"An Elogy to the Memory of the late Wm. Palgrave, Esq., with Other Pieces" by Jas. Parker son, Jun. is a poignant memorial written during the early 19th century.

The book presents a heartfelt tribute that outlines the personal and communal impact of William Palgrave's life. It details his compassion for the less fortunate, his fair and just approach as a magistrate, and the deep affection he held for his family. Through poetic language, it celebrates his unwavering support for those in need and paints a picture of a man whose legacy is marked by kindness and integrity.
