Statue of Sir John Malcolm, in Westminster Abbey, 1857. Sculpture by Francis Legatt Chantrey, showing Malcolm in uniform with his left hand on a sword. '...Sir John Malcolm...during fifty years, served his country with honour, judgment, and usefulness, both as a soldier and a diplomatist. His history of Persia is a standard work, and his volumes on India are manuals for Oriental statesmen. He enjoyed the personal friendship of some of the most illustrious men of the age in which he flourished. The King of Persia esteemed him more than any other European who had visited his Court'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
