COMMENTS: "This volume contains a great variety of churchyard inscriptions, or Epitaphs, which have been gathered from various sources. many of them have, from time to time, appeared in one of our best and most popular magazines. (Harper's Monthly), Quite a number have also been taken from two English works (Chronicles of the Tombs, and Palmer's Epitaphs). Includes: Underneath an llustration of a man with a huge knot on the top of his head- "Our father lies beneath the sod, His spirit's gone unto his God; We never more shall hear his tread, Nor see the wen upon his head". -and on Thomas Kemp, who was hanged for sheep stealing "Here lies the body of Thomas Kemp, Who lived by the wool, but died by the hemp; There's nothing would suffice this glutton, but, with the fleece, to steal the mutton; Had he but work'd and lived uprighter, He'd ne'er been hung for a sheep biter."

CONDITION: Rebound in blue cloth with gilt title on spine, Library bookplate inside front cover. Library blind stamp to title page, previous owner inscription to top edge front free end paper.
