TOMB OF THE TRADESCANTS.
In Lambeth Churchyard is a Monument, once handsome and elaborately carved, which was erected in 1662 by the widow of JOHN TRADESCANT the younger, to the memory of her father-in-law, her husband, and her son, who were inhabitants of that parish.
The Monument of the TRADESCANTS, 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 the perfect restoration of the Tomb of the TRADESCANTS, according to its original form, as represented in two drawings preserved in the Pepysian Library at Cambridge, and also for renewing ASHMOLE'S epitaph. The cost will not be less than 100l., and assistance is earnestly requested from all who are anxious to preserve ancient monuments, especially those who are following the same pursuits as the TRADESCANTS, and who are daily deriving benefit and delight from the labours and discoveries of these first of English gardeners and naturalists.
Contributions may be paid to,
