*40. =Nelson= (Vice-Admiral Horatio Viscount Nelson, K.B., and Duke of Bronte in the Neapolitan peerage, &c., 1758-1805). Completed about 1818, and placed just east of where the dean's stall now is (then outside the choir rails); placed in present position 1870. The actual statue in uniform and with left hand resting on anchor and cable is 7 feet 8 inches in height, and the whole monument about 18 feet. Flaxman thus described his design:--"Britannia is directing the young seamen's attention to their great example, Lord Nelson. On the die of the pedestal which supports the hero's statue are figures in basso-relievo, representing the Frozen Ocean, the German Ocean, the Nile, and the Mediterranean. On the cornice and in the frieze of laurel wreaths are the words, Copenhagen, Nile, Trafalgar. The British Lion sits on the plinth, guarding the pedestal." The life-like expression of the face was probably taken from the portrait by Leonardo Guzzardi, in the possession of the family. The cloak conceals the empty sleeve, and the right eye is wanting. (Flaxman.) [Illustration: NELSON'S MONUMENT.] 41. =Hardinge= (Captain Geo. N., R.N., 1779-1808). Above Nelson. Killed in command of the _San Fiorenzo_ when it captured the much larger _Piemontaise_ after a three days running fight, March 3, 1808, off Ceylon. The somewhat indifferently modelled male figure represents an East Indian Chief with the British colours. (C. Manning.) 42. =Brock= (Major-Gen. Sir Isaac, d. 1812). Killed at Queenstown, Upper Canada. (Westmacott.) 43. =Babington= (William, d. 1833). One of the few medical men. (Behnes.) 44. =Hoste= (Captain Sir William, R.N., d. 1831). Statue with simple epitaph. (Campbell.) 45. =Jones= (Sir William). A great Orientalist. One of the original Four, and of similar design to the Johnson across the dome. The open book on the smaller pedestal has a picture of Noah's Ark. On the larger pedestal, Study and Genius unveil Oriental knowledge. (Bacon.) 46. =Lyons= (Vice-Admiral Edmund Lord Lyons, 1790-1858). Commanded the Fleet before Sevastapool; also Minister at Athens. (Noble.) 47. =Abercromby= (Sir Ralph, 1736-1801). Defeated the French under Menou at Alexandria, mortally wounded, and died on board ship. He is falling from his horse, and a Highland soldier supports him. Large sphinxes on plinth. (Westmacott.) 48. =Moore= (Sir John, 1761-1809). Killed at Corunna, and Soult erected a humble monument over his grave. A Spanish soldier (why not in uniform?) and Victory are laying him in his grave. A child--the Genius of Spain--holds a trophy, the arms of Spain behind. Gracefully modelled and well executed. (J. Bacon, jun.) 48A. Tablet commemorating Queen's visit, 1872, for Prince of Wales' recovery. 49. =Cooper= (Sir Astley Paston, 1768-1841). A skilful operator before the days of chloroform. (Bailey.) 50. =Gillespie= (Major-General Robert Rollo, d. 1814). Mortally wounded in attempting to storm the fort of Nalapanee, in Nepaul.
