JAMES LOUIS PETIGRU

[St. Michael's Churchyard, Charleston, South Carolina.]

JAMES LOUIS PETIGRU
Born at

Abbeville May 10th. 1789,

Died at Charleston March 9th. 1863.
Jurist, Orator, Statesman, Patriot.
Future times will hardly know how great a life
This simple stone commemorates,-

The tradition of his eloquence, his
Wisdom and Wit may fade;

But he lived for ends more durable than fame.
His eloquence was the protection of the poor and wronged,
His learning illuminated the principles of Law—
In the admiration of his Peers,

In the respect of his People,
In the affection of his Family,
His was the highest place;
The just meed

Of his kindness and forbearance.

His dignity and simplicity,

His brilliant Genius and his unwearied industry,

Unawed by Opinion

Unseduced by Flattery,
Undismayed by disaster.

He confronted Life with antique Courage
And Death with Christian Hope.

In the great Civil War

He withstood his People for his Country, But his People did homage to the Man Who held his conscience higher than their praise; And his Country

Heaped her honours on the grave of the Patriot,
To whom, living,

His own righteous self-respect sufficed,
Alike for Motive and Reward.

"Nothing is here for tears, nothing to wail
Or knock the breast, no weakness, no contempt,
Dispraise or blame, nothing but well and fair
And what may quiet us in a life so noble."

This stone is erected by his Daughter
Caroline Carson.
