They are more extensive than those of any similar institution in this country or Europe, and are entirely free from incumbrance. These grounds are situated in Brooklyn, on Gowanus Heights, about two and a half miles from the South Ferry. They are beautifully undulating and diversified, presenting continual changes of surface and scenery, and are remarkably adapted to the purpose for which they are appropri- ated. The elevated portions of the Cemetery afford numerous and interesting views, embracing the Bay and Harbor of New York, with its islands and forts, the cities of New York and Brooklyn, the shores of the North and East Rivers, New Jersey, Staten Island, the Quarantine, numerous towns and villages in every direction, together with a view of the Atlantic Ocean reach- ing from Sandy Hook to the Pavilion at Rockaway. The various Avenues in the grounds (exclusive of paths) extend about fifteen miles. These, together with the principal hills, dells, etc., are delineated on a map of the Cemetery, which is published in portable form, as a guide to those not familiar with the grounds. The ACT OF INCORPORATION which is inserted in Part Second of this publication, embraces every desirable provision for the pro- tection, permanence and proper government of the institution. It directs that the affairs of the Corporation shall be managed 6 RULES AND REGULATIONS by a Board of fifteen Trustees, to be chosen by the lot owners from among their own number ; each owner of a plot of land, not less than 300 superficial feet, to be entitled to a vote. It directs the Trustees so chosen to be divided into three equal classes, one class in rotation, to be elected every two years, for the term of six years, with the privilege of re-election indefinitely. It authorizes and directs the land acquired by the Corporation to be disposed of and used exclusively for the burial of the dead. It exempts such lands forever from assessments and public taxes, and also from liability to be sold on execution, or for the payment of debts by assignment under any insolvent law, and pro- vides for the termination of all avenues and streets at the boun- daries of the Cemetery. It requires that the proceeds of all sales of lots shall be applied to the purchase, preservation, improvement, and embellishment of the Cemetery, and to the incidental expenses thereof, and to no OTHER purpose WHATEVER. [Under this provision, a Fund will be formed, the interest of which will be adequate, after all the lots shall have been disposed of, to insure the perpetual care of the grounds and improvements, whether belonging to lot owners or to the institution,] It authorizes the Corporation to receive upon trust any donation or bequest for the purpose of improving or embellishing the Cem- etery generally, or any cemetery lot, and for the erection, preser- vation, and renewal of any monumental structure and inclosure. It provides for the punishment of any person who shall deface, mutilate or otherwise injure any monument, inclosure, or shrub- bery in the grounds, and also for the payment of any damages which may in consequence be sustained. 0alc0 of CDt0. T will be perceived, from the foregoing provi- sions of the charter. That purchasers of lots acquire not merely the privilege of burial, but also the fee simple of the ground which they purchase ; That they are the sole proprietors of the Cemetery ; That by their vote in the election of Trus- tees they control the government of the institu- tion ; OF THE GREEN-WOOD CEMETERY, 7 That, as all the receipts of the Institution must be expended in the purchase, improvement, and preservation of the grounds, no speculative interest can conflict with the wishes of lot owners respecting its management ; That, as all the resources will be thus appropriated, either im- mediately, or in the ultimate formation of a fund, the interest of which shall be annually appropriated as required, ample provision is made for the perpetual embellishment and preservation of the grounds ; That, as the ground is exempt from public taxes, and from lia- bility for debt, and is sold in lots which are not subject to assess- ment, or annual charge, the proprietors can never be forcibly de- prived of their ground. Purchasers may choose from all unselected ground not reserved for public monuments or other special uses. Mounds and hills, and places requiring peculiar improvements, will be sold, however, only in the forms and dimensions suggested by the agents of the Institution. The Surveyor or Keeper will always be at the grounds to aid those wishing to purchase. The price of an ordinary Burial Lot is $110, and in proportion for any additional fractional dimensions. When, however, forir or more lots are taken at one time, by one or more persons, iti a group, they are sold at $90 each. Smaller plots, but not less than one third of a lot, will be sold, at proportionate rates. These prices include all charges for grading and keeping in order. No charge will be made for any work unless especially ordered by lot owners. The enlargement of families and the desire which is naturally felt to be laid with one's kindred at death, often render it desira- ble to secure more than an ordinary lot. To facilitate this object a lower price is fixed where four or more lots are taken in one place. Large plots also admit of superior improvements, while the ex- pense of inclosure is proportionably reduced as the plot is en- larged.* The cost of a vault under ground together with the price of a lot will about suffice to purchase four lots, to inclose which i-equires but fifty-six feet more of railing than is needed for a single lot. Where four lots are inclosed together in a square or oblong form, the expense for each lot is 07ie half less than it separately inclosed. If in a circle the difference is still greater. * The railing required for I lot is about 80 feet.

Many of the beautiful hills and knolls, which are found in the Cemetery, may be sepa- rately inclosed without incurring much more expense than will be necessary to inclose a single lot. More space is thus obtain- ed for interments, as well as for the adornment of the grounds with shrubbery and flowers. It prevents also that excessive and unsightly crowding together of monuments which prevails where single lots only are laid out, and greatly aids in preserving the rural character of the Cemetery. The size of each lot is 12 by 25 feet, containing 300 superficial feet, in addition to which a foot is allowed on the margin all around, for purposes of inclosure, making the plot, in effect, 14 by 27 feet, and containing 378 superficial feet. Around each lot, when sold separately, and around each group of lots when sold as above, a space of three or four feet is always allowed. The form of the lot varies according to circumstances, depend- ing upon the peculiar surface of the ground, and the character of the improvements contemplated. Thus, lots are given in circu- lar, square, oblong, octagonal, or oval form, as the circumstances of each case render desirable. Proprietors may dispose of their lots, and have the transfer re- corded on the books of the Company, by the payment of one dollar for each transfer. Lots are conveyed by the Institution in form and manner fol- lowing : Know all Men by these Presents, That the Green-Wood Cemetery, in consideration of dollars, paid to them by of , the receipt whereof is hereby acknow- ledged. Do hereby grant, bargain, sell and convey to the said heirs and assigns Lot of Land in the Cemetery of the said Corporation, called " The Green-Wood Cemetery," situate in the Eighth Ward of the City of Brook- lyn, in the State of New York, which Lot delineated and laid down on the Register Map or Plan of the said Cemetery, in the possession of the said Corporation, and therein desig- nated by the number containing superficial feet.

