[Rarebooks] FS: 1878 Copps Hill Burial Ground, Boston

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

TITLE: “The Graveyards of Boston. First Volume, Copp's Hill Epitaphs”

By William H. Whitmore.
Published in Albany by Joel Munsell in 1878.

DISCUSSION: Copp's Hill Burial Ground was the second cemetery laid out in
Boston, after King's Chapel Cemetery. Many early Boston notables are
buried there, including the Mathers, Increase and Cotton. Whitmore offers
a complete revision of Bridgman's 1852 work, complete with an attack on
Bridgman for leaving stones out, adding a few that were not there (???)
and getting some inscriptions wrong.

DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 6"x9", 116 pages, several line illustrations;
original pebbled cloth.

CONDITION NOTES: The covers have some light wear and soil (please see the
photo above). The book itself has some minor soil, but otherwise is clean
and nice, with a tight binding.

PRICE: $125 -
