Excerpt from Philadelphia and Its Environs

Washington Square was once a Potter's field. Many soldiers, victims of the smallpox and camp fever, were buried here during the Revolution. The ground under the waving trees and springing grass, where the birds sing and the children play, is literally full of dead men's bones, but the grass is no less green, the sunshine no less bright, on that account, and the dead sleep none the less peacefully, for the life above them.