In Testimony Whereof, the said The Green- Wood Cemetery, have caused this instrument to be signed by their and their Common Seal to be hereunto affixed, the day of in the year of our Lord, one thousand eisht hundred and [L. S.] RULES AND REGULATIONS ANNEXED TO DEED OF CONVEYANCE. I. All lots shall be held in pursuance of " An Act to Incorpo- rate the Green-Wood Cemetery," passed April 18, 1838, and an Act to alter and amend the same, passed April 11, 1839, and an Act further to amend the same, passed May 11, 1846, and shall not be used for any other purpose than as a place of burial for the dead. II. The Proprietor of each lot shall have a right to inclose the same with a wall not exceeding one foot in thickness, nor one foot in height above the surface, to be placed on the margin allowed for the purpose ; or with a railing (except of wood) ; but the Trustees request that all such railings should be light, neat, and symmetrical. III. Proprietors shall not allow interments to be made in their lots for a remuneration. IV. No disinterment shall be allowed without permission being obtained at the office of the Corporation. V. The Proprietor of each lot shall have a right to erect any proper stones, monuments, or sepulchral structures thereon, (ex- cept that no slab shall be set in any other then a horizontal posi- tion,) and to cultivate trees, shrubs and plants in the same ; but no tree growing within the lot or border, shall be cut down or destroyed without the consent of the Trustees. VI. If any trees or shrubs, situated in any lot, shall by means of their roots, branches or otherwise, become detrimental to the adjacent lots or avenues, or dangerous or inconvenient to pas- sengers, it shall be the duty of the said Corporation, and they shall have the right to enter the said lot and remove the said trees and shrubs, or such parts thereof as are detrimental, dan- gerous or inconvenient. VII. If any monument, effigy, or inclosure, or any structure whatever, or any inscription be placed in or upon any lot, which shall be determined by the major part of the Trustees for the time being, to be ofTensive or improper, or injurious to the appearance of the surrounding lots or grounds, the said Trustees, or a major part of them, shall have the right, and it shall be their duty to 10 RULES AND REGULATIONS enter upon such lot, and remove the said offensive or improper object or objects. VIII. It shall be the duty of the Board of Trustees, from time to time, to lay out or alter such avenues or walks, and to make such rules and regulations for the government of the grounds, as they may deem requisite and proper to secure and promote the general objects of the institution. IX. The Proprietors of lots, and their families, shall be al- lowed access to the grounds at all times, observing the rules which are or may be adopted for the regulation of visitors. lollies (Diicermiig Jmproioanents, URCHASERS may improve their lots when- ever it suits their convenience. To insure the proper regulation of the grounds, the grade of all lots will be deter- mined by the agents of the Institution. All workmen employed in the construction of vaults, inclosing of lots, erection of monu- ments, &c., must be subject to the control and direction of the agents of the Institution ; and any workmen failing to conform to this regulation, will not be permitted afterwards to work in the grounds. To protect the grounds, and especially improved lots, from injury by the introduction of casual workmen, who, not being regularly employed in the grounds, have no special interest in their preservation, the Trustees have made arrangements with responsible persons for the building of vaults, and also for mak- ing other improvements. Under this arrangement the work is executed more completely and durably, and at considerably less cost than could otherwise be done ; the materials being pur- chased and transported in large quantities, and the labor being performed by men who are thoroughly acquainted with their business. Owners of lots, however, may, if they prefer to do so, employ other workmen, except for the grading of lots and mak- ing excavations for vaults. All earth and rubbish accumulated by proprietors of lots, or their agents, must be carefully removed as soon as possible, and deposited wherever the agents of the Cemetery may direct. No Avail exceeding one foot in height above the surface of the ground, may be erected upon lots, nor may iron railings be erect- OF THE GREEN-WOOD CEMETERY. 11 ed exceeding three feet in height, Mdthout special permission being previously obtained. Wooden inclosures are not allowed. Tombs erected wholly or in part above ground, must be fur- nished with shelves, having divisions allowing interments to be separately made, and perpetually sealed, so as to prevent the escape of unpleasant effluvia. The Trustees have no wish to interfere with the taste of indi- viduals in regard to the style of their improvements ; but yet, in justice to the interests of the whole, they reserve to themselves the right of preventing or removing any erection or inclosure, which they shall consider injurious to the immediate locality, or prejudicial to the general good appearance of the grounds ; and also of removing or pruning any ti'ees or shrubbery which may obstruct, or mar the effect and beauty of the scenery, or may oth- erwise prove injurious or detrimental. 0itggc0tt0n0 to Cot ®ix)ncr0, DURABILITY OF IMPROVEMENTS. HE permanence of sepulchral architecture is an object so desirable, as to entitle it to special attention. The dilapidation and dis- figurement of structures reared for the dead, has been too common to excite surprise, but can never be witnessed without pain. Knowing as we do the numerous causes of decay and displacement, which are ever in action, it should be made a primary consid- eration to guard against them. Respect for the dead — respect for ourselves — and a just regard for the taste and feelings of all whom either affection or curiosity may attract to the Cemetery, demand so much, at least, of those who shall make improve- ments in Green-Wood, This is a matter, obviously, in which all are interested — for whatever the precaution and care used by some, if others through inattention suffer their grounds and mon- uments to become squalid and ruinous, painful contrasts will soon offend the eye, and the entire grounds will suffer a serious injury. It is not indeed possible wholly to prevent the ravages of at- mospheric influences, but proper care in the erection of the struc- ture will greatly counteract and long retard them, while those who shall see fit to take advantage of the provisions made by the charter for the preservation of monuments and inclosures, may insure their integrity and beauty for ages to come. With the view to promote this result, the ensuing suggestions are offered. 12 RULES AND REGULATIONS INCLOSURES OF LOTS. Various modes may be adopted, according to varying circum- stances. Those most in use are, hedges, posts and chains, posts and bars, and iron railings. These will be noticed in order. HEDGE INCLOSURES. These may be formed of various kinds of plants, but those best adapted to cemetery purposes are the box and the arbor vitae, which are evergreen ; the privet or prim, and the osage orange. The hawthorn is sometimes used, but being the native of a humid climate, its leaves often fall in August or September, making it less desirable than some other plants. For small plots the box is perhaps the best, as it is of slow growth, and does not for a long time attain such height as to exclude the circulation of air so necessary to the growth and luxuriance of the grass and shrubbery within the lot. For large plots the arbor vita3 is most suitable, as it presents at all seasons, if properly set out and trimmed, a screen of truly beautiful ver- dure. Hedges are not suitable for lots which have much descent, as the loose earth about the stems and roots is liable to be washed away by heavy rains. POSTS AND CHAINS. This mode of inclosure is objectionable. The chains are ex- tremely liable to rust, and as they do not bind the posts firmly together, and are frequently used as seats and swings by children, they soon get out of place, and of course present an unsightly appearance. POSTS AND BARS. Inclosures of this kind are substantial, and if not so generally introduced as to produce monotony, appear well. Various kinds of stone are used for posts, comprising granite, marble, and sand- stone. Care should be taken that whether for chains or bars, no posts should be used but such as are free from a stratified forma- tion. Quincy granite, and also some kinds of sand-stone, are ex- empt from this objection. If marble be used, the chains or bars which come more immediately in contact with the posts, should be so thoroughly painted as to prevent discoloration to the mar- ble from the rusting of the iron. IRON RAILINGS. In regard to these it may be remarked, that those which unite simplicity and good proportion are deemed to be in best taste, and most likely to aflbrd permanent satisfaction. While firmness OF THE GREEN-WOOD CEMETERY. 13 and stability should characterize each railing, unnecessary size and weight of iron should be avoided, especially in plots of ordi- nary size. Large plots require a somewhat heavier inclosure in order to appear well, particularly those in which massive monu- ments and tombs are erected. In selecting patterns, those which expose the fewest joints and crevices to the action of the weather should be preferred. Careful attention should be paid to the foundations on which they are erected. If coping be used, it should be placed on a stone wall, laid in cement, at least two and a half feet deep, so as to be secure from the action of the frost ; or if stone blocks or posts are used (which are preferable), they should be of granite, at least eight inches square at both ends, and placed securely in the ground not less than two and a half feet. Railings should be painted as soon as erected, before the rust commences forming, else the paint will be apt to come off in scales. The paint should consist of three coats, made quite thin, as a better body will thereby be formed than if made of the usual consistency. The first coat should be of red lead and litharge ; the second and third of pure white lead and oil, colored as may be desired. If the second coat be of lead color, it will best pre- pare the railing for any. other color which may be used. In painting, care should be taken to cover every part, and to fill every crevice. Thus painted, railings will require no care for several years. It may be well to observe, that common black paint or varnish being composed very frequently of lamp black and oil merely, will not long prevent the action of rust, and ought not, therefore, to be relied upon. If black be preferred as a color, two previous coats of red and lead colors should be applied. MONUMENTS. In regard to monuments, scarcely too much care can be be- stowed to insure permanency. The foundations should be kid strongly in cement, and be not less than six feet deep — the usual depth of graves. The stone of which the structure is made should be free from visible defects, and, if possible, of sufficient size to extend across the entire structure. Monuments composed of common masonry and faced with thin slabs of marble or stone, will not last. It is a species of veneering that will soon exhibit the effects of the severe exposure to vhich it is subjected — nor will even the solid stone long endure, unless it be made to lie on what is termed its natural bed. Most kinds of stone and marble are composed of strata, or layers, not unlike the leaves of a book. If the stones are placed edgewise, or vertically, so as to expose the strata unfavorably to the action of the weather and the frost, the seams will in time separate, and the whole structure eventu- ally fall into ruin and decay. 14 RULES AND REGULATIONS TOMBS. The preceding remarks will apply with even greater force to tombs built in part or wholly above ground. In such structures particular care is needed in the plan and construction which may be adopted. The stones of which they are built should be of sufficient length to extend frequently through the wall, not mere slabs set up on the edge, forming no bond of union between the outer and inner surface. Where angles occur, each alternate course should be composed of solid stones cut to the angle re- quired, so as to prevent effectually a separation of the walls. When placed in the hill side, the parts above the natural sur- face of the grounds hould be of cut stone, the sides as well as the front, so as to avoid all artificial embankments and sodding. The natural form of the hill will thus be preserved, unsightly artificial mounds will be prevented, and the expense of frequently renew- ing and repairing embankments will be avoided. The front foun- dation wall should not be less in depth than two and a half feet, nor should the side walls in any part be of less thickness than two feet. The roof should always be of stone tiles, or cut stone flag- ging, and the joints thoroughly protected from exposure to the weather. The interior of the tombs should be fitted up with shelves, (as required by the Rules,) so constructed as to admit of each coffin being permanently and tightly sealed at the time of in- terment, with tablets of stone or marble ready prepared for the inscription desired. Thus furnished, no unpleasant effluvia will be perceived, nor will any re-interment of the remains be neces- sary, as in other cases, after the coffins shall have decayed. VAULTS. Vaults imder ground should be built of stone walls, at least eighteen inches thick, with arch of hard brick twelve inches thick, and all laid in the best of cement ; lime should not be used for work under ground, nor is it well to use it in any way for monu- mental purposes. VARIETY IN MONUMENTS. As the permanency of monuments, and their inclosures, is essential to the proper appearance of the grounds, so are symme- try and variety of form necessary to produce a permanently pleasing effect. The experience of other institutions in this respect appeals with force to the lot owners of Green-Wood. The following passage, which occurs in a publication of the Laurel Hill Cemetery Corporation, at Philadelphia, is appropri- ate to the subject : " It has been the frequent remark of visitors — our own citizens as well as strangers — that a monotony already begins to be ap- OF THE GREEN-WOOD CEMETERY. 15 parent in the style and form of the improvements ; obelisk suc- ceeds obelisk, etc., with only slight variations, and if this is con- tinued, we shall see, in time, too dull a uniformity to strike the mind with agreeable sentiments. This may be obviated by a lit- tle more inquiry before ordering a monument, and by not always taking the advice of the stone-mason, often himself willing to sug- gest the greatest bulk for the least money, and thus allowing mar- ble to usurp the place of good taste," ****** " A correct idea, expressed in marble, may be very beautiful, so long as it is unique ; but by too frequent imitation, and in too close proximity with its original, it may destroy the charm of the first, and ultimately raise feelings in the beholder the reverse of those desired." A valuable article by N. Cleaveland, Esq., on the subject of monuments, and another by the same author respecting inscrip tions on monuments, will be found at the close of Part Second of this publication. They merit an attentive perusal by every per son contemplating the erection of a monument, and by all whi desire the prevalence of good taste in monumental improvements SHRUBBERY. In the selection and placing of trees and large shrubs, good judgment and taste should prevail. A very beautiful efiect maj be produced by appropriately grouping trees, so arranging size, form, and color, that all will harmonize, or contrast favor- ably with the surrounding shrubbery. If attention be not paid to this feature, the most beautiful landscape will be marred ; and common observation shows, that such results in the transplant- ing of trees are often witnessed. Discrimination should also be exercised in selecting smaller shrubbery and flowers, that they may be suitable to the purpose for which the grounds are set apart. To arrange a burial plot as one would plant a flower-garden, is, to say the least, in very ques- tionable taste. Care ought then to be taken that too many flowers are not set out, and that the kinds and colors of such as are select- ed be appropriate. Nothing coarse or incongruous with the ob- ject and the place, should be chosen. Those which are delicate in size, form, and color should be preferred. Such as ai-e simple and unobtrusive, and particularly those which are symbolical of friendship, afiection, and remembrance, seem most fitting to beau- tify the " Place of Graves." AID TO PROPRIETORS. Proprietors contemplating making improvements, will have every facility extended to them by applying at the office of the Cemetery. Plans and estimates of railings, monuments, and 16 RULES AND REGULATIONS tombs will be procured, and the superintendence of the whole will be undertaken by the Comptroller (without charge) if de- sired. The importance of special attention on the part of lot owners to the particulars contained in the preceding suggestions, has been strongly impressed upon the writer, while visiting other Cemete- ries in our country, and especially those of longest date. Nor, if we may credit testimony, is ti-ans-Atlantic experience at variance with our own. In all may be seen, both in failures and success, how essential it is that durable materials should be used — that the right modes of construction should be adopted, and that the execution of the work should be thorough and complete. Nor is it of small moment, as some may suppose, that the de- signs of monumental structures should avoid similarity. Nothing can tend more directly to render such grounds tame and uninter- esting, than the frequent recurrence of the same, or of similar forms, in the monuments and tomb-fronts. To prevent this result, slight alterations in particular features are sometimes made, but with little avail, so long as the general aspect and character are identical with those from which they are adopted. The mistakes which have already been made in this respect, are too palpable not to force themselves on our notice, and too serious not to make us anxious to avoid them. Allusion has been made to the importance of making permanent provision for the preservation of monuments and inclosures. On this point, too, we may take a lesson from observation. Reference has been made on a preceding page to that section in the charter which authorizes the Cemetery Corporation to receive gifts or be- quests for the purpose of applying the income thereof to the pres- ervation or renewal of any improvements which may be made on lots, or to the embellishment of the general Cemetery grounds. As a guide to those wishing to avail themselves of this provision, the following form of a bequest for insertion in Wills is appended. It may be altered so as to provide for improving any lot, or the general grounds, in any other manner consistent with the design and pin-poses of the Corpoi-ation. FORM OF BEQUEST FOR THE PRESERVATION OF IMPROVE- MENTS, ETC. I hereby give and bequeath to the Green-Wood Cemetery, the sum of dollars, To Have and to Hold the same to the said The Green-Wood Cemetery and their successors, upon trust, however, to keep the same invested, or to allow interest thereon at the rate of six per cent, per annum, and to apply the income thus arising therefrom, under the direction of the Board of Trus- tees, to the repair, preservation or renewal of any tomb, monu- ment or grave-stone, railing or other erection, or for planting and OF THE GREEN-WOOD CEMETERY. 17 cultivating trees, shrubs, flowers or plants upon, in or around Lot number in the Cemetery grounds of the said Corporation ; and to apply the surplus of such income, if any, to the improve- ment of the said Cemetery grounds. Provided, however, Tliat the said Trustees shall never be re- sponsible for their conduct in the discharge of such trust, except for good faith and such reasonable diligence as may be required of mere gratuitous agents; and provided further, that the said Trustees shall in no case be obliged to make any separate invest- ment of the sum so given, and that the average income, derived from all funds of the like nature belonging to the Corporation, shall be divided annually, and carried proportionally to the credit of each lot entitled thereto. jJntermente. RECEIVING TOMB is provided at the Cemetery, for the accommodation of those who intend to purchase lots. Twenty days from the time of inter- ment are allowed for making the selec- tion and removing the remains. When the improvement of a lot, or other cir- cumstances, may make it necessary, a reasonable extension of the time will be granted. Interments made in the winter season may remain until the weather in the spring will admit of selections being made. This Tomb is situated on Willow Avenue, near the entrance to the Cemetery, and is well adapted to the purpose for which it is built. The floor is level with the Avenue (the front being- entirely above ground), aflbrding convenient access at all times^ The interior is plastered with cement, and comprises eight apart- ments, each with doors, which are entered from a light and well ventilated passage-way. All of the apartments are fitted up with shelves, so as to render unnecessary the usual practice of heap- ing the coffins upon each other. At the time of deposit the coffins are all numbered, and a re- gistry made of them, with the view to distinguish them readily when finally removed, and thus prevent their being previously disturbed. In this, as in all arrangements pertaining to inter- ments, care is taken to avoid every thing that might be unpleasant to the feelings of relatives and friends, and to consult, as far as 2 18 RULES AND REGULATIONS practicable, their peculiar wisnes and views. No charge is made for the use of the tomb, except one dollar each time that it is opened. In cases of removal from the Cemetery, however, a charge will be made of ten dollars each for adults, and five dol- lars for children. RECEIVING TOMBS Are also provided as follows — interments in which will be at- tended to by any of the undertakers. One at the Carmine street Cemetery, opposite Varick street. One in the Baptist church in Sixteenth street, near the Eighth avenue. One in the grounds of St. Mark's church, Stuyvesant street, near the Second avenue. A charge of five dollars is made for each interment in these tombs, to be paid at the time of interment ; when removed, how- ever, to the Cemeter}", three dollars will be repaid by the Cem- etery Institution. PUBLIC LOTS. Single graves may be procured in Lots of three kinds. First. In Lots inclosed by a hedge, at ten dollars each, for adults, and five dollars each for children under ten years of age. Second. In Lots inclosed by an iron railing, at fifteen dollars each, for adults, and seven dollars and fifty cents for children under ten yeai's of age. Third. In Lots inclosed by a hedge, where any number of contiguous graves, not less than two, may be had at twelve dol- lars and fifty cents each, for adults, and one half that sum for children under ten years of age. In all these cases the usual charge for opening the graves is included in the prices named. In Lots of the first and second classes no monuments can be allowed excepting slabs laid upon the graves, or thick head- stones, not exceeding nine inches in height above the graves. Neither slabs nor head-stones may be more than two feet wide, for adults, and eighteen inches for children. In Lots of the third class, small monuments may be erected, sufficient space being provided for one monument to each plot of two graves. In all cases they must rest upon a stone foundation at least six feet deep. Graves purchased in any of the public lots, may be used for OF THE GREEN-WOOD CEMETERY. 19 other interments, by paying the usual cost of opening graves, as hereafter mentioned. If Lots should afterwards be purchased, the full cost of the graves vacated will be allowed, after deducting the expenses for originally opening the ground, and for the dis- interment of the remains. Tickets admitting a family at all pro- per times are given to all who purchase graves. TOMBS. Permanent interments may be procured in Tombs erected for the purpose, at fifteen dollars each. For children under twelve years of age, seven dollars and fifty cents ; under two years, five dollars. Kules commtiug Jutcrmcnts. HE duties of Superintendent of interments \^ are performed by the Keeper of the Grounds, who, with his family, resides at the Cemete- ry, and is required to be in attendance at every interment. 2. In each case of burial, a statement giv- ing the name, place of nativity, residence, with the number of the street, age, disease of the person to be interred, and also whether married or unmarried, must be handed to the Keeper, that an ac- curate registry may be made of the same. 3. Whenever interments are to be made, previous notice should be given at the office of the Cemetery, or to the Keeper of the Cemetery, on the day previous to the interment, if possible. Af- ter office hours, and on Sundays and holidays, notices, which must be written in all cases, may be left at Mr. Wm. Robertson's Livery Stable, in State street near Henry street, Brooklyn. The size of the coffin, on the top, or if in a case, the size of the case, should be particularly mentioned. And when interments are to be made in private lots, the location of the grave in the lot should also be stated. 4. All interments, except those in the Public Lots, will be sub- ject to the following charges, which, in all cases, must be paid at the office of the Cemetery, before the interment, or to the Keeper, at the time of interment. 30 RULES AND REGULATIONS OPENING OF GRAVES Adult graves, usual depth, six feet, " " seven feet, " " eight feet, " " nine feet, " " ten feet, Children's graves, under 10 j^ears, usual depth, six feet, " eight feet, " ten feet, Opening vaults under ground, " tombs in side hills and above ground, $3.00 3.25 3.50 4.00 4.50 $2.00 2.50 3.50 2.00 1.00 Note. — A suggestion to lot owners respecting interments in their plots, may here be of use. It frequently occurs that mes- sages are sent desiring that graves should be opened adjoining or near the graves of persons previously interred. Where graves are not designated by stones or otherwise, it will be impossible, in process of time, to comply with the directions thus given, un- less some system designating every grave be adopted. It is recommended, therefore, that each lot owner make a drawing of his plot on a blank page of his deed, and record on it every inter- ment, with name and date. Upon the occurrence of future inter- ments, let a transcript of this map, with the place marked where the grave is desired to be opened, be duly sent. In this way every difficulty will be obviated, and an interesting family record will be made and preserved for future generations. Funerals pass to the Cemetery over the South Ferry, and the Hamilton Avenue Ferry, at the following rates of ferriage, viz. : for carriages, twelve and a half cents, and one horse vehicles six and a quarter cents each way. At the Fulton Ferry, owing to the crowded state of the boats, the charge of twenty cents for ordinary carriages and ten cents for one horse vehicles, now applies to funerals. Over Hamilton Avenue Toll Bridge no charge is made. flulc6 romcruing bisitors. ISITORS will obtain as favorable a view of the Cemetery as can be had at one visit, and reach the entrance without difficulty, by keep- ing the main avenue, called The Tour, as indicated on the Map, and by the guide boards. A little familiarity, however, with the grounds, and references to the Map, will enable them to take other avenues, many of which pass through grounds of peculiar interest. Each proprietor of a lot will be entitled to a ticket of admission into the Cemetery with a vehicle, under the following regulations, the violation of which, or a loan of the ticket, involves a forfeit- ure of the privilege : 1. No vehicle, or person on foot, will be admitted unless ac- companied by a proprietor, or a member of his household, with his ticket, or unless presenting a special ticket of admission, obtained at the office of the Cemetery. 2. Children will not be admitted unless with their parents, or with persons having them specially in charge, nor will schools, and other large assemblages of persons, be admitted. 3. On Sundays and holidays the gates will be closed. Propri- etors of lots, however, and persons accompanying them, will be admitted by applying to the Porter, but on Sundays, only on foot. 1 ■ J 4. None but lot owners and their households will be admitted on horseback, and they only by obtaining a special ticket of ad- mission at the office of the Cemetery. 5. No vehicle will be allowed to pass through the grounds at a rate exceeding four miles the hour. 6. No persons having refreshments of any kind will be per- mitted to come within the grounds, nor will any smoking be allowed. 7. Persons having baskets or any like articles, and those hav- ing dogs, must leave them in charge of the Porter. 8. No horse may be left by the driver in the gi-ounds unfastened. 9. All persons are prohibited from picking any flowers, either wild or cultivated, or breaking any tree, shrub or plant. 10. All persons are prohibited from writing upon, defacing or 22 GENERAL REMARKS. injuring any monument, fence or other structure, in or belonging to the Cemetery. 11. Any person disturbing the quiet and good order of the place by noise, or other improper conduct, or who shall violate any of the foregoing rules, will be compelled instantly to leave the grounds. 12. The Porter is charged to prohibit the entrance of all im- proper persons, as well as of those, who, though presenting tickets, maj^ be known to have, at any time, wilfully transgressed the regulations of the Cemetery. 13. The gates are opened, for entrance, at sunrise, and are closed (except for egress) at sunset. 14. No money may be paid to the Porter, or any other person in the employ of the Institution, in reward for any personal ser- vice or attentions. g^° Visitors are reminded that these grounds are sacredly devoted to the interment of the dead, and that a strict observance of the decorum which should characterize such a place, will be required of all. 1^" The Keeper of the Grounds having been officially appointed (by his Honor the Mayor of Brooklyn) a special Marshal, is authorized and direct- ed to remove all who violate these ordinances, or commit trespasses. Tres- passers are also liable to criminal prosecution, and to a fine of fifty dollars, and the provisions and penalties of the law will be strictly enforced in all cases of wanton injury. General llcmavks. REEN-Wood Cemetery became a Char- tered Institution in 1838. Its location was the result of a careful and extensive survey of the entire vicinity of New York. The enterprise, after four years ^i^ of hard struggle, was at length placed ^^ upon a firm foundation, and the Cemetery ^ii^ was thrown open for interments in 1843. From that time, its history has been one of uninterrupted progress. The original enclosure of one hundred and seventy-five acres, has swelled by successive additions on the west and south to its present dimen- sions of two hundred and fifty acres. Broad, substantial roads, underlaid with stones, and bordered on the declivities with paved gutters, furnish at all seasons, a hard and pleasant carriage path of many miles, and conduct the visitor to every part of the Cemetery. Commodious and inviting foot-paths, still more nu- merous and extensive, wind round every hill, and explore each dell and shady nook. The work of grading the entire grounds, involving an immense amount of labor, is now all but completed, and has been prosecuted with a constant regard both to beauty GENERAL REMARKS. 23 and utility. Arrangements have just been made for forcing the water of Sylvan Lake into an elevated reservoir, whence it is conveyed by pipes to different parts of the ground, to be used in irrigation and for the supply of fountains. For the accommodation of the various superintendents, five commodious and picturesque cottages have been erected on the outer border of the Cemetery, contributing largely to its adornment as well as to its protection. In addition to the origi- nal entrance, with its small rustic lodge and bell-tower, a second has been opened on the southern side from Martense's Lane, and, still more recentl}^ a third, at the south-western angle of the enclosure. The latter, which is flanked on one side by a handsome lodge, and on the other, by offices and a command- ing tower, will henceforth constitute the Visitor's Gate. Two receiving tombs have been constructed on the edge of Arbor Water. One of these is very large, and has proved am- ple thus far for every requirement. Within the past year the entire surface of the Cemetery has been resurveyed with trigonometrical precision, and has been di- vided into rectangular sections, where practicable, of four hun- dred square feet each. By reference to the field-book in which these are all plotted, and where the occupied lots are duly en- tered, every foot of ground within the enclosure, may, hence- forth, be defined, or identified, with absolute certainty. As another result of this survey, a new and larger map has been constructed, and is ready for use. The visitor may now avail himself of a plain and perfectly reliable chart — on which he will find depicted not only the numerous and various inequalities of these grounds, but all their avenues and paths, clearly deli- neated and distinctly named. To promote still farther his con- venience, a Directory has been published, containing brief de- scriptions of every object likely to be of general interest, and illustrated by views of more than a hundred monuments. Bi- ographic notices of distinguished individuals, buried in Green- Wood, follow the Directory. The latter work is also published separately with the map included. It would be difficult to make anything like an accurate esti- mate of the vast amount which has been expended by indivi- dual proprietors on the four thousand six hundred lots already sold. Nearly three thousand plots have been surrounded with fences of iron. About one hundred and ninety tombs have been constructed — and their vaults, whether placed in side-hills or sunk in the ground, are generally of massive stone-work and durable masonry. The side-hill tombs are, in most cases, front- ed by architectural facades, various in form, and often beautiful. In addition to a great number of horizontal tablets and small head-stones, the Cemetery contains four hundred and eighty 24 GENERAL REMARKS. monuments of marble, of sienite, or of sandstone. These, as might be expected, vary greatly in magnitude and style, and range from forms quite simple and unexpensive, to others of great size and costly decoration. Thirteen thousand seven hun- dred interments have been made in the grounds. This statistic sketch, though, of necessity, imperfect and in- definite, afibrds ample demonsti'^tion of successful progress. In this success its founders and managers find, not only a reali- zation of the faith w^hich met and vanquished its early difficul- ties, but ample reward for all their subsequent efibrts and care. Whether considered in reference to its position of nearness and accessibility — the availableness of its entire surface for purposes of interment — the extent, the diversity, and the beauty of the grounds — its native and varied forest-growth — or the loveliness of its surrounding landscapes — Green-Wood compares, it is be- lieved, most favorably, with other rural Cemeteries. To these unsurpassed advantages derived from nature, must also be added all which has been accomplished by the unremitting care and toil of nine busy years. With the results of the experiment thus far, as exhibited in the improvements of the Cemetery and in its daily manage- ment, the community for whose benefit it was designed, seems to be more than satisfied. It may well be questioned, whether, anywhere else, or ever before, a place of burial has awakened an interest so deep and wide ; — an interest, evinced, not only by the rapidly increasing demand for lots and graves, but by the thronging thousands who daily visit the spot. Since the time, when amid alternations of hope and discou- ragement, the foundations of this institution were laid, a great change has taken place in the public sentiment of our commu- nity. It is not now necessary to urge the manifold evils of intra-mural interment, or to present and portray the immense superiority of rural sepulture ; for the former are no longer de- nied or doubted — and the latter has been practically demon- strated. The question may be looked upon as settled. Cities will soon cease to endure within their limits the offensive and pestilential danger. The prejudices of early association, and even the ties of love and kindred, cannot much longer recon- cile the minds of any to the crowded church-yard vault. Those very feelings so natural and so strong, which have long bound thousands to an objectionable practice, are now fast set- ting in another and better direction. Beneath the verdant and flowery sod — beneath green and waving foliage — amid tranquil shades, where Nature weeps in all her dews, and sighs in every breeze, and chants a requiem by each warbling bird — the dying generations of this great metropolis will henceforth be sepul- chred. GENERAL REMARKS. 25 Already, round our own Green-Wood cling the strong affec- tions of many thousand hearts. Here Ue the parent, the wife, the husband, the child, the lover, and the friend, once dearer to the surviving mourner than all else on earth. Hither often those survivors come, to weep and meditate unseen. And here by the ntiouldering relics of what was once so dear, do they hope, at last, to lie down themselves. Nor are these grounds destitute of that broader interest which attaches itself to the names and memories of those, who have made themselves illustrious by deeds of greatness, or lives of goodness. Here crumble the frail tenements in which Learning and Piety, Patriotism and Courage, once made their glorious home. If the brief expe- rience of the past has accomplished so much, what expectations of the future may not safely be indulged ? What tender associations, what kindling memories, what inspiring thoughts, what Christian hopes, will be awakened in the breasts of those, who at some coming and not distant day, shall explore this silent city of the dead ! Long may this fair enclosure be preserved, unmarred by mis- taken taste — undesecrated by rude hands. Let the worn and weary citizen still find here a momentary but soothing retreat from bustle and toil. Here may Sorrow and pensive Medita- tion ever find a home. And hither, let even the idle and the thoughtless come, to learn the lesson of their own mortality from the eloquent but unobtrusive teachings of the tomb. By order of the Trustees. J. A.

