Synopsis
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?
