TO THE MEMORY OF/ MR AMON WILDS/ DIED SEPTEMBER 12TH 1833,
AGED 71 YEARS/ A REMARKABLE INCIDENT ACCOMPANIES THE PERIOD AT
WHICH THIS GENTLEMAN CAME TO SETTLE IN BRIGHTON./ THROUGH HIS
ABILITIES AND TASTE, THE ORDER OF THE ANCIENT ARCHITECTURE OF
BUILDINGS IN BRIGHTON/ MAY BE DATED TO HAVE CHANGED FROM ITS
ANTIQUATED SIMPLICITY AND RUSTICITY; AND ITS IMPROVEMENTS/
HAVE SINCE PROGRESSIVELY INCREASED. HE WAS A MAN OF EXTENSIVE
GENIUS, AND TALENT, AND IN HIS/ REPUTATION FOR UPRIGHTNESS OF
CONDUCT COULD ONLY MEET ITS PARALLEL."
