Published in Albany by Joel Munsell in 1878. description continues below the picture- - - - DISCUSSION: Copp's Hill Burial Ground was the second cemetery laid out in Boston, after King's Chapel Cemetery. Many early Boston notables are buried there, including the Mathers, Increase and Cotton. Whitmore offers a complete revision of Bridgman's 1852 work, complete with an attack on Bridgman for leaving stones out, adding a few that were not there (???) and getting some inscriptions wrong. DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 6"x9", 116 pages, several line illustrations; original pebbled cloth. CONDITION NOTES: The covers have some light wear and soil (please see the photo above). The book itself has some minor soil, but otherwise is clean and nice, with a tight binding. - - - - OVERSEAS BUYERS PLEASE NOTE: Our International shipping charges are based on the weight, when boxed for shipping, of each book -please check the postage chart for the cost of shipping to your country. We offer “combined shipping charges” for orders for more than one book –this often means the shipping cost for the books is less than it would have been if they had been purchased and shipped one at a time, so please ask us for a shipping quote if you are thinking about buying more than one book.
