This 1869 text details the horrific murders of the London Burkers to sell bodies as cadavers. In the 19th century, there was a lack of medical cadavers due to the small number of executions. The London Burkers resorted to murdering innocent people, even killing young children, in the style of Burke and Hare. This horrifying account of the related interviews is straightforward, baring every graphic and minute detail for readers' discretion.
