Actually, you can achieve this effect in a number of ways. I did it (in LyX) with the memoir book class. You can either have the endnotes right at the end of the chapters (common for edited books, much less common for monographs) or at the end of the book (but still with the number restarting at 1 for each chapter). In the latter case, memoir lets even customize the text between the endnotes blocks. You can have something like "Notes for chapter 1" or whatever you choose. Memoir's manual explains quite well how to customize endnotes.
Speaking of endnotes, what I haven't been able to find out, instead, is how to have two have features often found in Humanities books: 1. Running headers for the endnotes that says (automatically, of course) "Notes for pages nnn-mmm" where nnn and mmm are the page numbers of the page of text in which the first (respectively, last) endnote of the current spread appears. 2. "unnumbered endnotes", where the marker of the note is invisible in the text (i.e. there is no marker), and is made up of the last 3 or 4 words before the endnote marker in the endnote itself. For instance, you may have a sentence such as: "This is a sentence I just made up to illustrate some Humanities-specific way of using endnotes without using markers in the text itself" And the endnote could be something like: "<i>without using markers</i> Some Humanities publishers really dislike endnotes and footnotes and will only accept them if the text appears not to have any. See, for instance, the following books..."
