| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Cremation of the Dead: Its History and Bearings Upon Public Health" by William Eassie is a historical and scientific examination written in the late 19th century. The work discusses the practice of cremation and its potential benefits for public health, in contrast to traditional burial methods. It delves into the historical context of cremation, arguing for its re-adoption in modern times, particularly in light of health concerns associated with burial. The opening portion introduces the author's motivations for writing this work, explaining how his initial presentation on the topic garnered interest and led him to expand his research. Eassie establishes that cremation is not a novel idea, having been practiced in various cultures throughout history, and argues that its sanitary origins are paramount. He critiques the societal and religious objections to cremation, asserting that such opposition largely stems from misunderstandings or misinterpretations of historical practices and beliefs surrounding death and burial. The text sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the numerous historical and contemporary methods of treating the dead, emphasizing the pressing need to reconsider our burial practices for the sake of public health.
