Description: In a letter to the editor, 'Viator' quotes the lines inside Ralph Allen's monument near Prior Park. 'The World's a Printing-house; in which enclosure, Each soul's a sheet, form'd by the great composer: Our thoughts and deeds are types of various sizes, Which Christ corrects and heav'n the whole revises: Death is the press, by which, we being driv'n, Are gather'd sheet by sheet and bound for heav'n. August 1814. P. Evans, Printer'.
Newspaper cutting from the Bath Journal, 4th August 1814.
