3, we threw the light of our bull's-eye lanterns into the- vault, and then I beheld a sight I shall never forget. After our eyes had got accustomed to the light, we perceived that this vault was a good-sized room, as full as ever it could hold with coffins, piled one over the other from the very top to the very bottom. Many coffins were even piled up crossways in front of the door, so that no entry could be obtained except by moving them, and others were jammed up together in all possible posit...ions, without the least attempt at order, reminding one much of books packed in a box to be sent away. To the left of this vault there began another, in which there was a great mass of simple wooden coffins of per- sons buried anterior to the Act which ordered that no person should be buried except in lead. The faint and sickly effluvia which emanated from these vaults were truly overpowering and poisonous. I did not feel the effects of this till my work was over, and the excitement passed off. I was then exceedingly unwell for more than a fortnight, and from the peculiar symptoms was frightened about myself ; but, thanks to a kind Provi- 222 INSPECTION OF COFFINS.
