♦ The Birth Place of Alexander Wilson, the American Ornithologist.— Born 6th
July, 1766; died 23d August 1813.
The Columbia Society of Fine Arts, of which he was a member, walked in
procession before the hearse, and wore crape round their arms for thirty days.
His remains were deposited in the cemetery of the Swedish Church, in the dis-
trict of Southwark, Philadelphia. While in the enjoyment of health, he had, in
a conversation with a friend on the subject of death, expressed a wish to be bur-
ied in some rural spot, sacred to peace and solitude ; whither the charms of na-
ture might invite tne steps of the votary of the muses and the lover of science,
and where the birds might sing over his grave. It has been matter J of regret to
those of his friends to whom was confided the mournful duty of ordering his
funeral, that this desire had not been made known to them, otherwise it should
have been piously observed. A plain marble tomb marks where his du3t re-
poses, on which appears the following inscription : —
This Monument covers the remains of Alexander Wilson, author of the
American Ornithology. He was born in Renfrewshire, Scotland, on the 6th
July, 1766 ; emigrated to the United States in the year 1794 ; and died in Phila-
delphia, of the dysentery, on the 23d August, 1813, aged 47.
