It is needless to be particular in determining the description
of offences of this kind, & since that description is liable
to be varied by local considerations. It will depend upon
the funeral rites that happen to prevail in the country
in question; in short upon the notions and prejudices
of every kind that happen to prevail respecting the treatment to be given
to dead bodies. These notions it is well known are abundantly
diversified. Among the ancient Romans it was the custom
to be burnt after one's death: in most of the civilised nations of modern
times it would be reckoned a great hardship.

Among the Egyptians it was the custom to be embalmed:
for which purpose a kind of dissection was necessary: among the in England
dissection is held by the bulk of the people in such horror as to have been made part of the
punishment for murderers. In England, the publicity
of the exposure would be still more shocking than the
simple circumstance of dissection.+ +In France on the contrary In North America
we find there are tribes of Indians among whom the exposure of
their dead friends at stated periods and in the most public
manner constitutes the most respected of their solemnities
