To the memory of Roget Williams, the
apostle of soul liberty, founder of the State of
Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, this
monument is dedicated by the Providence Asso-
ciation of Mechanics and Manufacturers.
Below this spot, then at the waters edge, stood
the rock on which, according to tradition,
Roger Williams, an exile, for his devotion to
freedom of conscience, landed 1636, and hav.
ing a sense of God's merciful providence unto
me in my distress, called the place Providence,
I desired it might be for a shelter for persons
disfressed for conscience.
