Altars, Hearths, and Graves is a collection of poems written by John Moultrie and originally published in 1854. The poems explore themes of love, loss, and mortality, with a focus on the rituals and traditions that surround these experiences. The title of the book refers to the three places where humans traditionally gather to mark important moments in life: altars for worship, hearths for family gatherings, and graves for mourning the dead. The poems in Altars, Hearths, and Graves are written in a traditional style, with a focus on rhyme and meter, and reflect the Victorian era in which they were written. They offer a glimpse into the emotional and spiritual lives of people in the 19th century, and continue to be studied and appreciated by scholars of literature and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
