Cremation Of The Dead: Its History And Bearings Upon Public Health is a book written by William Eassie and published in 1875. The book provides a detailed account of the history of cremation, including its origins and development over time. It also explores the various cultural and religious attitudes towards cremation, and the reasons why it has been embraced or rejected by different societies throughout history.One of the main focuses of the book is the relationship between cremation and public health. Eassie argues that cremation is a much safer and more hygienic method of disposing of human remains than traditional burial, which can lead to the spread of disease and contamination of the surrounding environment. He provides numerous examples of outbreaks of disease and epidemics that have been linked to burial practices, and argues that cremation should be adopted as a standard practice in order to prevent such health risks.The book also discusses the practical aspects of cremation, including the various methods used to carry out the process, the equipment required, and the legal and logistical issues involved. Eassie provides a wealth of information on the technical aspects of cremation, as well as the social and cultural implications of this practice.Overall, Cremation Of The Dead: Its History And Bearings Upon Public Health is a comprehensive and informative book that provides a detailed exploration of the history and significance of cremation. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the cultural, social, and health-related aspects of this practice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
