Cremation: A Rational Method Of Disposing Of The Dead is a book written by Howard Andrew Millet Henderson in 1890. The book advocates for the use of cremation as a more practical and hygienic method of disposing of the dead, as opposed to traditional burial practices. Henderson argues that cremation is a more rational and efficient way of dealing with the dead, as it allows for the rapid and complete destruction of the body, while also reducing the risk of disease transmission and environmental contamination. The book provides a detailed history of cremation, including its origins in ancient cultures, and its gradual acceptance in modern society. Henderson also addresses the various objections to cremation, including religious and cultural concerns, and argues that these objections are largely unfounded. Overall, Cremation: A Rational Method Of Disposing Of The Dead is a thought-provoking and informative book that provides a compelling argument for the use of cremation as a viable alternative to traditional burial practices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
