inscription
verse above: "INDUSTRY/ Industry taught in early days/ Not only gives the Teacher praise/ But gives us pleasure when we view/ The work that we are taught to do/ Our parents with exalting joy/ Survey it as no Childifh toy/ But as a Prelude that each day/ A greater Genius shall display/ Go on my dear strive to Excell/ Improve in work and Reading well"; lower left-hand side: Mary Allen/ Fulfilled this/ piece"; lower right-hand side: "March 31 1825/ Aged 10 years."
