J. C. Loudon’s seminal work on cemeteries was originally published in London
in 1843 on very poor-quality paper and with an extremely small font.
Professor James Stevens Curl is proposing to bring out a limited, numbered,
finely bound, hardback, enlarged facsimile edition.
The new edition will be on good paper,
with an enlarged font, and will include a new annotated Introductory Essay on
Loudon’s involvement with cemeteries by Professor Curl, with Bibliography, a
colour portrait of Loudon, a facsimile of Loudon’s Obituary of 1844, a List of
Subscribers, and an Index compiled by Auriol Griffith-Jones.
