'Ad memoriam | Henrici Hallam | Historici | Qui primus inter rerum Anglicarum scriptores |hanc sibi legem imposuit | ut tanquam judex in tribunali sedens | sine partium studio verum rectumque decerneret. | Patrem optimim, attavis ortum Bostoniensibus | cujus magnum apud omnes nomen ipsa domi et in sina fovet | hoc aere insigniri voluit | Filia'

[To the memory of Henry Hallam, Historian, who first among writers of English matters imposed this law on himself, that as if a judge sitting in court he would - without party spirit, pronounce the true and the right. His daughter wished her excellent father, sprung from Bostonian ancestors, whose great name amongst all she herself cherishes at home and in her breast, to be distinguished with this bronze].
