	"Sacred to the Memory of / CAPTAIN JOSEPH HUDDART, F.R.S. / Formerly of the Honorable East India Company's Service, / And one of the Elder Brethren of the Corporation of the Trinity House, London."
	"He was born at this Place 11th. January, 1741. / And died at Highbury Terrace, near London, August 19th. 1816."
	"He has left a Memorial of his Fame far more lasting than this Monument / in those numerous Works of Science by which he has done / Honor to his Country, benefitted Commerce, and improved Navigation. / "Unto whom much is given, of them shall much be required," / And of him it may truly be said that the pre-eminent powers of his mind, and his / superior acquirements in Mathematics, Mechanics, and Astronomy, / were unnceasingly devoted to the services of humanity, / by pointing out a / More Secure Path in the Trackless Deep, / and by encreasing the facilities and lessening the dangers of those who "go down to the sea in Ships, and occupy their business in great waters," / "THESE MEN SEE THE WONDERS IN THE DEEP." / They were strongly impressed on his capacious mind; he saw and acknowledged them the wondrous works of God, and meekly trusting in the merits of his Saviour / closed a life of unblemished integrity in the 76th. year of his age."
	"His only surviving Son Erects this Monument in commemoration of those virtues / which endeared him in all the relations of his private life."
