The epitaphs from the Mechanic street ground were copied by a committee of the Society consisting of E. B. Crane, A. A. Lovell, and F. P. Rice, who also supplied the notes. The "Addendum" (p.[125]-160) was published in 1879 after the removal of all bodies from the Mechanic street ground. Many additional names were found at that time.
