Excerpt from List of Inscriptions on Christian Tombs and Tablets of Historical Interest in the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh
Before 1895, the only attempt to deal with the epitaphs of the U. P. Was the Bengal Obituary, published in 1848. It contained but the merest selection of tombs from this province but the book is now rare, and I have thought it would prove of interest to distinguish the inscriptions in this list which also appeared in the old obituary. This is done by the letters B. After the inscription.
I have kept in the list the inscriptions of a certain number of monuments which cannot now be traced, but were in the two former lists. It is possible that they may some day be of interest, even of use, to some pious descendant desirous of keep ing green the memory of an ancestor by a new tablet in church or cemetery.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an extended list of epitaphs from British India in the era of the Raj, giving insights into military and civilian lives and deaths in the 19th century. The author has travelled widely through the Indian subcontinent to locate and record inscriptions that are increasingly falling into disrepair, and collected together biographical details of the people commemorated. The collection runs from the first British in India to soldiers, statesmen, and civil servants who died in the 1857 Indian Rebellion. The diversity of epitaphs included highlights the social changes, which took place during this period and the shared experience of death in a foreign land and uncertain times. The book will appeal to anyone interested in the history of the British Empire and military history. It's also an invaluable resource for genealogists and family historians whose ancestors served in India.
