HONOURABLE SIR HENRY

BLACKWOOD, BART.

K.C.B.G.C.G.

who died dec the 13th 1832,

personal character; with valour

combining a strong sense of

religion, and the elevation of an

upright noble mind with all the

endearing feelings of a manly

generous and benevolent heart.

this tribute of sorrow and

affection to the memory of one so

justly honoured and beloved is

offered by his deeply afflicted

widow and his surviving children.
