| General Note | The epitaphs in the old burial ground on the common were copied by W. S. Barton in 1846 and published in 1848. His copy as finally revised in 1875 is given here. The epitaphs from the Mechanic street ground were copied by a committee of the Society consisting of E. B. Crane, A. A. Lovell, and F. P. Rice, who also supplied the notes. The "Addendum" (p.[125]-160) was published in 1879 after the removal of all bodies from the Mechanic street ground. Many additional names were found at that time.
