After the decease of H . R . H . the Duke of Sussex , a sum of money was raised , to which the Fraternity largely contributed , for the purpose of erecting some testimonial of the public estimation of the late M . W . Grand Master ' s merits . This sum has been variously stated ; but we believe it amounted © nly to about £ 1 , 400 .

The Duke of Sussex was a great friend bo literature and art , and a warm supporter of the charitable endowments for which England and Masonry are renowned ; and we therefore think the devotion of the amount of the subscription to the Free Hospital a much more fitting memorial to our highly respected Grand Master
