And Sir Walter Scott caused a monument to be erected in his garden, with the following inscription, in memory of this faithful truth-lover: "This stone was placed by the Author of 'Waverley' in memory of Helen Walker, who fell asleep in the year of our Lord 1791.

But that humble Truth-lover who has learned to distinguish between opinion and Truth, regards all men with the eye of charity, and does not seek to defend his opinions against theirs, but sacrifices those opinions that he may love the more, that he may manifest the spirit of Truth, for Truth in its very nature is ineffable and can only be lived.

The signs by which the Truth-lover is known are unmistakable.
