In addition to the property mentioned here, Fielding possessed a library, as Mr Austin Dobson discovered, [1] which when sold six months after his death, "for the Benefit of his Wife and Family," realised £364, 7s. 1d. or "about £100 more than the public gave in 1785 for the books of Johnson." [2] Also according to the _Recollections of the Late John Adolphus_, by Henderson, Fielding purchased a 90 years' lease of a house near Canterbury, for one of his daughters. Of the children mentioned in this will, William became, a contemporary writer tells us, "an eminent barrister at law and inherits the integrity of his father and a large share of his brilliant talents." [3] Mr Austin Dobson refers to William Fielding as being like his father "a strenuous advocate of the poor and unfortunate," and adds that the obituary notice in the _Gentleman's Magazine_ records his worth and piety. [4] Harriet Fielding is said to have been of "a sweet temper and great understanding." [5] Allen Fielding became Vicar of St. Stephens Canterbury, and was "greatly beloved by all, especially the little children," writes a descendant. Allen Fielding's four sons all took Orders, and of the second, Charles, it was written on his death, that "he had not only a heart that could feel for others, but a heart that lived in giving." [6] The noble qualities of Henry Fielding found their echo in his descendants. [1] Austin Dobson. _Fielding_. Appendix IV. p. 212-13; _and Eighteenth Century Vignettes_, 1896, pp. 164-178.

On one side is inscribed: LUGET BRITANNIA GREMIO NON DARI FOVERE NATUM On the other side are the following lines: Henrici Fielding A Somersetensibus apud Glastoniam oriundi Viri summo ingenio en quae restant: Stylo quo non alius unquam Intima qui potuit cordis reserare mores hominum excolendos suscepit Virtuti decorum, vitio foeditatem asseruit, suum cuique tribuens; Non quin ipse subinde irritaretur evitandis Ardensin amicitia, in miseria sublevanda effusus Hilaris urbanus et conjux et pater adamantus. Aliis non sibi vixit Vixit sed mortem victricem vincit dum natura durat dum saecula currunt Naturae prolem scriptis prae se ferens Suam et sua genlis extendet famam.