T is fifteen years since Mount Auburn, near Boston, was set apart as a place of sepulture. It was the first attempt in this country to meet a want which had long been felt. Hap- pily conceived, and well executed, it soon led the way to similar enterprises in other cities ; and noAV, there is scarcely a large town which has not in its neighborhood a rural cemetery. To regard this great movement as merely imi- tative, or fashionable, would be doing it injus- tice. The impropriety of making interments beneath and around churches, and in the festering burial-grounds of cities, was gen- erally acknowledged. Injurious to health, offensive to the senses, repulsive to the taste of a refined age, the practice has become a confessed nuisance, which all desired, but none knew how to abate. Long usage, invested capital, the aflections themselves, which make us wish to be laid by the side of those we have loved, — all combined to perpetuate the evil. The idea of a rural cemetery, sufiiciently remote to be beyond the I'ange of city improvements, yet so near as to be of con- venient access, seemed to reach at once all the necessities of the case. Large enough for the wants of many generations, it fur- nishes, in its guarded enclosure, full security against those viola- tions of the grave, by which the zeal of science or of gain has so often shocked public sentiment, and deeply injured the feelings 4 GREEN-WOOD ILLUSTRATED, of survivors. The vault, so unpleasant to many, might indeed be fvjund here, but it would no longer be the inevitable resting-place of the departed. Hither wounded Aftection could resort, attract- ing no notice, and dreading no intrusion. Here Sorrow could bring its graceful offerings, and Taste and Art join with Nature herself in adorning the last home of the loved and lost. To its silent solitudes the thoughtful would come to meditate ; — here the man of business and care would often reassure his hesitating vir- tue ; — and here, amid the thousand witnesses of mortality, and in all the soothing influences of the scene, the gay and reckless would read lessons of wisdom and piety. To the importance of this reform. New York, though some- what slow to move, could not but at length awake. If anywhere the evils alluded to were obvious and vast ; if in any city better accommodations were imperatively demanded, that city was em- phatically this great and growing metropolis. Again and again, in the progress of improvement, the fields of the dead had been broken up, to be covered with buildings, or converted into open squares. The tables of death showed that, already, nearly ten thousand human bodies must be annually interred ; while calcula- tion made it all but certain that, in half a century more, the ag- gregate would be told in millions. The island of New York presenting no secure, or at least no very eligible spot for a cemetery, attention was turned to a large unoccupied tract in Brooklyn, lying near Gowanus Bay. As if providentially designed and reserved for the very use to which it has been put, it would be difhcult to name a particular in which these grounds could have been better adapted to that use. Within sight of the thronged mart, and not three miles from its busiest haunts, Green-Wood enjoys, nevertheless, perfect seclusion. It is of ample extent, and tnere is hardly a square rod of it which may not be used for burial. Its numerous avenues and paths fur- nish a long and delightful drive, pi-esenting continually scenes of varied beauty. Now you pass over verdant and sunny lawns, — now through park-like groves, — and now by the side of a tangled, uupruned forest. At one moment, you are in the dell, with its still waters, its overhanging shade, and its sweet repose. At the next, you look out from the hill-top on the imperial city, with its queenly daughter — on the bay, so beautiful and life-like — doAvn into the quiet, rural hamlet — or beyond it, on the distant ocean. Green-Wood Cemetery was incorporated in 1838, but from various causes, did not commence successful operations till four years later. Its charter, with some amendments since made, em- braces every desirable provision for the security, permanence, and proper government of the Institution. The grounds comprise about one hundred and eighty-five acres. Arrangements for extending these limits are in progress, which will give, when completed, an area of two hundred and fifty GREEN-WOOD ILLUSTRATED. 5 acres.* Although now much larger than any other of our ceme- teries, it will scarcely, even in its contemplated increase, be pro portioned to the wants of the great and fast-augmenting popula- tion, which it is designed to accommodate. That population is already nearly a half-million : and if the past be prophetic of the future, it will take years only, or tens of years, to make New- York, in point of magnitude, what centuries and tens of centuries have made Paris and London. It is then but a wise forecast, thus liberally to provide for the sure and fast-coming future. The ground will all be wanted — it will be all used. Those already exist, who will behold it when it shall have become a vast city of the Dead, outnumbering that of the living by its side. Only four years have elapsed since Green-Wood was publicly opened for interments. Within that time, about fourteen hundred lots have been sold. The avenues, which wind gracefully over every part of its undulating surface, for an extent of more than ten miles, have been put into perfect order. With a judicious regard to both utility and effect, the natural conformation of the ground has, in many instances, been somewhat varied and im- proved. The trees, a prominent feature of the place, have gen- erally been preserved, though here and there removed, to open vistas through the copse, and make the grounds more available or more picturesque. Much work has been done in removing every unsightly object and obstruction, and in enriching and beautifying the yet unoccupied space. Of the purchased lots, a large propor- tion are neatly and substantially enclosed by iron paling ; Avhile monuments and sepulchral structures, already numerous, and many of them new and beautiful in design, consecrate and em- bellish the ground. In one respect Green-Wood differs, it is believed, from every similar Institution ; — a peculiarity which it owes, partly, to its ample accommodations and natural facilities, and still more, to judi- cious regulations adopted at the outset. Reference is made to the appropriation of large lots for the use of families and societies. Taking advantage of the natural inequalities, the summits and sides of the knolls have been enclosed in circles or ellipses, as their shape and position required. By the greater size, as well as by the form of these lots, and the introduction, in some cases, of other figures, much has been done to avoid the rigid sameness, which would result from a division of the whole surface into equal parallelograms. By giving wider spaces between the lots, it tends to prevent crowding and confusion, when funerals are numerously attended ; and though some space is lost to purposes of interment, it is secured for beauty and for a higher utility. But it is the provision which it makes for associated families, * These arrantjements are now completed. The precise quantity of ground now enclosed is, therefore, two hundred and fifty acres. 6 GREEN-WOOD ILLUSTRATED. and for religious and other communities, which gives to this ar- rangement its chief value. Not only maj' the single family enjoy the solace of feeling that they have secured for themselves one guarded and hallowed spot, hut its kindred and affiliated branches can make common cause, and the ties of friendship and con- sanguinity shall become stronger in life, when they shall not seem wholly severed at the grave. Again, those whose bond of union has been community of sen- timent, — who have been associated in labors of self-improvement and of benevolence, — who have listened so often in the same sanctuary to those lessons of faith and hope, which alone can take from death its sting, and from the grave its victory, — may here lie down, the rich and the poor together, as was the wont of old, in their own church-yard. Several religious societies have secured grounds in the Ceme- tery. One church has already enclosed a large and handsome mound, and consecrated it to its use with appropriate rites. Around its circumference are the lots of individual members, while an inner circle is reserved for the Pastor and for those of humbler means. It was a happy and a Christian thought, to pro- vide for their poorer brethren, when the toils of life shall be over, an unexpensive resting-place, as respectable and beautiful as their own. The example is well worthy of imitation. ®1)C Q;ntrance. " Enter this wild-wood, And view the haunts of Nature. The calm shade Shall bring a kindred calm, and the sweet breeze That makes the green leaves dance, shall waft a balm To thy sick heart." The rustic REEN-WOOD occupies a portion of the high ground which separates Gowanus Bay from the plains of Flatbush. The most agreeable, though not the shortest route, is the ancient road running from Brooklyn along the western shore of Long Island to Fort Hamilton. At the distance of two and a half miles from the South Ferry, a short, straight avenue leads from the main street of Gowanus to the gate, entrance is perfectly simple. On the left of the gate is a lodge, for the temporary accommodation of vi«itnr« o« THE ENTRANCE. 7 the right, and in the same style, is a small tower, with a bell to summon the porter. These unambitious structures will be found in good keeping with each other, and with the position they oc- cupy. They possess beauty of form, and of fitness likewise. Per- haj)s some, accustomed to more imposing entrances, may feel disappointed by the modest humility of this. But may not the taste at least be questioned, which makes the passage-way from one open space to another, through some lofty arch, or massive building? Can such a structure look well, with no support on either side of it but an ordinary fence ? Must it not always lack the beauty of adaptation to an end — the essential beauty of use- fulness ? And if it be, as most frequently, of Grecian or Egyptian model, is it not incongruous with the spirit and associations of a Christian cemetery ? Of the simple entrance temporarily made for these grounds, we may at least say, that here Art raises no false expectation, nor does it ofiend by unnatural contrasts. But, enter. If the artificial portal be deficient in dignity, not so will you find that of Nature. You are now in a vestibule of her own making. Its floor is a delicious greensward ; its walls are the steep hill- side ; lofty trees, with their leafy capitals, form its colonnade ; and its ceiling is the azure vault. Here, if alive to gentle in- fluenpes, you will pause a moment. You will shake from your feet the city's dust, and leave behind you its cares and follies. You are within the precinct of a great primeval temple, now for- ever set apart to pious uses. You have come, " Not to the domes where crumbling arch and column Attest the feebleness of mortal hand ; But to that fane most catholic and solemn, Which God hath planned." Explore its aisles and courts, — survey its beauties, — breathe its fresh air, — enjoy its quiet, — drink in its music, — and lay to heart its lessons of mortality, as well as its higher teachings of faith and love. ai)e lliccpcv'5 €oh%t A voice from ' the Green-Wood !' — a voice I and it said, ' Ye have chosen me out as a home for your dead, From the bustle of life ye have rendered me free ; My earth ye have hallow'd ; henceforth I shall be A garden of graves, where your loved ones shall rest !' " N the left of the avenue, and just beyond the enti'ance, stands the Keeper's Lodge. It is a cottage in the rustic, pointed style, with four gables. The sides are of plank uprights, battened with cedar poles, rough from the forest. Its whole exterior is un- smoothed and unpainted, yet it is symmet- rical and picturesque. Embowered in the grove, and already looking old enough to be coeval with the trees that shade it, its entire aspect is in harmo- ny with the place and its associations. In such a home, we some- times imagine, might have been found, long ago, near the church- yard of some quiet hamlet in our fatherland, one of those immor- tal sextons, whose occupation and quaint humor genius has loved to depict. Hard by, a tower of the same primitive order supports a bell, which is rung whenever a funeral train enters the grounds. This is a custom hallowed by its own appropriateness, as well as by long and general observance. In cities, the tolling of bells for the dead has, as a matter of necessity, been long discontinued. In country villages, however, the usage still prevails. The deep tones of the bell in Green-Wood, penetrating its dells, and echo- ing from its hills, are the only sounds that reach the mourner's ear, as he follows some dear object to the tomb. Often, we know, at such times, this unexpected but still familiar sound has touched the springs of memory and feeling, carrying back the mind to the homely scenes, but bright hours of childhood, — to the far-off, native vale, — to that knell from the village steeple, which once called the reminiscent to weep over some sweet flower, cut down in its morning beauty, — and to that humble grave-yard, where, bedewed with tears of veneration and love, a father and mother now sleep, side by side.

It occupies the north-eastern corner of the grounds. Its western and southern sides are steep. Towards the east it declines gently to the plain.

Toward the east the view is unobstructed and wide. From the base of the hill stretch far away the plains of Flatbush and New Utrecht. Below, a short mile distant, lies the little village of Flatbush, — an image of quiet life, — with its white dwellings and simple spire ; the Pavilion at Rockaway, some ten miles off, is clearly seen ; while the sea itself, with here and there a sail, terminates the view. The beauties of the eminence seem to be appreciated. Most of the lots on its summit have been already taken and improved. The objects delineated in the plate are tliose which present them- selves to one who, having kept along the Tour from the west, has 12 GREEN-WOOD ILLUSTRATED, just gained the summit of the hill. The monuments and the cot- tage at once arrest the eye, and the agreeable impression which they make is due, perhaps, not less to their harmonious grouping, than to their individual beauty. Of the three principal monu- ments here given, the material is the same, and the style is so far similar, as to require that they should be classed in one family. Yet are they specifically distinct — each having its peculiar merit, and forming a study by itself. The two which are seen in the foreground, were among the earliest of the erections in Green- Wood. The novelty of the designs — their graceful outline — and the high finish of the work, united with a height and magnitude which give dignity and effect — have drawn to them much atten- tion. They set, in this respect, a good example, and they have unquestionably had an influence on the taste and style of many subsequent improvements. They showed that there are beautiful and fitting forms for sepulchral memorials, besides the obelisk, or even the more graceful and classic pillar and sarcophagus. They evinced that a pleasing variety in details is consistent with the same scope of general design, and that in art, as elsewhere, genius is not confined to one idea, nor prone to make fac-similes of its own works. The fault of servile imitation in such matters has been far too common, and a tame monotony is its inevitable effect. The material employed is the compact, red sandstone from New Jersey, first brought into use in the erection of Trinity Church. The toughness of this stone, and the closeness of its grain, make it, in the plastic hand of the carver, almost if not quite equal to the best marble. No other stone furnished by our quarries, and of equal or even similar facility under the tool, can resist, it is believed, so well, the defacing and destructive effects of our humid and frosty atmosphere, and its ever-changing tem- perature. If in its youth the free-stone structure be less brilliant and attractive than that of marble, it certainly bears its age better. Its surface is less liable to accretions and stains ; and those which it does incur, instead of appearing like streaks and patches of dirt, sullying the lustre of that which should be clean and bright, are but time-honored hues and shades, making it more beautiful. These two lots occupy a somewhat salient angle formed by the road, and are, in form, spherical triangles. The coping, which supports a low, neat paling, and the posts at the corners, are of the same stone with the principal structures. The form and finish of these minor parts, and even the grading and shaping of the ground, show that minute attention to particulars which is so essential to harmony and fulness of effect. The monument on the left* is a tripod in the Roman style, sup- ported on the corners by richly carved, antique trusses, and rest- * Erected by Mr. John Cleaveland.

The mouldings of its cornice are simple, but eftective, and it is surmounted by a well-propor- tioned urn. Its height is about fourteen feet. On one of the tablets is recorded the death of a young mother, and that of an only and infant child, which occurred not long be- fore her own. To this simple statement are appended these words from II. Kings, iv, 26: — "Is it well with thee? Is it well with the child? And she answered. It is well." The right-hand monument* rests upon a square base, with prominent mouldings. The die diminishes upward by a gentle curve ; its angles are enriched by a graceful scolloped leaf, and its cornice is encircled by carved mouldings. Above this, the form changes from square to circular, and a fine urn completes the design. On the northern side, standing out in strong relief, is a female bust. This face, beautifully executed by Mancini, shows admira- bly the capacities of the stone for expressive sculpture ; and though not intended as a likeness, it calls strongly up the image of that young wife, who, taken from life in the midst of youth, and health, and hope, now rests beneath.

