Barry, is a testament to Milner Gibson's significant contributions as the Association's president for twelve years. The centerpiece bears an inscription, "Presented to the Right Hon. Thomas Milner Gibson, M.P., by the members and friends of the Association for the Repeal of the Taxes on Knowledge as a commemorative testimonial of his important services during twelve years as their president." The inscription continues to list the milestones achieved in the movement for the repeal of taxes on knowledge: the abolition of advertisement duty on August 4, 1853; the repeal of the compulsory stamp on newspapers on June 29, 1855; and the repeal of paper duty on October 1, 1861.
