About this Item
Five volumes. Frontispiece in volumes one through four, frontispiece in volume five lacking. Original printed boards. Front board and frontispiece lacking from fifth; front hinge tender on other four volumes, spine on third volume heavily chipped. Later inscriptions on front pastedowns. Light scattered foxing, embossed library stamp on titlepages of first four volumes. Good. "The only extensive collection on the subject, and now scarce" - Sabin. It was Alden's habit to transcribe epitaphs of "worthies" found in grave yards of towns he visited during his travels in the South, Northeast, and Midwest. Here he cites the epitaphs and offers any information he was able to compile about the subjects. Full sets are rather scarce, particularly in original boards. HOWES A107. SHAW & SHOEMAKER 30648.
