“To bid the memory of the great and good live for ever—to say to the
name of Genius, ‘ESTO PERPETUUM’—is the very grandest fiat that human
power can issue; nor does man ever seem more deserving of immortality
himself, than when, as far as in him lies, he thus worthily confers it upon others.”
—Speech of Mr Moore at the Freemasons' Tavern, London, 5th
June, 1819, in order to promote a Subscription for a Monument to Burns
at Edinburgh.
