The monument to his memory stands near the head of the Boston Common, facing the State House.

It is counted to be the most perfect piece of art of the kind to be found in the country.
The exercises connected with the dedication were held in Music Hall, in Boston, and the great hall was packed from top to bottom with one of the most distinguished audiences that ever assembled in the city.

Among those present were more persons representing the famous old anti-slavery element that it is likely will ever be brought together in the country again.

The late Hon.

Roger Wolcott, then Governor of Massachusetts, was the presiding officer, and on the platform with him were many other officials and hundreds of distinguished men.
