MR. RICH'S TOMB. [LET. V.
something peculiarly affecting. All Mr. Kiclis
servants, with many oi my own, attended the ceie-
mony, and many tears were shed. I have caused a
tomb to be raised over his remains, and have put a
small marble slab upon it, merely to record his place
of rest, with the following simple inscription—
'Claudius James Rich, Esquire,
' Died 5tli October,
4 A.D. 1821.'
" The cypress trees oi the garden are appropriate
emblems of the tomb, and I think, ii the whole em
pire of Persia had been at our disposal, a more
desirable spot could not have been chosen. r lhis
event has naturally cast a gloomy shadow around us.
Not that there is anything so terrific in the grave to
those who live and die as they ought; for everybody
sooner or later must feel, I think, that
" This world is not our place of rest.
Uncertain all but sorrow."
