A Tract Upon Tomb-Stones is a fascinating glimpse into Victorian-era attitudes toward death and remembrance. Written by F.E.P. (likely Francis Edward Paget), a member of the Lichfield Society for the Encouragement of Ecclesiastical Architecture, this tract offers suggestions for those intending to erect tomb-stones. It reflects the architectural and social values of the time, providing insights into the design, materials, and inscriptions considered appropriate for funerary monuments. This short but compelling work offers a unique perspective on Victorian social history, architectural aesthetics, and the enduring human desire to commemorate the deceased. It is a valuable resource for researchers and anyone interested in funerary art, social customs, and the history of taste.
