Reseña del editor: Excerpt from A Glimpse at the Monumental Architecture and Sculpture of Great Britain, From the Earliest Period to the Eighteenth Century

Hydriotaphia, a beautifully written treatise on urn burial, a work which, though in the present day of no practical utility in the discrimination of ancient sepulchral remains, has received deserved attention from the quaint yet elegant style of com position, and the learning displayed therein.* No further progress appears to have been made with respect to the illustration of sepulchral monu ments till towards the close of the eighteenth cen tury, when a taste for antiquarian pursuits seems to have gained rapid ground.
