Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Collection of Epitaphs and Monumental Inscriptions, on the Most Illustrious Persons of All Ages and Countries The origin of epitaphs, the precise period when first introduced, and by what nation they were first used, are subjects involved in obscurity. They are supposed to be of the same age with the art of writing. The practise of erecting memorials to the dead, is almost coeval with the existence of the human race. The Pyramids, about which so many different statements have been made, are generally supposed to be the oldest sepulchral monuments, even older than Abraham, erected to transmit to future ages the memory of the princes who built them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collection of Epitaphs and Monumental Inscriptions: Chiefly in Scotland The most liberal use of this valuable collection was granted to the publisher, and he trusts that the value of this volume is greatly enhanced by the free use made of the materials so fortunately obtained. Most of the Epitaphs contributed by Mr. Dobie, are original; others, are more accurate copies of some remarkable inscriptions which were formerly published. The publisher is also indebted to Mr. John Dunn, of Paisley, for accurate copies of some inscriptions on die curious old stones in the Abbey burying ground. As a colection of this kind is of little use as a book of reference without an index; considerable pains have been taken in compiling one for this volume, and if not complete, it will at least be found copious, as it contains more than eight hundred names.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Collection of Epitaphs and Monumental Inscriptions, Historical, Biographical, Literary, and Miscellaneous, Vol. 1: To Which Is Prefixed, an Essay on Epitaphs The compiler of this work having, for a long series of years, derived considerable amusement from visiting the "silent mansions of the dead," and transcribing therefrom such inscriptions as he deemed most worthy of preservation, is induced to offer the produce of his industry to the public, in the hope that it may prove neither uninstructive nor unentertaining in the perusal. But while he humbly claims some merit for the large portion of original matter that will be found exclusively in these volumes, he cannot withhold his obligations from the more early collectors, Toldervey, Hackett, and others, from whose labours he has derived many valuable additions, which, from the perishable nature of the originals, are, with the subjects they commemorate, falling hourly into oblivion.
