Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mount Auburn: Illustrated in Highly Finished Line Engraving, From Drawings Taken on the Spot
The beautiful forest-tract which has been chosen, by so many of the citizens of Boston and its environs, as a fitting spot to be the last resting-place of the living when dust shall be returned to its original dust, has emphatically a history of its own - a history not more of data, possession, and original ownership, than of thoughts and contemplations. An unwritten history, it is true, it must ever be; but if those thickly wooded vales, yet fresh with the growth of centuries, could be endowed with language, many an ethical and pathetic story could they tell.
