Excerpt from An Original Collection of Extant Epitaphs
The nature of this work is evident at a glance, and is sufficiently explained by its title. It is offered as interesting in itself, and as a contribution of materials, often touching, often striking - but always illustrative of human character and if it be true that the proper study of mankind is man, it is thought that the book may possess some interest not only for sympathetic readers, but also for reflective minds and students of human nature.

The author, a commercial traveller, spent years collecting epitaphs from churchyards across England. He was fascinated by their diversity, and his work captures the poignant beauty of these humble memorials.
