His Lordship, therefore, complied with a request made to him to sit to Mr. Morris, R.A., who is a native of Dover. The portrait is admirably painted full-length. His Lordship is represented in the Warden uniform - a blue coat with a scarlet collar - and is wearing the insignia of the Order of the Garter...At the Townhall Lord Palmerston was received by the Mayor and Corporation...attended by the Recorder. When the cheering of the townspeople who filled the hall had subsided Lord Palmerston was presented with a Corporation address: "...we trust that the memorial will be universally recognised as most appropriate. We sincerely hope that in the fulfilment of your Lordships high and responsible duties you may be blessed by Divine Providence with uninterrupted health and energy, and that our sense of your Lordships public services as First Minister of the Crown and a senator of the realm may, by this days proceeding, be recorded by future generations still revering the honoured jurisdiction of the Cinque Ports". From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
