TOMB OF 

 THE TRADESCANTS. 



In Lambeth Churchyard is a Monument, 

 once handsome and elaborately carved, which 

 ■was erected in 1662 by the widow o> John Tba- 

 DBscANT the younger, to the memory of her 

 fiither-in-law, her husband, and her son, who 

 were inhabitants of that parish. 



The Monument of the Tbadescants, which 

 was repaired by public subscription in 1773, has 

 now again fallen into decay. The inscription 

 also on the stone that covers Ashmole's grave, 

 ■who was himself buried in Lambeth Church, is 

 now very nearly effaced. The restoration of 

 that Church, now nearly finished, seems a fit 

 occasion for repairing both these Monuments. 

 It is therefore proposed to raise a fund for tlie 

 perfect restoration of the Tomb of the Tka- 

 descants, according to its original form, as re- 

 presented in two drawings preserved in the 

 Pepysian Library at Cambridge, and also for 

 renewing Ashmolf.'s epitaph. The cost will 

 not be less than lOOi., and assistance is earn- 

 estly reijuestcd from all who are anxious to 

 preserve ancient monuments, especially those 

 who are following the same pursuits as the 

 Th iDEscANTS, and who are daily deriving be- 

 nefit and delight from the labours and disco- 

 veries of these first of English gardeners and 

 naturalists.
