Book Description
Excerpt from Gravestone Inscriptions and Records of Tomb Burials in the Central Burying Ground, Boston Common, and Inscriptions in the South Burying Ground, Boston As a result of a general complaint by the citizens and undertakers of Boston that no more space was available either in the King's Chapel or Granary burying grounds, in 1740, John Chambers, with other undertakers and grave diggers, petitioned the selectmen to purchase a new cemetery in the south end of the town. Eight years later, a committee was appointed to consider the matter and a plan was submitted at a town meeting held May 9, 1748, which provided for the laying out of about an acre and one-half near the southeast corner of the Common, bounded by the Tremont street Mall, and Frog Lane, the present Boyl ston street. It appeared, however, that the proposed lot would in part extend into the Common and opposition developed and the discussion continued for another eight years.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
