Once again one may say of popular lore, "Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose"'. In Lincolnshire, I may add, a four-wheeled waggon is now used in country parishes to take the dead to the grave-yard, if a hearse is too costly. Yet I never heard the ghostly vehicle which comes to forebode the passing of a soul spoken of as the "death-waggon."
Are there no representations of chariots carrying away souls in the art of Rome, Greece (with its colonies), and Egypt?
