the tract is beautifully undulating, and contains a number 

 of eminences and shady valleys. The principal eminence, called 

 Mount Auburn, is 125 ft. above the level of Charles River, near 

 a fine sweep of which the tract is. This romantic and pictu- 

 resque cemetery is the fashionable place of interment with the 

 people of Boston. Spurzheim, who died there Nov. 10. 1832, 

 aged 56 years, greatly lamented, was buried in it. The tomb 

 is an elegant, but plain, oblong sarcophagus, erected by subscrip- 

 tion, and bearing no other inscription than his name. I saw it 

 in March, 1834.
