Description by Temperature Collectanea from 1796 to

Wilds America Octavo
Vo.1.p.395

In order to avoid
the expence of feeding
many (cattle] thro' the
winter, as soon as
the frost sets in they
generally kill cattle
and poultry sufficient
to last them till the
return of Spring. The
carcases are burried
in the ground and
covered with a heap
of Snow, and as they
are wanted they are
dug up, Vegetables
are laid up in the
same manner and
they continue very

Winter.

Moisture is an indispensable requisite to facilitate putrefaction and any substance may be defended from this change by compleatly drying it. This was performed by Cazalet and Villers of Bordeaux by means of Stoves the meat thus prepared was preserved several years without having contracted any bad flavour. The sands and light pereroires Earths preserve the bodies of men only by virtue of the propert of exhausting the Juices and drying the SOlids. From this cause it is intire Caravans have been discovered in Arabia cocnsisting of men and camels perfectly preserved in the Sands under which the impetuous winds have buried them. ibid. Mummies of this sort from Teneriffe are kept in Trinity College Library Cambridge, 3 Chaptal III. 274. The contact of Air is the second necessary cause in the putrefaction of Vegetables. It is reported in Ephimirides of the curious natural phnenomena
