Century Memorial

Whatever of fame may be won by profound study of the principles of an art, and poetic genius in illustrating them, whatever manliness and sincerity can do to gain respect, whatever love rewards gentle and constant sympathy, all these belonged to Gifford, and crown his memory among us.
