Description

This is the memorial of Matthew Flinders displayed on page 521 in The Life of Matthew Flinders by Ernest Scott.

The memorial reads:
in memory of
captain MATTHEW FLINDERS, r.n.
aged 40 years
after having twice circumnavigated the globe. he was
sent by the admiralty in the year 1801, to make
discoveries on the coast of terra australis.
returning from this voyage he suffered shipwreck
and by the injustice of the french government
was imprisoned six years in the
island of mauritius.
in 1810 he was restored to his native land and not
long after was attacked by an excruciating disease.
the anguish he bore until death
with undeviating fortitude
his country will long regret the loss of one whose
exertions in her cause were only equalled by
his perseverance
but his family will deeply feel the
irreparable deprivation.
they do not herein lament a man of superior intellect
they mourn an affectionate husband,
a tender father. a kind brother,

and a faithful friend.
Date (UTC). Printed in 1914 edition.
