lG02] REV. WILLIAM SM/TII, D. D. 419 



I do further direct that the figure of the angel coming down from 

 heaven, having in one hand a Httle book, open, and setting his right 

 foot on the sea and his left foot on the earth, with the other hand lifted 

 up to heaven, in the act of swearing or proclaiming, etc. (as in Rev. 

 X.), proposed for the top of the mausoleum, be not forgot, and that 

 Mr. Rush, the carver, be expedited to finish and put up the same ac- 

 cording to hij promise; that the words " Time shall be no more " be 

 cut on the small marble, above the large marble containing the inscrip- 

 tion over the door on the outside; that the letters of the said inscription 

 be painted black, or some other color to make them easily legible from 

 the ground. 



Item. I will and devise that a decent tombstone may be soon erected 

 over the grave of my dear deceased son, Thomas Duncan Smith, ex- 

 pressive of that parental affection which he enjoyed and deserved during 

 his life; and the singular estimation in which he was held as a physician 

 and the first magistrate elected by the inhabitants of the county of 

 Huntingdon after its erection, conducting himself with such benevo- 

 lence, assiduities, abilities and disinterestedness in both characters that 

 his memory continues and is likely to continue long precious to the 

 citizens of that county, and especially among the poor, whose civil 

 differences he generally reconciled without the rigor of legal process, 

 and to whose bodily ails and family affliction he administered comfort 

 and relief to the last moment of his short life, without charging, and 

 seldom ever accepting, a fee or emolument of office. Let all this be 

 expressed in simple and modest terms, for monuments of the dead are 

 too often like life itself — a short and transient vanity, unless they are 

 sanctioned by the public voice. 



Item. I here ordain and direct that fourteen mourning rings, of the 

 value of twenty dollars each, be prepared and given by my executors ; 

 that is, one ring as a token of my love to each of the following persons: 

 my beloved relations or friends; that is to say, my dear sisters-in-law, 

 Mrs. Williamina Bond, Mrs. Ann Ridgely and Mrs. Letitia Smith; 

 Mrs. Ennals, of Shoal Creek, Dorset county, Maryland; my daughter- 

 in-law, Mrs. Mary Smith, of Lancaster; my daughter Rebecca; my 

 grand-daughter, Sarah Yerbury Goldsborough ; my three sons, William 

 Moore Smith, Charles Smith and Richard Smith, viz., one ring each; 

 my dear brother, the Hon. Thomas Smith, Esq. ; my dear friends, the 

 Hon. Jasper Yeates, Esq., the Right Rev. William White, Bishop of the 

 Protestant Episcopal Church in the State of Pennsylvania, and Benjamin 

 R. Morgan, Esq., counsellor at law in the city of Philadelphia, one ring 

 each. Lastly, I do hereby constitute and appoint my dear brother, the 

 Hon. Thomas Smith, Esq., of the city of Philadelphia, my worthy 

 friends, the Hon. Jasper Yeates, Esq., of the borough of Lancaster, the 

 Right Rev. William White, Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church 

 in the State of Pennsylvania, and Benjamin R. Morgan, Esq., counsel-