" Thou'rt happy now, for thou hast past The cold, dark journey of the grave ; And in the land of light at last, Hast join'd the good, the fair, the brave." ©Kg=ir©KI ©[? [E)@-IK][5JJB!a-Eifl[l» BY MRS. C. M. SAWYER. Do-HUM-ME, as her monument briefly sets forth, was the daughter of a chieftain of the Sacs, and the wife of a young war- chief of the lowas. But from the obscurity which always, to a certain extent, rests over the history of individuals of savage nations, her biography, with all the aids which have been obtained from those who knew her, must necessarily be but a meager outline. Of her childhood little is known, save that its one great be- reavement, the death of her mother, left her at the early age of seven years, cut off" from all that watchful care, those tender en- dearments, which make childhood so happy, and which none but a mother knows so well how to render. But He who seeth the wants of the lowliest of his children, knoweth also how to provide for them ; and He awoke in the breast of the remaining parent of Do-hura-me, a strange, subduing tenderness, Avhich to the Indian warrior is all unwonted ; and the heart of the stern old chief, whose necklace numbered more scalplocks than that of any other of his tribe, grew soft as a woman's when he looked upon his INDIAN MOUND. 15 motherless child, until even the hunting-path and the council-fire were forgotten for her sake. No toil was too exhausting, no sac- rifice too great to be endured for her. Thus, under the eye of paternal watchfulness, Do-hum-me, si- lently as the flowers of her own bright prairies, sprang up to womanhood. Possessing in an uncommon degree those traits of beauty most prized by her race — ever gentle and good-humored — she was the idol of her father, and the favorite of her tribe. Mo- notonous and uneventful her life must necessarily have been until her eighteenth year, when a new, and, as it eventuated, fatal era, occurred in her existence. Prompted partly by a desire of adjusting some land difiiculties at Washington, partly by a curiosity to behold the great cities of the white men, and partly by the artful and interested representa- tions of the designing and needy, a delegation of the Sacs and lowas came to the determination of visiting our Atlantic shores. Do-hum-me, under her father's care, with two other females much older than herself, one of whom was a niece of the celebrated Black Hawk, accompanied them. During their journey from the Far West, an affection sprang up between the youthful subject of this sketch and a young chief of the lowas, which soon ripened into an intimacy ending in mar- riage. The interesting ceremony which united them was per- formed at Paterson, according to their own rites, and in the pres- ence of their tribe, and a number of white persons who had be- come interested by the beauty and amiable deportment of the youthful couple. Soon after their marriage they arrived in New York, where they attracted great attention, not less by their beauty and gracefulness, than by their undisguised affection for one another. They were never separated ; — proud of each other, loving and happy, the animated smile of the bridegroom, and the gay, musical laugh of the bride, were a joy to all beholders. Gifts Avere showered upon them from all qviarters, and the jewelry of Do-hum-me might have been coveted by many a fairer-hued bride. But a dark cloud arose on the horizon of their wedded bliss, and their marriage-torch went suddenly out in darkness. Unac- customed alike to the luxuries of civilized life, which by well- meaning but misjudging friends were too lavishly heaped upon them, and the whirl and bustle by which they were continually surrounded, Do-hum-me suddenly fell a victim to her new and false position. A violent cold, contracted one stormy evening to which they were exposed, superadded to indisposition produced by the causes already alluded to, at once assumed the alarming character of inflammation ; congestion ensued, and in a few brief hours, all was over. Thus died Do-hum-me, a stranger, and in a strange land. Far away from all familiar things and places, in a little more than 16 GREEN-WOOD ILLUSTRATED. four weeks from her bridal, she passed to her burial. Almost de- serted in her death, for the two females who had accompanied her from her home had already found a grave, the one dying in a hos- pital of Philadelphia, the other but three weeks before in New York, — and the thousands who had come around them to gaze and wonder, at the rumor of a contagious disease having broken out among the hapless company, had without exception taken flight,— one only of her own sex, whose sympathies were stronger than all fear, stood by her side, to administer to her wants, to soothe her last moments, and to close her eyes when all was over. An attempt to describe this last sad scene would be utterly fu- tile. The helpless bewilderment — the agony, almost despair, of the doting father and husband — their piteous wails and sobs — the irrepressible tears which, unwiped, flowed down their dusky cheeks, altogether formed a picture which can never be forgotten, and which forever disproves the oft-told tale of the Indian's cold- ness and stoicism. In the same gay ornaments with which, with a girlish pride, Do-hum-me had adorned herself for her bridal, she was again decked for the grave ; and it was with no other feeling than that of reverence and grief, that the hand of civilization aided that of the savage, in braiding the dark locks, and circling the neck of the bride of death with the sparkling chain and gay and flashing gem. She was followed to her last resting-place by those dearest to her in life, as well as by that friend whom Providence directed to her bedside in the last liitter hour of dissolution. There, in a spot aptly chosen for the grave of the forest girl, she reposes in the last, dreamless slumber. She hears not the ocean-winds that sigh around her green-i'oofed dwelling ; the footsteps of the fre- quent pilgrim disturb her not ; — for, let us believe that, according to her own simple faith, her spirit is lovingly, patiently waiting, in some far-off but happy sphere, till those she so loved on earth shall join her, never more to be separated.

WO of the plates in this number are repre sentations of tombs* situated near the sum- mit of Bay-grove Hill. The material, the elaborate execution, and more than all, the commanding position of these structures make them particularly prominent and at- tractive. The beautiful eminence which they occupy is not far from the entrance. The view from this spot will detain the visitor a moment. An open- ing on his left reveals to him the lower bay, Staten Island, and the Narrows. Another, in front, reaches across the harbor, and is bounded by the masts, spires, and dwellings of New York and Brooklyn. The little dell which he has just passed, with its shady water, is immediately below. Here, Avith a city of the living before him, and another of the dead growing up around, the charm of contrast is felt in its power. Here are presented, as it were, side by side, art and nature — bustle and repose — life and death ; while each quiet sail, moving but noiseless, seems a fit me- dium of communication between them.

They were laid here in the expectation that they would soon find a final resting-place in some commanding portion of the ground, and beneath a monu- ment worthy of his great name, and of the city and common- wealth which owe so much to him. But this tribute to the mem- ory and services of her most distinguished benefactor, New York * Erected by F. W. Hurd, M.D., and the family of the late Jordan Coles. BAY-GROVE HILL. 19 has yet to pay. A beginning, indeed, has been effected by the proffer of a few liberal contributions, but no general and earnest call has yet been made. To such a call, this great and wealthy community will doubtless respond with its wonted liberality. As this duty, which has too long remained unfulfilled, may soon be urged anew, a brief glance at the services and character of Clinton may serve to remind some, and to inform others, of his pre-eminent claims to such commemoration. De Witt Clinton was born 1769, at Little Britain, a small town in the pastoral valley of the Walkill. His grandfather, Charles Clinton, though of English descent, came to this country from Ireland, in 1729. At the capture of Fort Frontenac, dur- ing the French and Indian war, he was at the head of a regiment, while two of his sons, James, the father of De Witt, and George, afterward Governor of New York, and Vice-president of the United States, held subordinate commands. In the war of Inde- pendence, James Clinton was a genei-al officer, and again did his country service. Thus honored in his origin and connections, De Witt gave early promise of eminence on his own account. He was one of the first class graduated at Columbia College, after it was re- opened subsequently to the Revolution. He studied law with the celebrated Samuel Jones, and in due course was admitted to the bar. At this conjuncture, his uncle, George Clinton, then Governor of New York, proposed to him to become his private secretary. Yielding his golden prospects in the law, to conside- rations of duty and gratitude, he accepted the place, and thus plunged at once into the restless sea of political life. Adopting, from conviction, the anti-federal opinions of his uncle, he de- fended them as a matter of duty ; and it is highly creditable to his power as a writer, that he was thought by multitudes to main- tain his ground, although his antagonists were the immortal authors of the "Federalist." From 1797 to 1801, he was a member of the State legislature, and the acknowledged leader of his party. He was opposed, generally, to the national adminis- tration of that period, but not with a bitter or undiscriminating hostility. In 1801, being only thirty-two years old, he was elected senator of the United States. In this august body, he at once took high rank as a statesman and debater. In 1803 he was appointed mayor of New York, and, with the exception of two years, continued to hold that responsible post until 1815. By virtue of this office, as then constituted, he was the head of the city police, chief judge of the criminal court and common- pleas, and chairman of the board of health, with a large patronage at his sole disposal. In the discharge of these various and oner- ous duties, his course seems to have been uniformly firm, and able, and honest. During a large portion of the same period, he was also a member of the New York Legislature. Though 20 GREEN-WOOD ILLUSTRATED. sharing largely in the political conflicts of those exciting times, he gave to objects of public and lasting utility his great personal and official influence. Statesmanship was, with him, no narrow, selfish policy, look- ing only to the advancement of individual interests, or the exten- sion and consolidation of party power. To every scheme of benevolence and improvement, well intended and well devised, he lent his willing aid. The weather-beaten old sailor, resting at last in his "Snug Harbor," with the name of Randall may gratefully join that of Clinton, as having made secure to him his comfortable home. The Bloomingdale Asylum for the Insane was founded by grants, which Clinton proposed and carried. The first establishment in New York for the encouragement of the fine arts, obtained its charter through his agency, and was ever after an object of his care. Many instances of his benevo- lence and public spirit are of necessity omitted ; but one great benefaction, belonging to this period of his life, must not be passed by. The Free School Society, which became the seminal principle and the nucleus of that great system of public instruc- tion by which the State now gives an education to her million of children, was devised by De Witt Clinton, By his exertions a charter was obtained — private subscriptions were secured — the city corporation was enlisted in its favor — and finally, a liberal grant was made by the State. How humble the beginning — how magnificent the result ! It may well be doubted whether even the far-reaching mind which conceived the plan, ever an- ticipated the mighty issue of this generous endeavor to provide free schools for the neglected children of New York. To every wise and well-meant effort for human improvement, this example is a perpetual voice of cheering and promise. Though enough has been adduced in even these brief details, to show that De Witt Clinton might well rank among the great and good, it is not on these grounds that his renown chiefly rests. His attention seems to have been first turned to the subject of improving the internal communications of New York in 1809. Being at that time the acknowledged leader of the democi-atic party in the State Senate, he was invited by Judge Piatt, who held the same position on the federal side, to co-operate in pro- curing the appointment of a commission for examining and sur- veying the country between the Hudson and Lake Erie, with reference to uniting these waters by a canal. He assented, and these rival aspirants — would that such spectacle might be oftener seen ! — rising above the selfishness and jealousies of parties, joined heart and hand in this great undertaking. In the follow- ing summer, as one of the commissioners, he examined the entire route, and from that time, never doubted the importance or feasi- bility of the work. In 1812, the prospects of the enterprise, which up to that time had been highly auspicious, were inter- DE WITT CLINTON. 21 Tupted by the commencement of hostilities with England. In 1815 the storm of war had passed away, but the position of par- ties and of individuals was, in many instances, greatly altered. The fluctuating tide of popular favor, on whose topmost wave Clinton had so long ridden, had now subsided, leaving him stranded on the shore. But though out of office — though dis- carded by the party which he had served and led — he possessed still that better influence, which high talent, well and steadily devoted to the public good, never fails to acquire. This soon became manifest. He drew up a memorial, exhibiting the prac- ticability and usefulness of the proposed canal ; the expediency of constructing it, though it should yield no revenue ; the proba- ble cost, and the unquestionable ability of the State to meet it. Its lucid statements and convincing argument carried conviction everywhere. Its presentation to the Legislature was soon fol- lowed by the act of 17th April, 1816, " to provide for the im- provement of the internal navigation of the State," He was appointed one of the five commissioners constituted by this act, and entered forthwith upon the work. The star of Clinton was clearly again in the ascendant. The office of governor having become vacant in 1817, he was raised to the chair by a vote nearly unanimous. The change was won- derful. Old party lines could no longer be found. The golden age had returned. Such was the pleasing dream of many who beheld the treacherous calm. But not then, assuredly, had par- ties in New York acquired the graceful art. ' To rise with dignity, with temper fall." The sweet harmony of consenting voices, which had so lately charmed all ears, was soon changed to harsh discord. Discon- tents arose. New combinations of party were formed. Gover- nor Clinton and his measures were strongly opposed. Even the canal was not spared. Faction, in its frothy violence, could find for this most magnificent of human enterprises, no worthier designation than that of " the big ditch." From this acrimonious contest Clinton came out victorious, but with a diminished majority. His second term of office was one protracted battle. A majority of the Legislature was un- friendly. His political opponents were able, as well as numerous and active. Weary, at length, of the unprofitable struggle and thankless honor, he declined a third trial, and retired to private life. During all these fluctuations of the political world, the canal, that great object of his care and ambition, went steadily forward. His able and unpaid services as senior commissioner had been devoted to the work through its whole progress. Yet in 1824, when it was nearly completed — when it had already become a 23 GREEN-WOOD ILLUSTRATED. source of --evenue to the State, and of unexampled prosperity to the regions which it traversed, and those which it connected, CUnton, to whom this great success was almost wholly due, was removed by a legislative vote from his place as canal commis- sioner. No want of capacity or fidelity was, or could be alleged. Not even a pretext was assigned. It was the sovereign act of politicians in power, mistaking, for the moment, the character and sentiments of a great people. No leading-strings of party could drag them to approve what seemed a manifest injustice. The indignation was general. Clinton was immediately put in nomination for the chief magistracy ; and his election by an over- whelming majority, assured him that gratitude and honor yet survived. In October, 1826, the final completion of the Erie canal was celebrated with great rejoicings. It is easier to conceive than to describe the emotions which must have swelled the heart of Clin- ton, during that long, triumphal voyage from Bufialo to New York, when the virgin Nereid of our great inland seas was con- ducted to her bridal with the Ocean-king. It was the consum- mation of that enterprise to which, for more than fourteen years he had consecrated his time and strength, his pen and voice. To effect it, he had endured not only anxiety and fatigue, but even obloquy and proscription. Now, with evidence so ample that, at last, those exertions were widely and deeply appreciated, the measure of his actual fame might well fill even his great ambi- tion. And still he must have known that the benefits of the canal with which his name was now inseparably twined, had only begun to be felt. Rich as was the freight which it already wafted to the sea, its commerce was as yet but the mountain rivulet, which, swelled at length by a thousand tributaries, would roll on, a mighty tide, and freshen the Atlantic with its Amazon of waters. His useful career was now approaching its close. Again elected to the chief magistracy, he entered on his last term of office in 1827. In the autumn of that year his health began to fail. His disease did not, however, prevent him from attending to his of- ficial and daily duties, down to the very hour of his departure, which occurred suddenly, February 15, 1828. No palsied ener- gies, no streams of dotage, marked the closing scene. He was still high in station and respect ; — still cheered by the gratitude and admiratior of his countrymen ; — full as ever of benevolent and sagacious plans and deeds — when the summons came. From that height of undiminished usefulness of influence and fame, he dropped into the tomb. Twenty years have passed since Clinton died. Time, magic healer ! has salved the wounds of political strife, and the sober light of historic truth, neither dimmed nor deflected by the mists of contemporary prejudice, shines at length upon his life and character. Interested partisans have ceased to lavish on his name DE WITT CLINTON. 83 praises not deserved, and disappointed enemies no longer de- nounce it. That his abilities were of a high order, was perhaps never questioned. The well-contested fields of party strife, — the sta- tions of honorable and laborious responsibility which he adorned and dignified, — the enterprises of broad and permanent usefulness which he achieved, establish the point. There have been ordinary men of popular and plausible talents, who have gained a short- lived reputation for greatness. Such was the case with some of Clinton's successful competitors for power and place. What are they now ? Hardly can we say " stat nominis umbra !" But Clin- ton was of another stamp. His ideas were vast, and his works, commensurate with the conceptions in which they originated, retain the impress of a master-hand. His renown, accordingly, was no ephemeral growth. The tree, deep-rooted and wide-branching, while it has expanded and grown fairer in the air and sunshine, has also been tested and strengthened by the very blasts that have shaken it. His mind was distinguished by its massive strength, rather than by variety or flexibility of power. It could grasp strongly subjects of high import and wide extent, retaining and revolving them, until it had mastered their minutest details. The cast of his intellect was decidedly practical. His imagination, if not naturally feeble, had lost its activity under early and habitual restraint. All the more, perhaps, was his judgment cool and dis- criminating. His untiring industry enabled him to bring to his investigations all that learning could contribute, while his power to analyze and recombine, helped him to turn those treasures to the most effective account. Hence the wisdom of his plans, and his almost prophetic anticipation of results. Hence he had none of the dreams of the mere visionary, nor the dazzling schemes of an enthusiast. How different might have been the issue of the canal enterprise in New York, had not the wild notions and spe- cious eloquence of Governeur Morris been counteracted by the clear head, and strong good sense of De Witt Clinton! That vast project, which, under favorable auspices, became the boast and wonder of the age, might have perished, a still-born folly, or, if attempted, could have ended only in utter failure. The wisdom which was so conspicuous in selecting the points to be connected, and the region to be traversed by the proposed canal, as well as in the plan and prosecution of the work, was even more signally manifest in that financial basis upon which, through the same influence, it was made to rest. To the exer- tions of Clinton, New York owes it, that, adopting the only hon- est and safe course in such matters, she has retained her credit as well as prosperity, — while other States, following the example of her improvements, but trusting to the income from their works, 24 , GREEN-WOOD ILLUSTRATED. for the liquidation of their debts, have involved themselves in per- plexing and discreditable embarrassment. Though eminent as a statesman, — though unequalled in that ability which could devise and execute works of public and lasting benefit, — his merit was not confined to these departments. He had a strong predilection for scientific pursuits, and found time to investigate successfully some of the branches of natural history. His contributions on these subjects were made public, and still bear testimony to his zeal and assiduity. Of his talents as a writer, evidence remains not only in numerous state-papers, but in published addresses, delivered on litei'ary and civil occasions. The style of his oratory seems to have partaken of the general character of his mind. He owed something to personal appear- ance, much to his weight of character, still more to the substan- tial merits of his discourse. His elocution, if not particularly graceful, was impressive and dignified. Clinton's success as a political man, must be ascribed to higher merits than aftability of manners, or the winning arts of the dema- gogue. In his public communications, and in social intercourse, where not closely intimate, his habits were stately and reserved. He had never studied in the school of modern non-committalism, nor would he seek, by an insinuating address, or by chicane and intrigue, the influence which argument and right had failed to gain. In person he was tall and well-proportioned, while on his Roman brow and lip, as of one born to command, sat the firm- ness of self-possession, and the dignity of conscious power. But it is when we contemplate Clinton as a man, faithful and true in every domestic and social relation ; — as a patriot, self- sacrificing and devoted ; — as a statesman and judge, virtuous and incorruptible ; — as a benefactor to his own and coming times, rarely surpassed, that his name shines most brightly, and will be longest remembered. He was not, indeed, faultless. We recall with regret that devotion to party, which, on the one hand, blinded him to the faults of his political friends, and on the other, made him sometimes unjust and uncharitable toward his opponents. Through his whole course we discern too much, perhaps, of that "sin, by which fell the angels." But we must not forget the trying character of those times. The tides of party violence ran high. Besides that great strife which agitated the whole country, and shook the Union to its centre, New York, herself " imperium in imperio," was never without some fierce struggle of her own. Like Jupiter with his moons, she formed an entire, though subordinate planetary sys- tem, and her intestine perturbations were neither few nor small. To the political pilots of those stormy years let us forgive some- thing, if their barks occasionally drifted with the currents which they undertook to stem. DE WITT CLINTON. 25 Clinton's hostility as a politician, however severe, was not per- sonal. To this point we have the testimony of one of his most illustrious antagonists. When the news of his decease reached Washington, the New York delegation in Congress held a meet- ing, to express their sense of the public loss. Mr. Van Buren, then of the senate, offered the resolutions, and paid the following tribute to his worth — a tribute which must have been as affecting as it is just and beautiful. " I can," said Mr. V. B., " say nothing of the deceased that is not familiar to you all. To all he was personally known, and to many of us intimately and familiarly from our earliest infancy. The high order of his talents, the untiring zeal and great success with which those talents have, through a series of years, been de- voted to the prosecution of plans of great public utility, are also known to you all, and by all, I am satisfied, duly appreciated. The subject can derive no additional interest or importance from any eulogy of mine. All other considerations out of view, the single fact that the greatest public improvement of the age in which we live, was commenced under the guidance of his coun- sels, and splendidly accomplished under his immediate auspices, is of itself sufficient to fill the ambition of any man, and to give glory to any name. But, as has been justly said, his life, and character, and conduct, have become the property of the histori- an ; and there is no reason to doubt that history will do him jus- tice. The triumph of his talents and patriotism, cannot fail to be- come monuments of high and enduring fame. We cannot indeed but remember, that in our public career, collisions of opinion and action, at once extensive, earnest, and enduring, have arisen be- tween the deceased and many of us. For myself, sir, it gives me a deep-felt though melancholy satisfaction to know, and m.ore so, to be conscious, that the deceased also felt and acknowledged, that our political differences had been wholly free from that most ven- omous and corroding of all poisons, personal hatred. " But in other respects, it is now immaterial what was the char- acter of those collisions. They have been turned to nothing, and less than nothing, by the event we deplore ; and I doubt not that we shall, with one voice and one heart, yield to his memory the well-deserved tribute of our respect for his name, and our warm- est gratitude for his great and signal services. For myself, sir, so strong, so sincere, and so engrossing is that feeling, that I, who while he lived, never, no, never envied him anything, now that he is fallen, am greatly tempted to envy him his grave, with its honors." But there is other and better extenuation for the errors into which the heat of political conflict sometimes hurried this great man. Though a partisan of the warmest temperament, his devo- tion to party objects was never selfish. Whatever else may be said, he was not of that class of narrow men, " Who to party give up what was meant for mankind." S6 GREEN-WOOD ILLUSTRATED. To his praise be it remembered, that personal aggrandizement was not the ruling motive of his life. Though his official posi- tion gave him multiplied opportunities to enrich himself and his family, he resolutely scorned them all, and died, as he lived, a rare example of Aristidean virtue. He contended earnestly for power, but it was the power to do good. He was ambitious, but it was ambition in its brightest phase, and scarcely can we find it in our hearts to chide the aspiring vice, which was so noble in pur- pose, and so beneficent in act. Envy has sometimes denied the paramount merit of Clinton in the great enterprise of the Erie Canal. But the question is not, whether he first made the suggestion of a navigable communica- tion between the lakes and the Hudson. It is a fact of historic certainty, that the adoption, the prosecution, and the accomplish- ment of that gigantic undertaking, were owing mainly to his con- vincing statements, his vast influence, and indomitable perseve- rance. What other man was there then, or has there been since, who would have accomplished the same ? Who, that has watch- ed the course of events in New York, and the fluctuations of party legislation on this very subject, the canal, but may well question, whether, without the agency just named, it would to this day have been begun ? To Clinton, then, as an honored in- strument in higher hands, be the praise awarded ! Citizens of this imperial State, whose numerical power the canal has doubled, and whose wealth it has augmented in a ratio that defies estima- tion, cherish and perpetuate his name ! You enjoy the rich fruits which his foresight anticipated, and his toils secui-ed. Let him rest no longer in an undistinguished grave. True, a name like Clinton's cannot die ! It is written on that long, deep line with which he channeled the broad bosom of his native State ; — it is heard at every watery stair, as the floating burden sinks or rises with the gushing stream ; — it is borne on each of the thou- sand boats that make the long, inland voyage ; — and it shines, en- twined with Fulton's on all the steam-towed fleets of barges, which sweep in almost continuous train, the surface of the Hud- son. But these are the traces of his own hand. It is your duty and privilege to record it too. Engrave it, then, in ever-during stone. Embody your sense of his merits in the massive pile. From the loftiest height of beautiful Green-Wood let the struc- ture rise, a beacon at once to the city and the sea. Severe in beauty, and grand in proportions, it should be emblematical of the man and of his works. Such a monument will be a perpetual remembrancer of Clinton's name, and of his inappreciable servi- ces ; and will stand for ages, the fit expression of your gratitude and of his glory. ©akm Sluff. " A voice within us speaks that startling word ' Man, thou shalt never die !' Celestial voices Hymn it unto our souls : according harps, By angel fingers touched, when the mild stars Of morning sang together, sound forth still The song of our great immortality : Thick clustering orbs, and this our fair domaiM, The tall, dark mountains, and the deep-toned seas, Join in this solemn, universal song.

