To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Or burial-grounds within the limits of cities. We have provided cemeteries at great distances from our cities and large centres of population, and there the dead can do no harm. " To this the reply is easy and convincing ; that, if the dead endanger the living when the population is dense, they certainly also endanger them when the population is sparse. The danger is only diluted. It still exists, and it ought to alarm us just as truly when a few are imperilled as when many are. As lovers of ou...r kind, as claiming to be humane, we can no more be indif- ferent to the danger of a few than to the danger of many. True philanthropy has no sliding scale by which to gauge her gifts. And if the evils of earth-burial issue from the fact that a lifeless, body is buried in the earth, then these are not escaped and can- not be, unless the dead are buried at such a distance from the living that the living can never come into contact with the earth in which they lie, or breathe the air or drink the water which they pollute.
