WILLIAM LE MERCHANT,

Son of Robert Porret, and of Mary, his Wife;
Grandson of William; Nephew of Hirzel.
He died at an Academy on Wandsworth Common
in the County of Surrey, the 15th Day of Nov.
1799, in his 16th Year. His Manners were
affable and engaging; his Mind discerning,
emulous, cultivated; his Temper amiable;
his filial Love and Duty truly exemplary.
His diffrefled Parents have caufed this his Bust
to be made at his Death, in Teftimony of his
Worth: with the confident Hope that it will
be carefully preferved by their Pafterity, until
like other fublunary Things, it mouldereth away.
