    Crema-, tion and Urn-Burial , or the Cemeteries of the Future , ' by W . Robinson . The argument in favour of cremation and against the common

    the proposal with disfavour . Several feasible suggestions are offered for the removal of the most serious objections to cremation , and Mr .

    Robinson brings to his aid the opinions of Sir Henrjr Thompson , the late Bishop of Manchester , Mr . Justice Stephen , and others , who have

    written or fpoken on the subject . The book contains numerous admirable illustrations of urns used by the ancientsand one of * a
