Grace, eldest daughter of Sir Thomas Mauleverer of
Allerton Mauleverer in Yorkshire, Bart. born 1622,
married unto Col. Scott, a member of the Hon. House
of Commons 1644, and died Feb. 24, 1645.
He that will give my GRACE but what is hers,
Must say her death has not
Made only her dear SCOTT,
But Virtue, Worth, and Sweetness, widowers.
75. The monument of Dame Mary James
is neatly ornamented with an urn, wreath-
ed and crowned with a Viscount's coronet,
on a handsome pedestal. The inscription
observes that this Lady was wife to Sir
John James, of the ancient family of the
Lords of Hostrick in Holland, and that she
died Nov. 6, 1667.
76. A magnificent and elegant monu-
ment of white marble to the memory of Sir
Petter Warren, done by Roubiliac. Close
to the wall is a large flag hanging to the
flag-staff, and spreading in very natural
folds behind the whole monument. Before
it is a fine figure of Hercules placing Sir
Peter's bust on its pedestal; and on the
other side, Victory, with a laurel wreath
in her hand, is seated gazing on the bust
with a look of melancholy mixed with

admiration. Behind her a Cornucopia pours
out fruit, corn, the fleece, &c. and by it
is a cannon, an anchor, and other decora-
tions. The inscription is as follows:
Sacred to the memory
Of Sir PETER WARREN,
Knight of the Bath,
Vice Admiral of the Red Squadron
Of the British Fleet,
And Member of Parliament
For the City and Liberty of Westminster.
And a little lower:
He derived his descent from an ancient Family of IRELAND,
His fame and honours from his virtues and abilities.
How eminently these were displayed,
With what vigilance and spirit they were exerted,
In the various services wherein he had the honour to command,
And the happiness to conquer,
Will be more properly recorded in the annals of
GREAT BRITAIN.
On this tablet, affection with truth may say,
That deservedly esteemed in private life,
And universally renowned for his public conduct,
The judicious and gallant officer
Possessed all the amiable qualities of the Friend,
The Gentleman, and the Christian.
