Marble, Charles C.,  "ADDRESSES OF THE DEAD"

 New York; G.W. Dillingham, Publisher: 1887.

The author writes- "This little compilation is intended to answer a want
which, it is believed, though often felt, has never been supplied. It was
begun with no purpose than to gratify the compiler's curiosity, and to
fill up some hours of enforced leisure. The question had often occurred to
him, in reading a biography or reflecting upon biographical subjects,
"Where is he, or where they, buried?" Let anyone ask himself this question
with reference to the illustrious dead of the past year, and he will be
surprised at his ignorance. And yet such information is not only agreeable
and useful, but is sometimes indispensable." In other words, a late
Victorian precursor to find-a-grave dot com, to locate the gravesites of
noted dead Americans. Uncommon.

Hardcover. 5"x6", 116 pages. Blue & black decorated covers. Some minor
scuffing, endpaper hinge cracking, binding shaken. [38110]

PRICE:  $125
