Like all great and important reforms which aim at the abolishment of a custom as old and revered as the custom is of burying the dead, cremation, as a substitute for inhumation, until a comparatively recent date, did not find many adherents, beyond a small circle of scientists. It is rapidly gaining favor in the United States, thanks to an enlightened press, which gave and still gives encouragement and support to the advocates of cremation. This work is an expose of the dangers caused by inhumation and an explanation of the superior merits of incineration upon new and scientific principles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
