Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Copies of the Epitaphs in Salisbury Cathedral, Cloisters, and Cemetery
In none of these works, however, has a translation of the numerous Latin Inscriptions on the Monuments and Gravestones been given, a circumstance which has been considered by many as desirable, for the better elucidation of the history, not' only of the structure itself, but of the city, to which it is an ornament.
In the following sheets, I offer to the public, both copies of all the sepulchral inscriptions, and also a translation of such as are written in the Latin tongue. This, I ?atter myself, may not be altogether without its utility. To the professional man in the law, it may be of service in helping to trace out the pedigrees of numerous families; to the antiquary and scholar it may not be unacceptable; and to such persons as have not had a classical education, the translations may afford considerable amusement.