It is composed of the same beautiful brown stone as those on Ocean Hill, already de- scribed. Its style also is similar, although somewhat more pyramidal, from the greater breadth of base. The corners of the die, and the roof are enriched, and the latter is sur- mounted by an urn. On the right is seen a tomb-front, of the same material. The detail is Roman, and the proportions are massive. A strong pier at each of the front corners, terminates in an urn of bold outline. Both of these structures present an aspect of great solidity, and a promise of permanence, which will doubtless be made good. This rare but most important character they derive partly from form and material, and partly from the perfection of the masonry * Erected by Mr. C. S.

HE monument on Fern Hill* is an obelisk ^ of unique character. The outline diminish- es from the base upward, in successive sta- ges of slight curvation, and the figure fur- nishes an agreeable variety in this very popu- lar class of sepulchral decorations. The stone is a hard and very dark sienitic or trap rock from Staten Island ; it is polished throughout, and its entire aspect is impres- sive and becoming. The workmanship of this structure is admi- rable. As in the old Athenian masonry, the separate stones are so nicely adjusted, that they require no intervening cement. This obelisk occupies the centre of a large circular lot, and its position is commanding and beautiful. * Erected by Mr. Samuel Bowne.

From its wood-crowned summit one looks out upon smooth lawns of sunny brightness. To the visitor approaching it from the east by the principal avenue, the view cannot fail to be pleasing. The warm cleared grounds are hedged in by the surrounding copse-wood, while here and there a vista invitingly opens, — and one, in partic- ular, beautifully terminates in the waters of the Bay.

