Default Servants

I stumbled across this online book and found it fascinating.

http://archive.org/stream/faithfulse...ge/n5/mode/2up

Faithful servants
being epitaphs and obituaries recording their names and services.

Edited and in part collected by Arthur J. Munby ...
Published 1891 by Reeves and Turner in London .
Includes nearly the whole of (Epitaphia) (containing 311 epitaphs on servants) compiled by J.W. Streeten and published anonymously in 1826. cf. p. xiii.

It's organized geographically for the most part. Seems to cover a lot of area, pretty much the whole of British Isles I guess, minus the five counties listed on page 400. Section of obituaries, p. 351. Index of epitaphs in back, p. 366.

Searchable.

Can't find any of mine.
