may be thought superfluous, since the Object and Utility of
it is too evident to require Illustration; yet the Compiler of
the following Sheets, is unwilling that his Undertaking
should be submitted to his Patrons and the Public, without
a few prefatory Remarks, as usual, on the Publication of
a Book.

An Epitaph, in many Instances, may be denominated a
Biographical Sketch of the deceased's Life; since it often
records their many Virtues and amiable Qualities, and is
very justly considered, the last Tribute of Love and Respect,
we can pay to a departed Friend. A Record of this kind
may also frequently be found of Importance as a Reference
in Cases where more immediate Information as to the Date
and Place of the Demise is not obtainable, and this latter
Consideration, operated as powerfully as any other, to in-
duce the Compiler to undertake the Publication.

Some Years ago, a similar Work, entitled ASIATICUS,
was published by Mr. Hawkesworth; since when, the ORI-
ENTAL OBITUARY, by Mr. Urquhart, of Madras, has ap-
peared; and the Compiler of the present Work, thus pub-
licly offers his Acknowledgement for the great Assistance he
has derived from both those Publications; the Contents of
which, as far as corresponded with the Object of the MONU
MENTAL REGISTER, he has borrowed.
