This book presents the full text of an address delivered at the consecration of a rural cemetery in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1838, along with additional correspondence and contextual information. This address, along with the historical context the author provides, illuminates the changing cultural attitudes toward burial practices in 19th century America. The author discusses how, in a rapidly transforming society in which new land was constantly being settled and exploited, traditional burial grounds were being neglected and even desecrated. This led to a movement to establish more permanent and protected rural cemeteries. The address itself is a moving and eloquent meditation on death, memory, and the importance of honoring the dead with respect and dignity, offering insights into the ways in which these themes were understood and expressed in the 19th century.
