Modern Cremation: Its History And Practice is a book written by Henry Thompson in 1891. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the history and practice of cremation, which was a relatively new concept at the time. Thompson discusses the origins of cremation and its use in various cultures throughout history, as well as the development of modern cremation techniques and equipment. He also provides detailed information on the legal and practical aspects of cremation, including the regulations governing the practice and the various methods used to dispose of cremated remains. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the early years of the cremation movement and provides valuable insights into the cultural and social attitudes towards death and burial in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
