Epitaph

The epitaph on the statue erected to William Wilberforce in Westminster Abbey is: “In an age and country fertile in great and good men he was among the foremost of those who fixed the character of their times; because to high and various talents, to warm benevolence, and to universal candour, he added the abiding eloquence of a Christian life.”
