From the introduction by 'John Morley "It is strange to reflect that many Victorians are still alive today; the age itself seem [sic] distant. Heaven has become more remote; death is still with us. Nowhere is the difference between the Victorians and ourselves so marked as in the attitude to death. In place of the former romantic and menacing pomp, the motor hearse glides as swiftly as possible to an anonymous destination ; the external signs of grief are minimal. We do not frame and treasure memorial cards; our little girls of eight do not laboriously stitch epitaphs, nor do we place ceramic figures of famous murderers and murderesses, together with the scene of their crimes, on our chimney pieces. Nobody now talks of the moral influences of a cemetery. The whole apparatus, together with seraphs, angels, and the gates of Paradise, has passed into the realms of the fabulous."
