THE NORTH BURIAL GROUND, PROVIDENCE, R. I. 
The accompanying views about the entrance of 
the North Burial Ground, Providence, R. I., estab- 
lished in 1 770, point a moral which may well be 
given very liberal consideration by cemetery offi- 
cials generally, for the proper development and 
care of our cemetery entrances has not received, 
in the purchase of lots, than has been hitherto recog- 
nized. The views given herewith speak for them- 
selves. From both the outside and within the gates 
the landscape work is effective and refreshing and 
positively invites better acquaintance. North Bur-

except in very few instances, the attention of which 
the best interests of such properties really demand. 
The desire to make every foot pay, has clouded the 
business intelligence to the fact that a well designed 
effective work of improvement throughout the ceme- 
tery, the idea being to bring the tract up to the

and carefully planted introduction to a cemetery’s 
grounds, coupled with appropriate office buildings, 
the whole forming an attractive piece of landscape, 
work, a real example of art out-of-doors, are more 
potent in inducing prospective lot-owners to invest 
fects. A proposed addition to its equipment is a 
chapel and Receiving Tomb, to cost some $30,000 
for which plans have been drawn. Mr. James War- 
ren, Jr,, is the superintendent, to whom we are in- 
debted for the beautiful views.
