26 April 1826, describing the Bunker Hill Monument, Boston, Mass. (quoted in Zukowsky 1976: 579) ^[1]

“The obelisk I have always preferred for its severe cast and its nearer approach to the simplicity of nature than the others. The column might be more splendid. The character of the obelisk, without a pedestal, seems to be strictly appropriate for the occasion and I think would rank first as a specimen of art and be highly creditable to the taste of the age.”
