Excerpt from An Address Delivered on the Consecration of the Worcester Rural Cemetery: September 8, 1838
It has been the care of all ages of the world and of all nations of men, to mark with tokens of affection and respect, the disposition of the re mains of the dead. The funeral pile has been erected, that their ashes might be gathered to the sacred urn. The process of embalming has been applied to preserve the body from decay. The Sarcophagus and the Tomb have kept precious relics long in the remembrance of the bereaved. The Cenotaph, the monumental Column, and the broken Shaft point to the repose of Heroes, and Patriots, and public Benefactors, while the simple head-stone marks the spot, where unobtrusive merit and humble worth find a burial place. Garlands and flowers have strewed the Bier of Youth and Beauty and Innocence, and the Willow and the Cypress are the recognized emblems of the tenderness of wounded affection, and the fidel ity of unsolaced grief; and where there was naught but the new raised earth to denote the place of interment, the tear of the Mourner has made fresh the sod of the Grave. Here, then, we pause, to ponder upon the purpose of our meeting together to contemplate the solemn still ness of the scene to summons to this now couse crated spot the hallowed associations of the living with the dead for here, in future, shall be traced the inevitable connexion of the one with the other.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the full text of an address delivered at the consecration of a rural cemetery in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1838, along with additional correspondence and contextual information. This address, along with the historical context the author provides, illuminates the changing cultural attitudes toward burial practices in 19th century America. The author discusses how, in a rapidly transforming society in which new land was constantly being settled and exploited, traditional burial grounds were being neglected and even desecrated. This led to a movement to establish more permanent and protected rural cemeteries. The address itself is a moving and eloquent meditation on death, memory, and the importance of honoring the dead with respect and dignity, offering insights into the ways in which these themes were understood and expressed in the 19th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781334674174_0
