Fear Of Premature Burial.

The fear Of premature burial, which
prompted the late Lord Burton to di
rect by his will that his heart should
be removed from his body, has caused
many well known men and women to
order a surgical operation TO be per
formed up.n their bodies. Harriet
Martineau left her doctor f10 to am
putate her head. and Lady Burton di-
rected that her heart should be pierced
with a needle. The late Edmund
Yates left instructions that his jugular
vein should be severed. with provi-
sion that a fee Of 20 guineas should be
paid for the purpose. Literary persons
appear to have been particularly
afraid Of premature burial. Bishop
Berkeley. Lord Lytton. Hans Ander-
