To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
You may often persuade your fellow-parishioners to give up the ugly headstones, with their vulgar doggrel rhymes, and make them choose proper emblems instead of those Avhich are now most common. ^Fhat can be worse than poppies and broken columns, which typify everlasting sleep and thwarted liopes, instead of the peaceful and hopeful rest of the Christian? But of all things shun urns: they are heathen and silly emblems, though more used perhaps than any- thuig else. Nor are they put on monuments... only : I know of more than one East end stuck about with urns and pots of different sizes and colours ; of a beautiful porch groaning under the weight of a shape- less modem urn ; and even of a Chancel-arch removed altogether to make way for an urn on the top of each pier. At any rate you can hinder the mutilation of the church itself for urns and monu- u meuts. It is a shame to cut away piers and carvings and mouldings, and to block up arches and windows for such tilings as these. It is a shame also to use monumental stones over again, and thus destroy the record of one man's life to make room for that of another.