I now shall be peopled from life's busy sphere ; Ye may roam, but the end of your journey is here. I shall call ! I shall call ! and the many will come From the heart of your crowds to so peaceful a home ; The great and the good, and the young and the old, In death's dreamless slumbers, my mansions will hold." HE plate presents one of those views of quiet \\^ beauty which are so numerous in the grounds of this cemetery. The spectator stands among the trees on the sharp, western side of Ocean Hill. A glade of considerable ex- tent is spread out before him. Its waving border is darkly fringed with foliage, — while its gentle declivities of various inclination lie warm and bright in the broad eye of day. The Tour, winding round in serpentine length and slowness, is lost finally in the distant copse. The whole character of the landscape accords perfectly with the spirit of the place. Here are rural beauty and repose. No human dwelling is within view, if we except the still mansions of the dead. Neither sight nor sound is here to remind us of the noisy living world. Not unfrequently the long funereal train, moving on with the slow pace of wo, and with phantom-like stillness, gives the picture a melancholy but finishing touch. !^^^0 A mansion ! rear'd with cost and care, Of quaint device and aspect fair. Its walls in rocky strength secure, Its massive portal fast and sure ; And, all intrusion to foreclose, Reclining near in grim repose, Two guards canine forever wait, Cerberean warders of the gate. Hold fast, ye stones, your treasured clay, Though wasting ages roll away; Cling closely round the honor'd trust, Nor yield one particle of dust ! Yet ye shall hear a voice at last, Quaking beneath a clarion-blast ! Your dead shall hear that voice, and rise, And seek, on angel-wings, the skies ! MONUMENTAL tomb in the early English style of Gothic architecture.* The material is the New Jersey sand- stone, from the quarry at Little Falls. Its roof rests upon an arch, and is cover- ed with stone tiles, cut and laid diamond- wise. The front is gabled, and a quatre- foil in relief, on the stone door, bears the date of erection. The apex of the gable is enriched by a bold finial. At each corner is a supporting buttress, — and the sides are still fur- ther sustained by walls that keep up the earth. This tomb occupies a commanding position in the Tour, being on the high bluff over Sylvan Lake. This is one of the earliest tomb-fronts, of decided architectural character, erected on the grounds. It has attracted particular notice, as a new style for such erections. A blending of strength with beauty — an air of solemnity and repose — pervade the structure, and render it im pressive. * Erected by Mr. George W. Browne. i)i0ta §ill. " Yet not to thine eternal resting-place Shalt thou retire alone ; nor couldst thou wish Couch more magnificent." 1ST A HILL is a gentle elevation, situated on the Tour, in the immediate vicinity of Cedar Grove. A portion of this hill is enclosed by an iron paling, with a handsome gateway opening to the east. The spacious enclosure is slightly elliptical. This beautiful spot has been secured and set apart for burial purposes, by the Church of the Saviour, We have already had occasion to allude to this wise and Christian appropriation. Is it not wise to bind more closely together, by the solemn and tender associa- tions of the grave, those who meet and worship in the same sanc- tuary ? And is not that a heaven-born charity, which not only remembers the poor while living, but, with delicate regard to the tenderest feelings of our nature, provides for them such sepul- ture ? Praise to those who designed and who have accomplished the work ! One or two other congregations own lots in Green-Wood, but no other one has appropriated and enclosed a tract for common occupancy. The Cemetery still contains spots admirably adapted to such a use. Will not some, will not many of the two hundred churches, which are destined to make Green-Wood their place of burial, take care to secure these choice positions, before they shall be pre-occupied by individual proprietors ? That every church should have its own burying-ground, is consonant as well to nat- ural iitness and religious propriety, as to long experience. The dead may indeed no longer rest under or around the sacred walls which were so dear to them in life. Yet the place of sepulture may be hallowed by solemn assembly and religious rite. As pas- tor and people — the young and the old — the rich and the poor, cluster together there, how precious, how holy will the place be- come ? What more can it need to consecrate and endear it, than its own simple charms, associated as they will then be with so many treasures of the heart, — so many tender memories and con- solatory hopes ? The enclosure on Vista Hill was consecrated in the presence of a large assembly, on the 18th September, 1845. A mild VISTA HILL. 33 autumnal day gave additional beauty and interest to the scene, and to the services. From the address delivered on this occasion by the pastor. Rev. Mr. Farley, we have been permitted to make the following extracts : — " And I rejoice especially that it is here, — here, among these verdant groves, and lawns, and solemn shades. How surprising it seems, that in some of the older parts of our country, among a people by no means wanting in the warm and deep atiections of our nature, we can find so many instances where ' the bleak hill- side,' or ' bare common, without shrub or tree,' is the spot se- lected as the burial-place of the dead ! — nay, more : where no care is given to replacing the falling headstones, or repairing the decaying tombs, or even the broken fences ! " I admit that, despite these apparent and sad intimations of neglect, the memory of the dead is there cherished with as much sensibility, at least, as ever prompted the erection of the costliest mausoleum, or planted and watched the ' forget-me-nots ' and ' immortelles,' as they bloomed by the graves of the departed. But afiection is not exhausted or weakened, by giving to it ex- pression, nor the fount of feeling dried up, by imbodying its ap- propriate signs ; and for one, I confess to a good deal of rever- ence and tender regard, not only for the memory of the dead, but for the perishing body — the fleshly tabernacle in which the im- mortal spirit had sojourned. "In that, I see the signet of the great and divine Architect, as well as on that which inhabited it. It is the dictate of nature to love it. We press it to our arms when living ; we seal it with our kisses when dead. The dear who are atjsent, come to our imaginations in the hour of revery and solitude, clothed in the material forms which are so familiar ; and in them are the dead who have been buried remembered. Nay, when we think of them in that higher home to which our Christian faith points us, in those spiritual bodies of which the Apostle speaks, whatever else be our ideas, the same eye seems to beam on us, the same smile to lighten the same features, the same hand to beckon us on. Hence, we find the remains of the dead sacred among all people ; the violation of the grave everywhere regarded as sacri- lege. Hence, our complacency at seeing a portion of the w^ealth which is lavished on palaces for the living, appropriated to pro- vide for, and fitly adorn the habitations of the dead. Honor, reverence, aflfection, we would say, then, to that curious, won- drous, beautiful mechanism of God, the body, when it has fulfilled its office ! Glad let us be to lay it in the virgin soil of this fair spot ! Soft fall the rays of the rising and setting sun, as they shine upon the green turf which covers it ! The grateful shade of these noble trees, the odor and beauty of sweet flowers, shall add their fragrance and loveliness to the place ; and whatever monu- ment, or stone, or marble, may hereafter be raised here, we will 3 3i GREEN-WOOD ILLUSTRATED. find our plea for doing it, in the natural and strong promptings of the heart. But beyond this, there are high moral uses to be found in the place of graves, where that is well selected and well order- ed. It is not only grateful to the mourner in the early freshness of grief, but may be full of blessed influences to all the living. I am strongly tempted to say, that whoever can come to such a place as this where we stand, and the entire Cemetery to which it belongs, and not be impressed, and impressed deeply, by these influences, must be largely wanting in the common seriousness of our nature. I know not the place which unites in its natural aspect, and in its great capabilities, more fitness at once for the main design for which it was chosen, and more fulness of material for instructive and useful lessons to the living, as the dwelling- place of the dead, than this fair domain. All that is needed to ihis latter end is, that when we come here, we surrender our- selves, in a suitable frame of mind, to the spirit of the place. And for this, I do not think it necessary that we should enter it always in the funeral train, when the passing bell, solemn and touching as it is, chimes out its requiem to the departed. It is enough that the place is set apart and secured, as far as human contrivance and law can go, for the purposes of a Cemetery, that is, as the word imports, a sleeping or resting-place for the dead. " In its singular quiet, presenting a striking contrast to the noise and stir of the great cities close by ; in its easy access, yet secluded position, almost washed by the solitary sea ; in its diversified surface of hill and dale, glen and plain, woodland and copse, land and water ; in its exquisite natural beauties, and its large extent, it is remarkably fitted in itself for these purposes. As year after year passes, and more and more of the living who have been accustomed to thread its avenues, are gathered within its bosom ; as art and affection, from generation to generation, shall combine to do honor to the dead, rich and most aflfecting to the soul rightly disposed, will be the associations which shall clus- ter around it. And then to pause amid its still shades and think : — Here, indeed, is the place of the dead ! The dust which the living have worn, is here mingling again with the dust. As years come and go, here will be gathered more and more, ' the mighty con- gregation of the dead.' The voice of spring will be heard in the gentle breeze, or the blast of winter will wail among these then naked branches, with every opening or dying year, long after the thousands who now throng the streets of yonder cities, shall have gone to swell its ranks ! " What a lesson is here read to us, by every little mound of earth that marks the bed of a sleeper, every monument that tells his name, on the folly and vanity of all human designs ! Could the dead that lie buried within these graves now rise and speak to us, how sobered should we find the tongue of frivolity, how care- less of human fame the ambitious ; how weak the passionate ; VISTA HILL. a© how serious the worldling and the fop ; how humble and sincere the proud and the pretender ! "There is another lesson to be learned here ; and that relates to what survives and is imperishable. The monuments of de- parted heroes, in the groves of the Academia, without the walls of the city of Minerva, would not permit Themistocles to sleep, so did the thought of their great deeds fire his soul ! How much more should the place of the Christian dead stir and wake us, as we pause amid its shades, to a holy emulation of their high and more than heroic graces ! What has passed, or is now passing away, is daily of less and less importance, — while what remains is imperishable. " The affections are immortal. The reunion of Christian friends after death, is a truth sanctioned by the entire teaching and spirit of the Gospel. Every virtue which graced the charac- ter of the departed ; every pure wish and holy purpose ; every sincere and holy prayer; every disinterested, honest, generous deed, — all that really endeared them to our hearts, are now like garlands of amaranth upon their tombs, and cannot die. The baptism of death has put them beyond the reach of temptation and sin. And when we stand by the spot where their dust re- poses, we seem adjured, in tones that pierce the soul, by motives too mighty to be resisted, to be good, pure, faithful, even unto death, that when we too come to die, we, like them, may rest from our labors, and our good works follow us. " Ever sacred, then, be this spot to the pious uses for which it is set apart ! Ever precious in presence and in memory to the mourner ! Ever blessed and subduing in its influences and associ- ations to the prosperous and the happy ! May it serve, dearly beloved, as a new bond to keep us together, a united and Chris- tian flock ! Whenever our feet bend their way hither, either to perform the last oflices of Christian affection and piety, or to strengthen our spirits amid the sober meditations which befit the place, and are inspired by it, may we, one and all, be prompted to an increased fidelity to the church and cause of Christ while liv- ing, that we may share with the sainted dead the heaven he promised ! " I must be indulged a word in reference to the entire Ceme- tery around us, since already some of you have a special interest in it beyond this enclosure, and as I value it, beyond all price, as another proof of our advancing civilization as a people, and as a most wisely selected and beautifully disposed burial-place for the dead, for our own and our sister city. It is a word of hope, that these lovely grounds may henceforth, throughout their whole extent, wear only those adornments which befit or express the Christian's faith. I regret that any heathen emblems — emblems rather of a religion of doubt or despair, than of one which inspires a well-grounded trust, a joyous expectation, — should ever have 36 GREEN-WOOD ILLUSTRATED. been blazoned on its monuments and headstones.* The inverted torch, the broken column, no more become the cemeteries of a Christian people, than some of the sad inscriptions in the famous Pere la Chaise, which travellers read there : — ' A husband incon- solable ' — ' A disconsolate wife ' — ' Broken-hearted parents :' the appropriate language of hopeless grief alone ! I would have words full of hope, and confiding faith, and cloudless trust, and filial submission, and a serene, cheerful piety. I do not so much object to the obelisk, Egyptian though it be, and savoring, as some think, of an idolatrous homage of the sun ; because its tall shaft, with its pyramidical apex, losing itself in the air, and pointing to the sky, may seem to speak to the living of the heavenly home which their departed friends have entered. But I prefer the cross, the symbol of Christ's victory over death and the grave. I prefer the words of Holy Scripture, which speak of ' the resurrection and the life.' So that, as we wander here to meditate and commune with the righteous dead, heaven itself shall seem nearer — the ter- rors of the last hour be scattered — the loved who have been taken, come back to our remembrance in all their spiritual beauty, — and our souls, chastened and sobered, be the laetter prepared for what remains of life's duties, and its last hour." The Rev. John Pierpont assisted in these exercises ; and the following words from his pen, — to which we are indebted for many Christian lyrics of unsurpassed excellence, — were sung by the assembly, and most appropriately closed the scene : — "O God! beneath this Green-Wood shade, — Beneath this blue, autumnal sky. Would we, by those we love, be laid, Whene'er it is our time to die. "The glory of this woodland scene, — These leaves, that came at summer's call. — These leaves, so lately young and green, Even now begin to fade and fall. " So shall we fade and fall at length : Youth's blooming cheek — the silvery hair Of reverend age — and manhood's strength, Shall here repose :— Then hear our prayer, " O Thou, who by thy Son hast said, — From fear of death to set us free, — ' God is the God, not of the dead,' That we, for aye, may live in Thee !" ♦ I fear the above remark may be misconstrued, or give unnecessary pain to some who have erected such monuments as are alluded to. Nothing was farther from my intention. As works of art only, do I feel that they are open to criticisni. It is not they who paid for therii, who are censured. Unhappily it is too frequently the case, that he who furnishes the design, seeks only to meet the eye of the em- ployer, and there is too little consideration with both parties, as to the significance of the emblems chosen. ©tcan C)Ul. " They have not perished, — no ! Kind words — remember'd voices, once so sweet- Smiles radiant long ago — And features, the great soul's apparent seat, — All shall come back ; each tie Of pure affection shall be knit again." E have in this view an obelisk of considera- ble height, and in some respects peculiar.* The shaft is surrounded by several narrow fillets slightly raised, and connected with other ornaments. Just above the base, on the front side, is a female bust in high re- lief. A tablet below records the name, vir- tues, and premature decease of a young wife and mother. The material is brown stone, and the work is finely executed. Hard by, and just seen through the foliage, is a laborer's cot- tage. Two of these structures, unlike in form, but both highly picturesque, already adorn the grounds. Others will from time to time be added, until, like a cordon of sentinels, they will sur- round the Cemetery, enhancing at the same time its security and its beauty. In happy unison with the immediate scene, and with the thoughts it naturally suggests, mark through the leafy openings those unpretending churches at Flatbush ! As seen from this solemn high-place, a sort of Sabbath stillness seems to rest on and around them ; while themselves may be deemed fit emblems of the piety and peace they were reared to promote. Still farther to expand and fill the soul, behold where, in the dim, blue dis- tance, stretches far away the mighty sea, — " boundless, endless, and sublime — The image of Eternity !" At a short distance from the spot which has just passed under our notice, lie the remains of the Rev. David Abeel, and a mon- ument will soon rise above them. A brief commemoratory no- tice in these pages of this distinguished missionary and most ex- emplary man, will not, it is believed, be unacceptable. * Erected by Mr. Charles Shields. GREEN-WOOD ILLUSTRATED. David Abeel was born in New Brunswick, N. J., A.D. 1804. His father served as an officer in the American navy during the war of the Revolution, The Rev. Dr. Abeel, for many years a distinguished clergyman of the Dutch Collegiate Churches in the city of New York, was his uncle. The subject of this sketch was distinguished, even in youth, by unflinching firmness of purpose and action. He early became a keen sportsman, and found health and strength in the exciting toil. The medical profession was his first choice ; and he had already made some progress in the study, when new views of life and duty induced him to change his contemplated pursuit for what he deemed a higher sphere of benevolent action. He entered at once upon the study of divinity, in the Theological School of his church at New Brunswick, and in due time completed the required course, with a reputation for learning and piety, which gave promise of high usefulness. He was soon settled as pastor of the Dutch Church, just then formed in Athens, N. Y. Here he devoted himself so assiduously to his duties, that a year had not elasped before his health gave way under the combined exhaustion of excitement and fatigue. To recruit his failing powers, and still serve the cause to which he had consecrated them, he accepted a proposal to minister, during the winter, to a church of his own persuasion in the island of St. Thomas. He returned to the United States ; but no entreaties could induce him again to accept a permanent station at home. The miserable degradation and spiritual wants of the heathen world had filled his imagination, and more than touched his heart. Especially had his sympathies long turned toward that mighty empire on the other side of the globe, whose teeming provinces contain one-third part of the human race. He went first to Canton, in the capacity of chaplain to the nu- merous seamen who congregate at that port. Soon after he be- came a regular missionary, under appointment of the board of commissioners for foreign missions, and was stationed at Bankok, in Siam. An enervating climate, and his own toilsome life, soon compelled him to quit his post. After several short voyages for his health, he returned to China, and settled at Macao. But his difficulties returned. He again tried voyaging in the Indian Ar- chipelago. But this had ceased to afford relief; and he reluctantly consented to set out for home. He returned by the way of England. Though so feeble when he sailed, as to be conveyed on a couch to the ship, the passage across the Atlantic proved highly beneficial. With improving health, his zeal and activity returned. He traversed the land, a missionary apostle, communicating to multi- tudes some portion of his own earnest benevolence. After a year thus usefully employed, he resolved, in despite of all remonstrance, to return to China. He arrived at Macao previous to the com- mencement of hostilities on the part of England. He was there OCEAN HILL. 39 during the continuance of that extraordinary war, and was ready, at its close, to avail himself of the strange and new position in which it placed the affairs of China. By a succession of events equally rapid and unexpected, he saw prostrated to the ground the barriers which custom and prejudice had so long maintained around that singular people. Whatever might be thought of the motive and principles which led to this result, or of the means by which it was effected, there seemed no reason to doubt that it would be mutually beneficial to China and the world. To the Christian philanthropist especially, whose heart had long bled for so many millions, "perishing for lack of vision," the event must have seemed a most auspicious providence. To none could the occurrence have been more welcome than to the devoted Abeel. For years he had been laboring almost single-handed. An exhaust- ing climate — impaired health — the acquisition of a difficult language — and more than all, the proverbial exclusiveness of the Chinese, were obstacles sufficient to cool aught but that fervid zeal and love, which the Christian's faith can alone inspire. He could now write and speak the language. His prudence, his conciliatory address and most exemplary character, had given him high consideration with many of the natives ; — and now, at length, the cannon of the Ocean Queen had been made instru- mental in leveling what seemed the last great barrier to mission- ary enterprise. He stationed himself at Amoy, with the intent of entering in earnest on the great work for which he had so long been preparing. But it was not so to be. He, who needs not our service, and who often teaches man a lesson of humility and dependence, as well as of faith and duty, by removing the most efficient human instruments, saw fit again to reduce him to ex- treme weakness. Again he was put on board ship, bound for America, but with no expectation, on the part of his friends, that lie would ever reach her shore. He did, however, survive the voyage. But little more remains to be told. With a characteristic energy of will, which seemed to triumph over physical debility, he visited different and distant parts of the United States. The warmest welcome, the kindest attentions, everywhere awaited this meek and worn-out soldier of the cross. But change of cli- mate, travel, medical skill, and assiduous care, were alike pow- erless to arrest the progress of disease. A nervous irritability, more difficult, perhaps, than even pain to bear, was his constant attendant. Yet no disturbance of the material organization ruf- fled his ever even temper, or marred the beauty of his Christian graces. His last days were spent at the house of his friend, Mr. Van Rensselaer, of Albany ; and there, on the 6th September, 1846, he quietly expired. " Serene, serene, He pressed the crumbling verge of this terrestrial scene; 40 GREEN-WOOD ILLUSTRATED. Breathed soft, in childlike trust, The parting groan ; Gave back to dust its dust — To heaven its own." It could have been no common-place character, no ordinary virtues of mind and heart, which won for the subject of our me- moir an esteem so general and enduring-. Intellectually, he was clear and discriminating, with great readiness and appropriate- ness of thought. Resolute of purpose, and energetic in act, he could accomplish a large amount of labor. He was a man of unvarying prudence, and the most considerate kindness. The sincerity and warmth of his good-will, written on his face, im- bodied in words of affectionate earnestness, and breathed in tones of the gentlest persuasion, possessed a logic and eloquence that seldom failed to reach the heart. He was distinguished, not so much by any one outshining quality, as by the balanced harmony of all his powers. His was that excellent and rare gift of Heaven, good sense. All the sweet urbanities of life he knew and prac- tised ; and the high virtues of the Christian missionary certainly lose none of their lustre by being associated, as in his case, with those of the gentleman and scholar. It must be manifest, that a character and life such as we have depicted, could have been inspired and sustained only by a deep- seated and healthy piety. It was this which nerved a sensitive invalid to those circumnavigations of charity, — which sustained him under the depressing fervors of a tropical sun — which en- couraged him along the toilsome task of learning the language — and which, when friends, and physicians, and fainting nature her- self, counselled retirement and repose, carried him again and again from the bed to the field. And what but this, amid the disappointment of long-cherished hopes, and wearisome infirmi- ties of the flesh, could impart that meek resignation and cheerful trust, which made liis last hours a scene of perfect peace? To human view, a death like this seems, at first thought, dis- astrous and premature. It is, however, only the close of a life which should be measured by its intensity, rather than duration. And, if "To live in hearts we leave behind. Is not to die," then Abeel still lives ; — lives in those words of his which yet sur vive in memory ; — lives in his great example of self-denial and love — in the very mound that swells above his ashes — and in each memorial that bears his name. iSattlc f)ill. " Once this soft turf, this rivulet's sands, Were trampled by a hurrying crowd, And fiery hearts and armed hands Encountered in the battle-cloud. " Ah ! never shall the land forget, How gush'd the life-blood of her brave, — Gush'd, warm with hope and courage yet, Upon the soil they fought to save." NDEPENDENTLY of their present and pro- spective claims to regard, Green-Wood and its vicinage must ever possess a strong interest, derived from the past. In that vicinity, — upon ground traversed in part by every visitor to the Cemetery, and lying immediately below and around it, — occurred the first serious con- ^^^^^J^^-~- flict between the British and American troops, ^^^^^^!