Cornhill. The device contains a profile bust of the deceased
WASHINGTON in an obelisk, with the trophies of war, and the
arms of the U.S.; round the monument are nymphs in the posture
of mourning; and on the base are inscribed in legible
characters the initials of his name, and the date of his birth
and death.
