The remains of John Jackson rest in Brompton Cemetery, beneath a handsome monument, by Mr. Thomas Butler, of which we give a faithful representation. On the side of the mausoleum nearest to the entrance is inscribed on each side of a medallion portrait of the deceased:— HERE LIE THE Born, Sept. 28, REMAINS OF 1769, JOHN JACKSON, Died, Oct. 7, 1845. HIC VICTOR CÆSTUS ARTEMQUE REPONO. On the opposite side to the footpath is a nude gladiator, holding a laurel wreath, and plunged in grief. On the top is a lion couchant, and on the farther end we read the following:— “Stay, traveller,” the Roman records said, To mark the classic dust beneath it laid;— “Stay, traveller,” this brief memorial cries, And read the record with attentive eyes. Hast thou a lion’s heart, a giant’s strength? Exult not, for these gifts must yield at length. Do health and symmetry adorn thy frame? The mouldering bones below possessed the same. Does love, does friendship every step attend? This man ne’er made a foe, ne’er lost a friend. But death too soon dissolves all human ties, And, his last combat o’er, here Jackson lies. THIS MONUMENT was erected by the subscriptions of several noblemen and gentlemen, to record their admiration of one whose excellence of heart and incorruptible worth endeared him to all who knew him.

As a foil to the bright memoir of a high-minded, self-respecting, and honoured athlete, we cannot better “point a moral” than by devoting a brief chapter to the sudden rise and inglorious fall of the “lion-hearted” boxer, known in the latter part of his career as “Bully Hooper;” his story is a beacon of warning to the successful pugilist in the day of his patronage, prosperity, and success.
