THE MASTER MASON WHO BUILT ST . PAUL'S CATHEDRAL .

IN the Pariah Church of St . Peter , at St . Albans , is to be seen the monument to this man ' s memory . This handsome monument is formed of grey and white marble , with a bust at the top , and the following inscription , viz . : —

" Near this place are Deposited the Eemains of EDWARD STRONG , Citizen and Mason of London Whose masterly abilities and Skill in his Profession

The many Public Structures he was employed in Kaising Will most justly manifest to late Posterity . In erecting the Edifice of St . Paul , Several years of his Life were Spent ,

Even from its Foundation to His Laying the Last Stone And herein ( equally with it 3 ingenious Architect S Christopher Wren Audits truly pious Diocesan Bishop Compton )

He shared the Felicity Of seeing the Beginning & Finishing Of that Stupendous Fabrick . In Piety to his God In Justice , Fidelity , Kindness & Charity to his Neighbour

In Temperance , Humility , Contempt of the World , And the duo Government of all his A ppetites & Passions ,

In Conjugal & Paternal Affection , In every Kelatiou , every Action , & Scene of Life , He was what the Best Man , tho Best Christian , Would desiro to be at the Hour of Death : He died 8 th of February MDCCXXIII . In the 72 nd Year of his Ag-e . "

D . 1599 , aud in the same year it is referred to , in a minute of the Lodge of Edinburgh , as an affair of common occurrence in the entry of Apprentices . "
