Curious Epitaphs Collected From The Graveyards Of Great Britain And Ireland: With Biographical, Genealogical, And Historical Notes (1883) is a book by William Andrews that is dedicated to exploring the unique and interesting epitaphs found on gravestones throughout Great Britain and Ireland. The book is divided into chapters that focus on different regions and cemeteries, with each chapter containing a selection of epitaphs and accompanying notes that provide context and historical background information. The epitaphs themselves range from humorous and lighthearted to somber and reflective, and offer a glimpse into the lives and personalities of the individuals they commemorate. Some of the epitaphs are written in verse or include quotes from literature, while others are more straightforward and direct. In addition to the epitaphs themselves, the book also includes biographical and genealogical information about the individuals buried in the cemeteries featured in the book, as well as historical notes that provide context for the time periods in which they lived. Overall, Curious Epitaphs Collected From The Graveyards Of Great Britain And Ireland: With Biographical, Genealogical, And Historical Notes (1883) is a fascinating exploration of the unique and often overlooked art of gravestone epitaphs, and offers a glimpse into the lives and histories of the individuals buried in these cemeteries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
