These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside The Court of Cacus - Or The Story of Burke and Hare: Look inside the book: And now the bashful man was relieved of his burden of shame, light or heavy as you please; but we verily say of some weight, as we have him at the beginning of a career which made the world ring till the echoes might have disturbed the gods, and we know that he was not otherwise without feelings pertaining to humanity; nay, we know, and shall tell, that on one occasion pity suffused an eye that was destined to be oftener and longer red with the fires of cruelty than was ever before in the world’s history the orb of a human being. ...And for certain, if the student had been curious enough to estimate the effect of such words upon such a man, to whom “ten pennies” would have been words of inspiration, he would have seen in that eye, no longer dull and muddy, the first access of that demon mammon, as by the touch upon the heart it raised the first pulses of a fever which was to grow and grow, till it dried up into a parched and senseless thing the fountain of pity; for, however inoperative, we are bound to say it was still there, as if abiding God’s judgments—and transform one nature altogether into another—for a purpose.

Excerpt from The Court of Cacus, or the Story of Burke and Hare Known by Him through whose permission it was allowed to be, I consider it a benefaction that the knowledge which kills shall be accompanied by the knowledge which cures. Nay, were it possible, which it is not, to keep from succeeding generations cases of great depravity punished for example, and. Atoned for by penitence, the man who tried to con ceal them would be acting neither in obedience to God's providence nor for the good of the people. We know what the Bible records of the doings of depraved men, and we know also for what purpose; and may we not follow in the steps of the inspired?

Excerpt from Burke and Hare Throughout the text I have retained the contemporary punctuation, which differs from that in current use partly because punctuation, as Mr. Weller said of the value of experience matrimonially acquired, is a matter of taste, and also because to my mind the older fashion helps to preserve the true flavour of the period.viii preface. I have read or examined every item contained in the extensive Biblio graphy of the case which I deemed it my duty to prepare, no attempt hitherto having been made to catalogue and arrange the literary floral tributes offered to the memory of Burke and Hare. I cannot claim that my collection is complete, but I hope that it is fairly exhaustive, and I Shall be ready to accept in a proper spirit such notice of omissions as inay be taken. This Bibliography being, like the proceedings against Hare, of more technical than general interest, it has been with them confined to the limited edition, as also have the notices from contemporary newspapers, illustrative of the case.

In a boarding house in West Port, an old army pensioner dies of natural causes. He owes the landlord rent. Instead of burying the body, the landlord, William Hare, and his friend, William Burke, fill the coffin with bark and sell the corpse to Dr. Robert Knox, an ambitious Edinburgh anatomist. They make a profit of GBP3 and 10 shillings. After this encouraging outcome, Burke and Hare decide to suffocate another sickly tenant. So begins the criminal career of the most notorious double act in serial killing. Here is the unvarnished, human story behind the infamous Burke and Hare murders. We delve into their past, their personalities and the circumstances that made them resort to murder as a money-making scheme. It's a tale of desperation and greed, of outsiders, ambition, corruption and betrayal. And it's all true!
