God's Acre Beautiful - William Robinson - Bog

God's Acre Beautiful: Or The Cemeteries Of The Future is a book written by William Robinson in 1880. The book discusses the concept of creating beautiful and peaceful cemeteries that serve as places of rest and remembrance for the deceased. Robinson argues that traditional cemeteries are often bleak and uninviting, and that they fail to provide comfort to those who visit them. He proposes a new approach to cemetery design that incorporates natural beauty and tranquility, with an emphasis on trees, flowers, and other plants. Robinson also discusses the importance of creating spaces for reflection and contemplation, as well as the need for cemeteries to be accessible to all members of the community. The book includes illustrations and photographs of various cemeteries, as well as examples of innovative designs that could be implemented in the future. Overall, God's Acre Beautiful is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the role of cemeteries in society, and the potential for these spaces to be transformed into places of peace and beauty.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
