Hugh, the youngest, was born on the 22nd of May, 1776; and was so called after the name of his father's great friend, Sir Hugh Palliser.
It hath often been mentioned, in terms of no small regret, that a monument hath not yet been erected to the memory of Captain Cook, in Westminster Abbey.
The wish and the hope of such a monument are hinted at in the close of Dr.Douglas's Introduction to the government edition of the last voyage; and the same sentiment is expressed by the author of the Eulogium, at the end of that Introduction.

Sir Hugh Palliser has also spoken to the like purpose, in a communication I received from him.

It would certainly redound to the honour of the nation, to order a magnificent memorial of the abilities and services of our illustrious navigator; on which account, a tribute of that kind may be regarded as a desirable thing.

But a monument in Westminster Abbey would be of little consequence to the reputation of Captain Cook.

His fame stands upon a wider base, and will survive the comparatively perishing materials of brass, or stone, or marble.
