Excerpt from A Manual for the Study of the Sepulchral Slabs and Crosses of the Middle Ages
This branch of archaeology has been hitherto much neglected, though it is a very interesting one, and the examples are much more numerous than is generally gined; the number which has already come under the author's notice amounts nearly to one thousand: much doubtless yet remains to be done in it, and the author begs to state his intention of prosecuting this study, and earnestly solicits the assistance of antiquarian students; rubbings, accurate drawings, notices of grave-stones, or any information on the subject, will be highly acceptable and very thankfully received.
The author cannot conclude without acknowledging his obligations to many gentlemen who have kindly lent rub bin gs and drawings, and furnished other assistance to the work, and in an especial manner to Albert Way, Esq., M. A.

This book explores the history of ancient grave stones, from their earliest forms in the Roman catacombs to their development into elaborate and symbolic monuments.
