Smart on titlepage. A reissue, with a different titlepage and without the portrait, of A Select Collection of Ancient and Modern Epitaphs. Collected by Thomas Caldwall, 1796. 'The first book-length epitaph anthology was John Weever's Ancient Funeral Monuments published in 1633. Weever's text set the precedent for the anthologies that followed, and by the eighteenth century, there appeared a steady line of volumes devoted solely to the transcription of epitaphs: John Le Neve's Monumenta Anglicana (published in 1719); William Toldervey's Select Epitaphs (published in 1754); Thomas Webb's New Select Collection of Epitaphs (published in 1775) and Thomas Caldwell's Select Collection of Ancient and Modern Epitaphs and Inscriptions (two editions, published in 1796 and 1802). These collections, modelled after Weever's, were compiled to 'preserve memory from oblivion', to record the information inscribed on the tombs in England's churches and churchyards.' ref: Paul Vita.
