Download or read book Cremation of the Dead written by William Eassie and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1875 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortly after having accepted, from the members of the Council of the Cremation Society of London, the office of Secretary, a wish was expressed to me by the President of the Metropolitan Branch of the British Medical Association, that I should prepare a paper upon the Bearings of Cremation upon Public Health. A short paper, with this title, was therefore read, and was afterwards published in the Journal of the Association by the Editor, Mr. Ernest Hart. It was so favourably received by all, that I have been induced to extend my enquiries and so render the work, if possible, more acceptable as an exposition of the subject. I am sensible of its many defects, but I trust that it will be found to furnish some useful information which cannot well be obtained elsewhere, besides proving an assistance to those who are desirous of studying the question more fully.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Earth-Burial and Cremation: The History of Earth-Burial With Its Attendant, Evils, and the Advantages Offered by Cremation "We believe that the horrid practice of earth-burial does more to propagate the germs of disease and death, and to spread desolation and pestilence over the human race, than do all man's ingenuity and ignorance in every other custom or habit." From the report made to the American Medical Association, when in session in St. Louis on May 6th, 1886, by a special committee of physicians appointed the preceding year to consider the necessity for cremation. "In the same sense in which the 'Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath, ' I hold that the earth was made not for the dead, but for the living. "No intelligent faith can suppose that any Christian doctrine is affected by the manner in which, or the time in which, this mortal body of ours crumbles into dust and sees corruption... Cemeteries are becoming not only a difficulty, an expense, and an inconvenience, but an actual danger." From an address by the late Bishop of Manchester, at the opening of the Social Science Congress at Manchester, England, October 1st, 1879.
