Chronicles Of The Tombs: A Select Collection Of Epitaphs is a book written by Thomas Joseph Pettigrew. As the title suggests, it is a compilation of epitaphs, or inscriptions found on gravestones, from various cemeteries around the world. The book is divided into chapters based on location, including England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Italy, and the United States. Each chapter begins with a brief introduction to the history and culture of the area, followed by a selection of interesting and unique epitaphs. The epitaphs range from humorous to poignant, and provide insight into the lives and beliefs of those buried in the respective cemeteries. The book also includes illustrations and photographs of some of the gravestones, as well as a glossary of terms related to epitaphs and cemetery art. Overall, Chronicles Of The Tombs is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in history, genealogy, or the art of cemetery memorials.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
