When it came into the possession of the late Prince Frederick of Denmark, he caused monuments of Nor­ wegian marhlc to he erected in its gardens, in honour of Danes, Norwegians, and Holstcincrs, who were considered as benefactors, and ornaments to their country.

XII, Chap. 3rd verse; and on the pedestal that of Mathew XVI. Chap,, 18 verse; the words are not given but they are as follows.
