Thesaurus of horror; or, The charnel house explored ... /
Snart, John.
London : Sherwood, Neely and Jones,
1817.
"Being an historical and philanthropical inquisition made for the quondam-blood of its inhabitants by a contemplative descent into the ultimate grave. Shewing, by a number of awful facts that have transpired as well as from philosophical inquiry, the re-animating power of fresh earth in case of syncope, &c. And the extreme criminality of hasty funerals with the surest methods of escaping the ineffable horrors of premature interment. The frightful mysteries of the dark ages laid open, which not only deluged the Roman Empire, but triumphed over all Christendom for a thousand years. Entombing the sciences, and subsequently reviving all the ignorance and superstition of Gothic barbarity."
Errata at bottom of p. 175.
