Offences against the dead

merely, he must be living. Even in the rhetorical and inaccurate way of speaking, when breath has once left a man the memory of him is all that lives. He cannot be made to
suffer in the way of Simple personal injuries, of
Simple mental injuries, of confin irreparable personal
injuries of homicide, of confinement: if any thing can be said
to affect him it is in the shape of a personal
insult: whereby a wound is made in his reputation
by means of an application made physically injury applied physically to
his person. Of defamation and unlawful reproach he can as well be
the object as if he were living. It is needless to
proceed any farther in enumerating the injuries of
which he can not be the object. He may be the
object of one kind of offence against condition. He
may be an object of any of those offences which
can tend to deprive him of the credit of a family
relationship which belongs to him, or to attribute
to him the discredit of a family relationship which
does not belong to him. In point of reputation he
may be the object of a particular kind of attack,
that of which the tendency is to take away deprive him of
the reputation of bare existence: to banish the idea,
of his having so much as existed, out of the
world.

These general observations will be sufficient
probably to justify the propriety as well as the
amplitude of the catalogue I shall now exhibit
of offences that may be committed against the dead. They are as follows.
