English Cemetery Promises and Fashion Laws From Bygone Era
A colonial era newspaper fragment recounts a humorous gatekeeper tale of an Englishman gaining admission by virtue of a health plea and a later note about a buried promise. It also cites Florence dress laws of 1290 and 1326 on gold and silver adornments, followed by miscellaneous anecdotes and a cautionary tale of a boy named William in a dark passage.
