Poulson's American Daily Advertiser (Philadelphia, PA), Mar. 14, 1816, p. 3:
DIED, in London, on the 29th of December last, PHINEAS BOND, Esquire, for many years Consul General of His Britannic Majesty, for the Middle and Southern States of America.
Mr. Bond was a native of Philadelphia, and was bred to the Bar, when he was rising into celebrity, when the Revolution commenced. Uniform and undeviating in his adherence to principles which he believed to be correct, he avowed himself as a Loyalist but though he maintained his opinions with steadiness, he determined to take no part against his fellow citizens, and quitted his country, bearing with him the attachment and esteem of the most respectable of those with whose political feelings and conduct he was at variance. After the War of the Revolution, he returned to America in a public character, and was received with the respect and affection due to his acknowledged worth. Gifted with an acute and comprehensive mind, improved by literature and polished by society, his conversation was, by turns, gay and entertaining, solid and instructive. As a son and a brother, he offered a rare example of respectful duty and protecting tenderness; and his affections were extended to all his relatives, over the welfare of some of whom he watched with the anxious care of a father.
Faithful, zealous, and indefatigable in the discharge of his official duties, and performing, with alacrity, an extensive range of gratuitous services, even to strangers, his incessant labors for the interests and accommodation of the public, and of individuals, gradually undermined an excellent constitution, and shortened a life highly valuable to his family, his friends and the community at large.
