Long out of print, this book was written by a prominent physician to reassure the many 19th century people who were worried about being buried aliveOne of the authors himself had a narrow escape with live burial, as his collaborator writes: "Dr. Vollum first became interested in the important question of Premature Burial in consequence of his own very narrow escape from live sepulture, having been pronounced dead from drowning, and prepared, for interment, when consciousness happily returned spontaneously." This edited version of the book extracts the most spine-chilling stories of narrow escapes and living burials from a mass of historical material. It includes such chapters as Animal and So-called Human Hibernation, Narrow Escapes from Premature Burial, Premature Burial of Doubtful Cases, Death-Counterfeits, The Danger of Hasty Burials, Sudden Death, Embalming and Dissections, and Count Karnice-Karnicki's Invention.

NEWCASTLE CHRONICLE. "Society is indebted to the authors for a scientific and temperately written treatise, in which the more sensational and horrifying cases are avoided, with the view of sparing the reader unnecessary pain. There can be no question that the sooner this subject is actively dealt with the better for the community." HOMOEOPATHIC WORLD. "An important work containing a vast amount of unimpeachable evidence to show that a very real danger exists, and that strong measures ought to be taken to safeguard the public against it." PALL MALL GAZETTE. "Horrible as are some of the details, they enforce the authors' plea for more careful examination of the presumably dead, and their arguments have great force." LIVERPOOL POST. "The moral of the book is that burial alive is a far greater danger than most people suppose." BIRMINGHAM DAILY GAZETTE. "That there is real danger in hurried interments, no one who glances at this volume can doubt, and the authors' contention that the subject of the book should be legislated upon is reasonable. The book is greatly enhanced in value by an exhaustive bibliography and an excellent index." BRISTOL TIMES. "The whole subject is exhaustively treated in this volume, which people interested would do well to give their careful perusal. It is extremely well done." SHEFFIELD TELEGRAPH. "A valuable and interesting volume." BELFAST NEWS LETTER. "The work sets forth some very convincing statements, and has fully justified the authors in presenting their joint opinion on a subject that ought to concern the community. They adduce quite a plethora of evidence to sustain their contention." THE LITERARY WORLD (LONDON). "The subject of premature burial is one of universal interest, and those who have it at heart cannot do better than make themselves as familiar with the subject as the exhaustive work before us admits. The writers have brought together a mass of facts and figures bearing on the question, and their conclusions are not to be denied or their labour undervalued. The book may strike a chord of interest, and arrest an attention that will be the means of a thorough reconsideration of our burial customs." Table of Contents EPIGRAPHS PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION.

Through a detailed and fascinating exploration of changing medical knowledge and practice, this book provides a timeline of humankind's understanding of physiological death. Anchored in Early Modern Britain, it explains how evolving medical theories challenged the ambiguous definition of death, instigating anxieties over the newly realized potential for officials to mistake a person's time of death. Fears of premature burials were materialized as newspapers across Europe printed hundreds of articles about people who had been misdiagnosed as dead and were then buried--or nearly buried--alive. These stories, tallied in this text, present the first contemporary statistic of how frequently misdiagnosed death led to premature burial during the eighteenth century. The public consciousness of premature burial manifested itself in many ways, including the necessity of having a wake before a funeral and the creation of safety coffins. This book also explores the folkloric phenomenon of the rising dead and the stories that inspired a number of authors including Coleridge, Byron and Stoker, who blended medical understanding with fiction to create vampire literature.