^ O on the memorable 20th of August, 1 776. There is indeed reason to believe, that the very spot presented in the plate was stained that day with patriot blood. It seems strange that the events of that occasion, and the localities of those events, have commanded so little attention. In general, our countrymen have shown anything but indifference to the spots which were hallowed by the struggles and blood of their fiithers. There was scarcely a petty skirmish in New England which has not had its historian. Every rood of ground trod by hostile feet, has been traced and identified. Upon anniversary returns, thou- sands have assembled to collect the scattered bones of the glori- ous dead, — to hear their eulogy from eloquent lips, — and to rear some enduring monument, that shall transmit their names and deeds. What battle, since that of Marathon, has ever concentred upon one small spot of earth an interest like that which, for sev- enty years, has clung round Bunker Hill ? How have the histo- rian and the novelist, the painter and the architect, the poet and the orator, conspired to enhance its glory ! How many millions have visited the spot, to see with their own eyes that " sepulchre of mighty dead," and to press with their own feet the sod which was wet with Warren's gore ! In contrast with all this, what a story of neglect is that of the battle-ground in Brooklyn ! How few of the vast population in 42 GREEN-WOOD ILLUSTRATED. its vicinity, know or care aught about it ! How very few could even designate the fields where Sullivan and Stirling, until over- powered by an enemy in their rear, fought with their raw levies, the veterans of Europe, not less bravely than did Prescott at Charlestovvn, or Stark at Bennington ! Important differences, it is true, distinguish the cases. The en- gagement at Brooklyn, like that of Bunker Hill, was a defeat — but not, like that, more glorious than most victories. Instead of inspiriting the defenders of freedom, its consequences were de- pressing and disastrous ; and the day was long thought of, as one of mistakes, if not of disgrace. The ground itself came at once into the possession of the British, and so continued to the end of the war. The standard of general intelligence on the island, was neither then, nor for a good while thereafter, very high, while that of patriotism was decidedly low. The popular enthusiasm, so ardent elsewhere, was here unfclt, or for so long a time re- pressed, that silence and indifference in regard to the matters in question became habitual, and have never been disturbed. Such, it is believed, are some of the causes of a neglect which is more easily accounted for than justified. It is due to the brave combatants of that day, that their names and deeds should be remembered and commemorated, in common with many others — more distinguished, only because they were more fortunate. To this end we contribute our mite. We would induce some of the countless visitors of Green-Wood to turn aside, and stand upon the spot where their fathers once stood, " shoulder to shoulder in the strife for their country." At least we would have them know, as they ride along, that the very earth beneath them was reddened in the conflict, which secured to them their great and fair inheritance. The unsparing hand of improvement is fast sweeping away, not only the vestiges of all the old defences, but the very hills on which they were raised, at such expense of treasure and toil. Even the more distant grounds, beyond the lines of circumvalla- tion, upon which the fight occurred, have in some instances been materially changed. The actors in those scenes are all gone. Of traditionary information but little can now be gleaned, and that little will soon have perished. That the British would make an early and vigorous effort to obtain possession of the waters and city of New York, was anti- cipated, almost at the commencement of the struggle. The diffi- culty of defending it against a powerful army and fleet, which re- sulted from its position, was not diminished by the well-known disaffection to the revolutionary cause, that existed among the in- habitants. But the object was regarded as of pre-eminent impor- tance. The magnitude of the city itself, — its convenient and ac- cessible waters, and particularly its position of command, at one extremity of the great communicating line between the Atlantic BATTLE HILL. 43 and Canada, — were deemed reasons sufficient for maintaining the place at almost any hazard. As early as February, 1776, General Lee was ordered, with a small force, to New York, to guard against apprehended danger from Sir Henry Clinton and the tories. Defensive works were begun under his direction, and continued to be prosecuted by Lord Stirling and others, until the arrival of Washington in April. For four months more, the work of fortifying went on under his eye, and the most strenuous efforts were made to provide a sufficient defence against the expected attack. At the end of June the British fleet and army began to arrive, and took immediate pos- session of Staten Island. By the first of August, a powerful fleet and thirty thousand men were stationed on and around it. It was this strong naval and land armament which the American general was expected to oppose and repel. The advantage seemed to be greatly on the side of the enemy. An army mostly of militia- men, who had seen no service, and knew little of discipline, — poorly clothed and ill-paid, — with few of the comforts, or even necessaries of the camp, — scantily provided with the arms and munitions which such a service requires, and unsupported by a single war-ship, — were to make good their ground against num- bers greatly superior, — accustomed to all the duties of the drill and the field, — and completely furnished with the whole materiel of war. Being in total uncertainty as to the point of attack, the Ameri- can commander was compelled to scatter his forces, and to man a great extent of lines. In addition to the defences on Governor's Island, and on both sides of the island of New York, extending up the Hudson and East rivers for many miles, it was thought necessary to guard the western shore of Long Island, where it approaches and commands the city. A series of strong intrench- ments stretched from Red Hook quite across to the Wallabout. The woody ridge which extends along nearly the whole eastern side of Brooklyn, was guarded by detachments and pickets posted at all the openings. Such was the position of affairs when, on the 22d of August, the British commenced landing their troops at New Utrecht, near the spot where Fort Hamilton now stands. Four days afterward, their centre, composed of Hessians, under De Hiester, was at Flat- bush ; the right wing, commanded by Lords Cornwallis and Percy, extended towards Flatlands ; while the left wing, under Genera) Grant, rested on the coast. From the American camp the British centre was four miles, and each of the wings about six miles dis tant. Very early in the morning of the 27th, two brigades undei General Grant, advancing, partly along the coast-road, and partly by Martensis' Lane, which now forms the southern boundary of Green-Wood, drove back the regiment stationed in that neighbor- hood. Lord Stirling, with two regiments of southern troops, was 44 GREEN-WOOD ILLUSTRATED. dispatched to oppose them. The day broke as he came in sight of his foe, whose front, on the Gowanus road, was then a little in advance of the present avenue to the Cemetery. The regiment under Col. Atlee, which was retiring before the advancing column, was immediately stationed on the left of the road, near the point where Eighteenth street intersects it. The other two regiments were planted farther to the left, on the hill now included between Eighteenth and Twentieth streets. A company of riflemen was posted, partly on the edge of the wood, and partly along a hedge near the foot of the hill. Some relics of this temporary shelter may still be seen, — " There, where a few torn shrubs the place disclose." Having made his arrangements, and while momently expecting the attack, Lord Stirling thus addressed his men : — " The com- mander, soldiers, of that advancing column, is Major-general Grant. Not long since, I heard him boast in parliament, that with five thousand men he would undertake to march from one end of the continent to the other. He may have," added Lord S., " his five thousand men with him now. We are not so many ; but I think we are enough to prevent his advancing far- ther on his march over the continent than yonder mill-pond." The British having brought forward a body of light troops to within a hundred and fifty yards, opened their fire, which was returned with spirit. After two hours' fighting, the light troops retired to the main body. The contest was continued by can- nonade for several hours longer, when the noise of firing in their rear, warned the Americans that an immediate retreat had become necessary. Unfortunately, a pass on the extreme left of the American lines had been left without any adequate guard. Secret foes, who knew but too well the ground, had apprized the enemy of this advantage. In the course of the night, the British right wing, making a detour through New Lotts, into the road leading from Jamaica to Bedford, was thus enabled to throw itself be- tween the American detachments and their camp. The troops thus assailed by a fire in front and rear, mostly broke and fled. General Sullivan, with about 400 men, was posted on the heights immediately west of Flatbush. Though attacked by overwhelm- ing forces on both sides, he bravely maintained the conflict for nearly three hours, yielding himself a prisoner only when far- ther resistance had become utterly futile. While this calamitous affair was going on in the American right and centre, Lord Cornwallis, with a strong force, was ad- vancing toward Gowanus, and had already secured the causeway and bridge at the Upper Mills, when Lord Stirling, in his re- treat, came in sight. His men could get back to the inner lines, only by crossing the marsh, and fording or swimming the creek. BATTLE HILL. 45 at some point below. To protect them in this difficult and dan- gerous operation, Stirling advanced against Cornwallis with 400 men — ordering all the rest to make their escape as best they could. The conflict of this forlorn hope with the veteran troops of Cornwallis was exceedingly fierce, and at one time all but successful. But new and overwhelming reinforcements of the enemy rendered valor and patriotism alike unavailing. The scene of this struggle is supposed to have been principally in the neighborhood of the ancient Cortelyou house, still standing on the old road to Gowanus, with the date, 1699, in large figures on its gable. Numerous skeletons disinterred in its immediate vicinity — and some of them quite recently — leave little doubt respecting the locality. Stirling, having by this engagement secured the safety of his main body, made an attempt to escape with his small surviving remnant. But he was now hemmed completely in, and submit- ting to his fate, he surrendered. Several historians, — and the traditions of the neighborhood, accredited even to this day, — have affirmed that large numbers perished in attempting to cross the marsh. The same statement was made by General Howe, in his official dispatch. It is, nevertheless, undoubtedly a mis- take. A letter is extant, written a few weeks after the engage- ment by Col. Haslet, who commanded a regiment in Stirling's brigade, and was one of those who crossed the marsh. He states, unequivocally, that the retreat over the marsh " was effected in good order, with the loss of one man drowned in passing." There is no reason to suppose that there was much fighting within what is now the Cemetery enclosure. But sharpshooters are known to have been perched in and among the trees, which then covered thickly that whole range of hills, and tradition has it, that one small party of riflemen was surrounded and extermi- nated on the very eminence presented in the plate. That these practised marksmen would find little mercy at the hands of an enemy which had experienced the fatal precision of their aim, was only to be expected. In one instance, at least, a British offi- cer, unwilling to remain the object of their too partial attentions, left his post and men, and took shelter in a neighboring farm- house. As the bodies of the victims in this struggle were mostly in- terred where they fell, there can be little doubt that Green- Wood is the sleeping-place of some of them. It is time that a spot were set apart, on its most commanding and beautiful eminence, in honor of these early martyrs for freedom. Here should be deposited the relics which have been, or from time to time shall be recovered, in the numerous excavations now going on within and around these grounds. It may be difficult, nay impossible, to distinguish friend from foe. It matters not. To the sturdy Briton, who in death remembered his dear island-home ; — the 46 GREEN-WOOD ILLUSTRATED. poor, hired Hessian, whose last thoughts were of his wife and children on the far-distant Rhine ; — and the patriot yeoman, whose dying hour was sweetened by the reflection that he fell in a righteous cause ; — to each and all an honorable burial. " Gather him to his grave again, And solemnly and softly lay, Beneath the verdure of the plain, The warrior's scattered bones away." And here we may allude to another act of justice and gratitude, which ought not longer to be delayed. It is well known that the remains of the American prisoners who died in such num- bers in the British prison-ships, and whose bodies were hud- dled into the earth on a hill in North Brooklyn, were a {ew years since piously rescued from desecration, and consigned to a vault not far from the entrance to the United States' Navy Yard. This arrangement — the act of one generous individual — must, of ne- cessity, be regarded as temporary. The spot and structure are destitute not only of security against future molestation, but of the dignity and solidity which become such a tomb. Some faint efforts have indeed been made to accomplish their removal to Green-Wood. But why await the tardy action of the General Government ? Is there not enough of patriotism and gratitude in these two great and wealthy communities, to raise the means for a decent, nay, for a noble tribute to those unfortunate men, who died for their country as truly as though they had fallen on the battle-field, and in tlie very hour of victory ? Taken while defending that country's cause, were they less to be commisera- ted while living, or less to be honored and deplored in death, — that they were compelled to experience the pestilential damps and nauseous horrors of those dismal cabins into which they were crowded like so many sheep ? How many fond husbands and fathers, — how many well-beloved sons, amid those appalling scenes of want, sickness, and death, must have sighed for the comforts and the solace of the homes which they were never more to see ! But we forbear. Our strongest conception of such a scene, how far short must it fall of the stern reality ! In that master-piece of reasoning and eloquence, the Oration for the Crown, the incomparable orator, arguing the point, that well- meant endeavor, and not success, is the test and proof of merit, reminds his c .atrymen that their funeral honors had ever been paid to all who fell in the service of Athens — the unsuccessful as well as the victorious brave. The citizens of a great and flour- ishing state, in the brightest era of civilization and Christianity, should learn a lesson here from pagan Greece. Must some De- mosthenes arise, with superhuman power, to explain and enforce their duty, before they will hear and obey its dictates ? BATTLE HILL. 47 The position assigned to Lord Stirling's troops and General Grant's brigade, in the plans of the battle which accompany Mar- shall's History and Sparks' Washington, — a plan which has been lately copied, without correction, in Duer's Life of Stirling, — is very erroneous. On those plans, the contending forces are placed about opposite to Yellow Hook ; whereas, in fact, Stir- ling did not advance beyond the middle of Gowanus Bay — nor farther south than a hill on WyckofF's grounds, lying between what, in the future topography of the city, will be Eighteenth and Twentieth streets. There was, however, if we may credit tradition, a little fighting in the neighborhood of Yellow Hook — a slight skirmish, not noticed in any of the published accounts, between the advancing British and Atlee's retiring regiment, in which a few lives were lost. The Knickerbocker Magazine for April, 1839, contains an interesting article on the battle of Long Island, prepared from a discourse originally delivered before the New York Historical Society, by Samuel Ward, Jr. It is illustrated by an engraved sketch of the battle-ground, which is believed to be, by far, the most accurate of any yet published. The plan was drawn by Major D. B. Douglas, formerly of the U. S. army, from personal inspection. The major, to whose energy and taste Green- Wood Cemetery is largely indebted, had examined the entire battle- ground with the eye of a soldier as well as surveyor, and the sketch which he furnished may be relied on as authentic and complete. Much has been written respecting the causes of this defeat. The sudden illness of General Greene, who had superintended the fortifications, and knew all the cu'cumstances and necessities of the American position, — the neglect, consequent, perhaps, on the change of commanders, to guard properly the Jamaica road, — were doubtless the immediate causes of the surprise, the rout, the capture of two generals, and of so many soldiers. But had it been otherwise, — had every precaution been taken, — little more could have been done, or was probably expected, than to check the advancing foe. The American forces might have retreated in good order with comparatively small loss — but they must have retreated. Five thousand raw recruits — few of whom had ever been in battle, and most of whom must have fought without cover — could not long have resisted twenty thou- sand well-appointed veterans. The real wonder is, that they did so well. It was the first fight of the war which took place in the open field. To no greater trial of courage could those patriot, but unpractised soldiers have been put. Praise to their memo- ries ! — most of them stood well the test. They boldly faced, or repeatedly charged the foe — and fled or yielded only when longer resistance would have been madness and utter extermination. There is, perhaps, no period in the revolutionary struggle, to 48 GREEN-WOOD ILLUSTRATED. which we can recur more profitably, than to the anxious summer and the gloomy autumn of 1776. The courage which survived such disasters ; the hope which lived on amid so many discour- agements ; the faith which no reverses nor difficulties could shake, and which finally rose triumphant over them all, — have long commanded, and must ever command the wonder of the world. And shall they not awaken something more than admi- ration in us, to whose benefit they have inured so largely 1 It was while chilled by these blasts of adversity, — while water- ed, as it were, by the tears of those great spirits, who for a long time could bring to the suffering cause little besides their own indomitable energies, — that the tree of freedom was sending its roots outward and downward, and gathering strength for that rapidly expanding growth which marked the summer of its pros- perity. It is not, be it ever remembered, the magnitude of ar- mies — the masterly tactics, by which mighty masses are made to march and countermarch — the brilliancy of the charge — the steady bravery of the repulse — or all the bloody statistics of the most ensanguined conflict, which can attach to military operations a true and lasting interest. A hundred terrible battles gave to Na- poleon a fame unequalled in the annals of war, and that " name at which the world grew pale." But they were unconnected with high principle, — they were followed by no great, benignant results, — and in the sober estimate of future times, will rank, in importance, far below those Fabian campaigns which laid the foundations of an empire, that already walks, with its rank un- challenged, among the foremost powers of earth. Not in vain, then, was even the defeat of Brooklyn ; not in vain, the anguish with which the usually calm spirit of Washing- ton was that day torn. Not in vain were those two anxious days and nights which he passed on horseback, and which saved from death or captivity nine thousand men. These, and more, — the reluctant abandonment of the city, — the cowardice and desertion of the militia, — the loss of the forts, — and that sad retreat of the reduced, discouraged, barefooted, and half-naked army through the Jerseys, — were all needed. In the immortal letters and dis- patches of the great commander, and in the painful annals of the time, we read the cost and the value of what we are now enjoy- ing. Without these, we had not fully known how inherent, how enduring and elastic is the power of an earnest and virtuous patriotism. Without them, even the transcendent name of Wash- ington could not have filled the mighty measure of its fame. ®l)c lpilot'5 itlonuincnt.

