TRANSLATION.<br />

" Here lies John Toland, born in Ireland, near<br />

" Londonderry, who in his youth studied in Scot-<br />

" land, Ireland, and at Oxford; and, having re-<br />

" peatedly visited Germany, spent his manhood<br />

" about London. He was a cultivator of every<br />

" kind of learning ; and skilled in more than ten<br />

" languages : the champion of truth, and the as-<br />

" sertor of liberty, but the follower or client of<br />

" none; nor was he ever swayed, either by me-<br />

" naces or misfortunes, from pursuing the path<br />

" which he chalked out to himself, uniformly pre-<br />

" ferring his integrity to his interest. His spirit<br />

" is re-united to his heavenly Father, from whom<br />

" it formerly proceeded ; his body, yielding to na-<br />

" ture, is also re-placed in the bosom of the earth.<br />

*'<br />

He himself will undoubtedly arise to eternal life,<br />

" but will never be the same Toland. Born 30th<br />

" November, 1670. Seek the rest from his writ-<br />

" ings."
