be levelled at a neighbourhood as at an individual.
Instances are where a man wantonly and without occasion exposes his nakedness
in a street or road to the view of passengers: or exhibits
obscene prints in his shop windows: or
writes obscene words against a wall: or of where a man
beggar to extort alms exposes to the indiscriminate view of passengers

Resurrection-men (a) The people who disinter dead bodies for the use of
surgeons and anatomists are called in London by a

reason above given as well as in deference to the prejudices

it may oblige them to carry it on with as much secrecy
as possible.