HIS structure commemorates the loss of a brave and humane man. Thomas Freeborn was one of those hardy mariners, whose pro- fessional duty keeps them almost perpetually on the sea, and whose daring little barks often meet the returning ship, while vet many leagues from port. He attempted to bring in the ship John Minturn, in the se- vere storm of the 14th February, 1846. In spite of every effort, she was driven upon the Jersey shore, — and Freeborn, with a large part of the ship's company, was drowned, though close to the beach, and within hail of hundreds, who un- fortunately could afford them no relief. His brother pilots, with a liberality which does them great credit, reared this imposing monument. On a sarcophagus, which rests upon a massive base, is placed a ship's capstan, with a cable coiled around it. From this rises a mast, whose truncated top is surmounted by a small and well-executed statue of Hope, supported by her anchor and pointing to the skies. The front of the sarcophagus bears, in re- lief, a ship and a schooner, mutilated by the storm, and tossed by the waves. Its height and position make the monument a conspicuous ob- ject from the bay, — and will often arrest the eye of the pilot as he goes and comes on his hazardous but responsible errands. If it remind him of his own possible fate, it will assure him also that the faithful discharge of duty is never without its encouragement : .SIternumque locus Palinuri nomen habebit.

The feeling which prompts the erection of some memorial over the ashes of a friend, is undoubtedly a dictate of our com- mon humanity. A great philosophic poet ascribes the custom to that consciousness of immortality, which he believes to be univer- sal, and which is but aided and confirmed by the teachings of religion. Whatever the cause, its observance has marked every race and age in man's whole history, and appears not less in the " frail memorial," than in the gorgeous mausoleum ; in the simple Indian mound, than in the " star-y-pointing pyramid," The sup- posed necessities of city life, or its poor and heartless convention- alities, alone have been able to check or divert for a time the ex- pression of this spontaneous sentiment. But these interments in towns must be discontinued ; and the expectation is not prepos- terous, that the crowded charnel-houses which have so long re- ceived the dead to loathsome crypts, and nameless oblivion, will soon be closed forever. Well, then, may the introduction of the rural cemetery be hailed as the revival of a better taste, and the return to more healthy usages. It is something — it is much — to have transferred the resting-place of the departed from the blank and grim enclosures, the thoughtless and fierce turmoil of the city, to some retired and beautiful spot, — even though many continue to cling to their old associations, and, notwithstanding the necessity has ceased, still retain the tomb. " Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return." How shall this inevitable condition be fulfilled most completely and naturally — with the highest degree of safety to the living, and of security from desecration to the dead ? The question, how- 52 GREEN-WOOD ILLUSTRATED, ever various may be the practice, admits, it is believed, of but one answer. That answer is, by single interments in the free soil. Nature, reason, experience, utter the response, and taste reiterates and coniirms it. To this conviction the public mind seems to be gradually, but surely coming. With the progress of this change, we witness an increasing attention to commemorative memorials, and evident improvement in their forms and modes of erection. Such improvement was greatly needed. Bear witness a thousand grave-yards, but too emblematic of decay and dissolution ! Witness ten thousand tablets, once bearing the names and virtues of the lamented dead, and fondly reared to their " memory," now mos- sy, mouldering, inclined, or prostrate, puzzling the groping visit- or, and sometimes baffling even antiquarian patience ! Witness especially, those heaps unsightly of brick and mortar, formerly veneered with costly marble, now half-denuded, or entirely fallen, with their recorded "hie jacet" doubly true. It is almost impos- sible to find a monument composed of several pieces united by masonry, which has stood twenty years, without more or less of dilapidation and displacement. This evil has been too palpable not to be widely felt, and the wonder is, that spectacles so dis- creditable should have been endured so long. Of the beautiful cemeteries lately formed among us, we hope better things. That the hope be not delusive, will require untir- ing vigilance on the part of those who conduct these establish- ments, and the use of every precaution, by those who occupy the grounds. In the comparatively modern Pere la Chaise, this evil has already become great, and even in some of the still more recent English cemeteries, is beginning to be matter of complaint. Climate, the main source of the difficulty, is probably not more favorable here than it is in France and England. We are sub- ject to the extremes of heat and cold, of moisture and dryness ; to intense frosts and sudden thaws. No material that can be used for monuments, has yet been found perfectly proof against these potent influences. But although there is not one, perhaps, of the stones in architectural use, which exposed to the weather, is wholly invulnerable, it is certain that they differ widely in respect of durability. Ignorance or disregard of this fact has led to much of the decay and unsightliness which have so long charac- terized our places of sepulture. This is not, however, the only Qause. The whole subject of monumental erections, as a question both of taste and durability, must interest not only those who contem- plate making such improvements in Green-Wood, but all who would preserve from deformities and desolation, a scene of un- rivalled, and, as yet, undisfigured beauty. Regarded as an affair of taste, the subject is one of some deli- cacy, and we venture upon it with becoming deference. We do not forget the right of each individual to have his own way in such MONUMENTS. 53 matters, nor those maxims of universal currency, which rest upon the assumption, that m all this wide province there are no funda- mental principles. We set up no invariable standard, nor Avould we, if in our power, enforce uniformity, — variety being essential to pleasing effect. But we have notwithstanding, an unalterable conviction that all considerations of this sort rest upon certain laws of fitness and propriety, which cannot be violated without a shock to every mind of just perceptions and powers rightly cul- tivated. If it be a question of form only, the lines of beauty and deformity are not so easily decided. Yet even here there is less of latitude than is often supposed. There is a voice — the gener- ally harmonious voice of cultivated taste. It has the sanction of numbers and of ages, and may not lightly be disregarded. The simplest, cheapest form of sepulchral memorial, is the common headstone. This, in its usual character of a thin tabular slab, merely inserted in the earth, is not allowed in Green-Wood, for the sufficient reason, that it cannot be made to retain an erect position. Particular graves are sometimes marked by tablets placed horizontally, and sometimes by thick stones at the ends, rising but a little from the surface. But the head-stone proper is not excluded. To give the required durability, it needs only be made sufficiently thick to rest firmly upon a well-supported base. This class of monuments is susceptible of many pleasing forms, and being modest and unexpensive, will be likely to suit the taste and means of not a few. Of the more elaborate structures it will not be possible to treat in much detail. A few suggestions, of a general nature, will alone be attempted. In most of our rural cemeteries, the popular taste, ever prone to a servile imitation, has shown a strong predilection for pyramidic forms. The chief objection is the multiplication of one thing producing, as it must, a wearisome sameness. We have seen a ground so full of pyramids and obelisks, that one could almost fancy it a gigantic cabinet of minerals, being all crystals set on end. But there are other considerations which should weigh in this matter. The great pyramid of Gizeh excites emo- tions of grandeur by its vast height and bulk. Reduce it to a model six feet high : the sublimity is gone, and there is no spe- cial beauty in the object to compensate for the loss. Those vast monolithal, acieular pyramids called obelisks, their summits pierc- ing the skies, and their adamantine surfaces embossed with hiero- glyphics, attract our gaze as marvels of patience and power. But what particular atoning charm have our petty and unsuccessful imitations of them, that they should usurp and fill so much space ? These remarks, it is scarcely necessary to add, urge not the exclusion of this class of monuments, but only a more sparing and sensible use of them. Set here and there among other diversified and graceful forms, these geometric solids might produce a happy 54 GREEN-WOOD ILLUSTRATED. eifect. The dark conical fir-tree, judiciously planted amid masses of irregular and bright foliage, shows well in contrast, and pleases every eye. But who would fancy a park of firs? Those whose hearts are set on pyramids and obelisks, will of course gratify that taste. While so doing, it may be well to re- member, that in their angular measures, and in the relative dimen- sions of the monolith and pedestal, these seemingly monotonous structures differ very considerably, — often betraying, by their clumsiness, the bungling ignorance of those who designed them. In shape and proportions they should assuredly be consonant with the best forms of ancient art, unless indeed modern genius can improve upon those. Among other antique forms still used, the sarcophagus and column are prominent. These are more susceptible of variety, and to lines of higher beauty, add the charm of classic associa- tions. To the former of these, as a monument for the open air, it may perhaps be objected, that as commonly placed, it is too low for impressive effect. Properly elevated on a massive base, it could scarcely fail to be imposing. To the simple pillar, likewise, as we usually see it, a similar objection holds. It is too slender ; it lacks dignity; it does not fill the eye. To give it an efiective diameter, would require a height which might be inconvenient or too expensive. The short rectangular pillar, or elongated pedestal, with regular base, die, and cornice, and supporting an urn, or some similar ornament, is a much more substantial object. This has been long in use among us, and seems to have been often resort- ed to, when it was proposed to have something particular grand in the sepulchral line. Being executed generally in the style of mantle-work, the lines are for the most part rectilinear, meager in detail, and homely in expression. These monuments, with their brick cores and marble skins, are rapidly disappearing. Peace to their ruins ! Let no presumptuous mortal attempt to reconstruct them ! But this kind of structure becomes a very diflerent affair, when reared of solid material, and of stone, which yields to the chisel, and can defy the elements. Several monuments of this class, both square and tripodal, have been put up in Green-Wood, and have done much toward giving the improvements there a charac- ter for originality and beauty, — evincing, as they do, great capa- bility in the way of variety, of dignity, and of grace. Numerous declivities in the grounds greatly facilitate the exca- vation and the use of tombs, and by consequence, render their fronts conspicuous. A cursory observation of the different en- trances, is sufficient to show that there is, even in these humble facades, considerable scope as well as call for architectural skill. The conditions which we would see fulfilled, and which are actu- ally attained here in many instances, are an appearance of per- fect security and strength, — symmetrical proportions, — and that MONUMENTS. 55 air of quiet solemnity, which becomes the entrance to a house of the dead. The subject of monuments and devices strictly symbolical, opens a field for consideration wider than we can now explore. Within the whole range of mortuary memorials, there is probably nothing which gives so complete satisfaction as this embodiment of thought in marble speech, when it is felicitously conceived, and properly executed. Sculpture has won her greenest and most en- during crown, when, with mute eloquence, she tells the story of faith triumphant over mortal anguish, — and, with immortality written on her beaming brow, stands pointing heavenward. But in proportion to the greatness and gladness of that success which rewards the high endeavor, are the disappointment and disgrace which tread on the heels of failure. The eye of taste and the heart of sensibility are shocked by attempts, which convert into objects of ridicule and contempt, what ought only to solemnize and elevate the mind. In reference, then, to all original concep- tions of a symbolic nature, the path of prudence seems plain. He who meditates a work of this description, ought surely to consid- er well before he decides, lest peradventure he record some ex- pensive folly, in a material whose durability would then be its greatest misfortune. Such a work should bring into requisition the choicest talent and the highest skill. Genius and piety should furnish the design, and judgment and taste should superintend the task. For those who, in such matters, are content to copy the notions or works of others, the course is easier and safer. The public voice, — the voice, perhaps, of centuries, — may be considered as having passed sentence of approval on the forms which have been so often repeated or imitated. And yet how many even of these significant representations, fail to meet the demands of a chasten- ed taste, or lack the sanction of reason and scripture. Angelic forms, for instance, have been favorite subjects of monumental sculpture. It could, indeed, hardly be otherwise. Our earliest and most cherished associations have accustomed us to blend some image of cherub or seraph, with every thought of the spiritual world. Sacred verse, from the nursery rhyme to the lofty epic, has made these winged messengers of heaven seem almost famil- iar to our senses. The Bible itself, through its whole course, from the sad, primeval hour, when " all in bright array, The cherubim descended," to close and guard the gate of Paradise, to that night of gladness, in which " sworded seraphim" Were " seen in glittering ranks, with wings display'd, Harping in loud and solemn quire, With unexpressive notes, to heaven's new-born heir;" — Sm GREEN-WOOD ILLUSTRATED. is one continuous record of angelic visitations. In no way, per- haps, have the painter and sculptor more fully exhibited the power of genius and art, than in those happy efforts by which they have given to the eye these shapes of transcendent beauty and good- ness. But such are the exceptions. Too often, these attempted personifications in stone, or on the canvass, do not even approach the bright conceptions with which poetry and inspiration have rilled our imaginations. When the subject is thus elevated, no- thing short of the highest attainment can satisfy our expectations; iud with painful disappointment we turn away from the grotesque ixpression or incongruous attitude. " Though sculptors, with mistaken art, Place weeping angels round the tomb, Yet when the great and good depart. These shout to bear their conquerors home " Glad they survey their labors o'er, And hail them to their native skies ; Attend their passage to the shore. And with their mounting spirits rise. " If, then, the wounded marble bear Celestial forms to grace the urn. Let triumph in their eyes appear, Nor dare to make an angel mourn." Of these imitations, the emblems most used are of Greek or Egyptian origin. To the dignity of age, some of them add that beauty of device and form which Grecian genius could so well impart. No one can doubt that in their own time and place, these symbols were natural and appropriate, as well as beautiful. But are they so still ? Seen among the cypresses of an Ionian ceme- tery, or over the ashes of some beloved and lamented Athenian youth, the fragmentary column, or the torch reversed and going out in darkness, was a fit expression of the popular belief, and truly symbolized a sorrow in which hope had neither lot nor part. To the mourners of pagan antiquity, death was extinction. To them, no voice from heaven had spoken. For them no page of revelation shone. No seer divine had taught them those lessons of faith, which alone can give to the bereaved and sorrowing, as- surance of immortality and reunion, when the broken pillar will be more than restored, and the extinguished blaze shall be relu- mined, never to fade again. With some reason might they plant upott the tomb the tokens of crushed affections and hopeless grief. But when a Christian weeps for departed loveliness, or would raise some memorial for one who has died in the faith and peace of the gospel, are these the emblems which he should adopt ? Shall he upon whose eye has beamed the star that first shed a ra- diance on the grave, and still lights up the once dark realms be- MONUMENTS. 57 yond, employ the same symbols with the pagan and the infidel ? As a question of religious consistency — of simple propriety — of mere taste, even — has this matter been sufficiently considered ? We pretend not to suggest the forms which should either consti- tute or embellish the mementoes that rise for the dead in a Chris- tian land. Happily there is no lack of those which are both beau- tiful and appropriate. They will readily be found by such as seek for them. Those who will use the gloomy hieroglyphics of some perished creed, should at least place near them the cheering em- blems of a living faith. If Death be represented with downcast look and inverted flame, let Immortality, as in the fine group of Thorwaldsen, stand by his side, with torch high blazing, and eyes upturned in love and rapture. A strong disposition has of late been prevalent, to revive, for civil, monumental, and religious purposes, the architecture of the ancient world. When man builds for his own accommodation, or for objects purely civil and secular, the questions which he is called to settle are those of utility and beauty mainly. But when he rears a temple to God, or a memorial for the dead, there are other considerations which demand a hearing. In determining the style of erections designed to express and to cherish emotions of tenderness and piety, it is not wise — it is not safe to disregard those influences which belong to associated thought, and to time- hallowed memories. We are creatures of sentiment and sympa- thy. A few, in their superior illumination, may profess indiffer- ence to the power of circumstances so trivial. But these are not " the people." However they may doubt or deny the reality, the world yet rolls on, and round, — and causes, not the less irresisti- ble that they are unseen and despised, still move the rising and retiring tides of human passion. It is in disregard of such influences as those above referred to, that some modern philanthropists have thought it a good specula- tion, both pecuniary and religious, to purchase theatres, and con- vert them into houses of public worship. Has the experiment worked well ? Not so did the early Christians. When Rome was converted from idolatry to the religion of the cross, thousands of temples were abandoned by their worshippers. Here were structures ready furnished to their hands. Did their Grecian sym- metry — their pillars of polished marble and porphyry — their tesse- lated floors — or their magnificent cornices and colonnades — tempt the followers of Jesus within their walls? Nay, they knew too well the power of old associations, to set up a pure and spiritual worship on pavements lately wet with libations to Bacchus and Venus, — where altars had smoked to Jupiter and Mars, — and where every familiar object must have been redolent of error and impurity. And is Christian architecture so poor and scanty, — is modern genius so sterile, that we must seek the models of our churches in " superstitious" Athens, and derive the forms of our 58 GREEN-WOOD ILLUSTRATED. sepulchral monuments, gateways, and chapels, from calf-adoring Egypt? An American writer, who had noticed the strong predilection for the antique manifested in the oldest of our cemeteries, has happily expounded the principles of taste and feeling which should prevail in sepulchral architecture. We quote from the North American Review for October, 1836 : " It is very doubtful whether the Egyptian style is most appro- priate to a Christian burial-place. It certainly has no connection with our religion. In its characteristics it is anterior to civiliza- tion ; and therefore is not beautiful in itself. No one will deny the superiority of the Grecian in mere point of beauty. But more than this, Egyptian architecture reminds us of the religion which called it into being, — the most degraded and revolting paganism which ever existed. It is the architecture of embalmed cats and deified crocodiles : solid, stupendous, and time-defying, we allow ; but associated in our minds with all that is disgusting and absurd in superstition. Now, there is certainly no place, not even the church itself, where it is more desirable that our religion should be present to the mind, than the cemetery, which must be regard- ed either as the end of all things, — the last, melancholy, hopeless resort of perishing humanity, — the sad and fearful portion of man, which is to involve body and soul alike in endless night ; or, on the other hand, as the gateway to a glorious immortality, — the passage to a brighter world, whose splendors beam even upon the dark chambers of the tomb. It is from the very brink of the grave, where rest in eternal sleep the mortal remains of those whom we have best loved, that Christianity speaks to us in its most triumphant, soul-exalting words, of victory over death, and a life to come. Surely, then, all that man places over the tomb should, in a measure, speak the same language. The mon- uments of the burial-ground should remind us that this is not our final abode : they should, as far as possible, recall to us the conso- lations and promises of our religion." For the highest class of monumental tributes, we must resort to the studio of the sculptor. Personal representations, whether real or allegorical, will ever maintain in the world of art a superi- ority to all other forms, not unlike that which belongs to their pro- totypes in the worlds of life and thought. Accordingly, in all ages and lands in which art has flourished, monumental sculpture has abounded. In our busy country, the era of the fine arts, if in progress, has but just begun. As was to be expected, our patron- age of the brush and chisel thus far has been somewhat character- istic, if not selfish, — amounting to little more than orders for portraits and busts, to adorn the domestic halls which still rejoice in the presence of the originals. Nor is it because they could not be had, that better things have not been more generally sought. In the first of these departments American genius has for years MONUMENTS. 59 been distinguished ; and in the latter, it has entered on a career which promises to be long and brilliant. To native merit of so high order, our countrymen cannot long remain insensible and un- just. With increasing wealth and leisure, — with advancing know- ledge and refinement, — with travel more frequent and extended, the patronage of art will undoubtedly keep pace. In that coming and not distant age of Phidian splendor, the dead will claim and receive no inconsiderable share of the sculptor's skill. Wealth, refined by taste, and quickened by the pi-omptings of grief and aflection, will delight to preserve in breathing marble the loved form which has faded from earth. Through the medium of this most expressive art, the language of sorrow and of hope may be conveyed to the eye with happiest effect ; and while propriety in design might thus go, hand in hand, with sensibility of feeling, merit would reap a fostering reward. Large sums have not un- frequently been devoted to the erection of huge Egyptian monu- ments, — to fanciful tombs below and above ground, — or to piles of masonry, which, beyond their expensiveness, have little or no- thing else to boast of. Had these ample means been applied to secure works of high art from a Greenough or Powers, a Craw- ford or Brown, how difierent the result, both as to present effect and enduring influence ! For all purposes of improvement in the arts — of national repu- tation — of patronized genius, need we say that the former are ut- terly inefficient ? Were there, on the other hand, in the grounds at Green-Wood, a single perfect statue — but one great master- piece of American sculpture, to be seen and studied by the myri- ads who annually visit the spot, can any one estimate the elements of power which would sit enthroned within its fair proportions ? — power to awaken or enhance a sensibility to beauty, — power to el- evate while it refines the intellect, and thus with reflex influence to aid in moulding the manners and the heart ? But there is one serious obstacle to the introduction of fine sepulchral statuary, which meets us at the threshold. Only one materia], if we may believe the concurring voice and practice of artists in all ages, is suitable for the highest efibrts of the chisel. But to expose under the open sky, and to all the rigors of our Scythian climate, the snowy marble on which months or years of labor have been expended, seems to be little less than barbarous. Those who have observed the effects of exposure in this country, upon even the hardest and purest of the Italian marbles, need not be told in how short a time weather-stains, and cracks, and ex- foliation, do their ruinous work. If, then, we are ever to have in our cemeteries these noblest and most beautiful of all sepulchral memorials, some safe and becoming shelter must be provided for them. The need of a chapel in Green- Wood, for the accommodation of those who would prefer to have some religious service on the 60 GREEN-WOOD ILLUSTRATED. ground, has been felt from the first. Nothing, it is supposed, but expenses deemed still more exigent, have prevented the govern- ment of the Institution from erecting, ere this, such a structure. Whatever of cogency there may have been in these reasons, it is respectfully suggested whether the chapel be not now the first and highest want of the Cemetery, When the great number of interments made in it is considered, it cannot be doubted, that there are many families, summoned by these mournful eri-ands to the grave, to whom such a building would be a great accommoda- tion. Nowhere, certainly, could the last rites of love and religion be more decently paid, than in such a place, set apart for funereal purposes ; while, at the same time, the afliicted home might be relieved from what is too often the intrusive bustle of a crowded funeral. A cemetery chapel might also, we believe, be greatly useful, by furnishing a place where the friends of the deceased could, at the appointed hour, privately assemble ; removing thus the supposed necessity of providing a long train of carriages, — a custom which involves much idle parade, and not unfrequently an oppressive expense. But not to dwell on considerations which deserve a separate discussion, let us return to the thought which brought the chapel before us. The idea of using the structure proposed to be erected for burial services, to receive, also, and preserve delicate statuary and reliefs, was sugested in an article appended to a published statement of the Comptroller for 1845. The considerations then suggested have lost none of their weight. Already may be seen upon the ground sculpture of exquisite delicacy, seeking, as it were, the protection which it cannot find. The plan of a chapel for Green- Wood should be of a magnitude commensurate with the future prospects of this great institution. But the whole is not required at first, and we cannot permit ourselves to doubt that a wing or portion of the needed fabric will soon adorn the ground. Allusion was made, in the beginning of this essay, to the per- ishable nature of some of the materials used for monuments, and to the influence of atmospheric changes upon them all. This point has received less attention than its importance merits. Strength and durability are indeed proverbial attributes of stone ; but they are possessed, by the numerous varieties in use, in widely- difiering degrees. In the United States, stone has not been em- ployed for architectural purposes either so long, or in such vari- ety, as to furnish the means of deciding the question of compara- tive durability, though something may be learned from even our limited experience. In the old world the case is different. There the influences of time and weather have been fully tested. In the serene skies of southern Europe and of western Asia, may be seen many a marble pillar, over which two thousand winters have swept, without leaving a spot on their virgin purity, or dimming their original polish. But how unlike to this are the effects of MONUMENTS. 61 northern skies! A few years since, an obelisk brought from Luxor in Egypt, was set up in the French capita]. The material is a granite of almost impracticable hardness, and its highly- wrought pictured surfaces had suffered no injury from thirty cen- turies of African exposure. Already it has been found necessary to cover its sides with coatings of caoutchouc, to preserve them from the corrosive influence of a Parisian atmosphere. In Eng- land, the defacement of many stone structures from dilapidation gradually going on, has long been a subject of remark. A Report which was made to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, on occasion of selecting the stone for the new Houses of Parliament, gives minutely the history and character of all the principal build- ing-stones of Great Britain. The results of the investigation were remarkable. They show that while some kinds of sand-stone and of lime-stone — the materials chiefly used in that country — have stood for seven or eight centuries, almost or quite uninjured, there are other varieties of the same minerals, which show signs of decay, after the lapse of as many years. In several ancient structures, where two sorts of stone were used, one of them has crumbled like so much wood, while the other continues in good preservation. Everywhere it was found that the growth of lichens on the surface of the stone, however it may disfigure its appear- ance, is favorable to its duration. The wide and thorough ex- amination thus inade, ended in the recommendation of a crystal- line, magnesian limestone, or dolomite, as having given, on the whole, the best evidence of enduring value. The use of stone, as a building material, is fast increasing in our country, — and the facts in this Report are, as far as American quarries correspond to those of England, of the highest importance In the selection of a material for sepulchral purposes, regard should be had both to looks and durability. The adoption of a dark or a light tint, will naturally be determined in part by the style and position of the monument — in part by the taste of the proprietor. White, or something which approaches to it, has many admirers. When fresh it has an air of purity and brilliance, and contrasts happily with surrounding verdure. But, unfortu- nately, under our changeful and weeping skies, this beauty is soon tarnished. The fact will, undoubtedly, tend more and more to diminish the use of lime-stone and marble, unless some variety should hereafter be found, with powers of resistance and endur- ance superior to any kiiown at present.
