Description

For a long stretch of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, educated Europe was seriously afraid of premature burial, and the fear was not irrational: drowning, asphyxia, apoplexy and catalepsy could all produce a body that the available tests could not distinguish from a corpse. Manuel Amaya y Delgado's treatise addresses both halves of the problem — how to revive the apparently dead, and how to establish that a death is real before the burial proceeds. It is a serious clinical work on resuscitation as it was then understood, and at the same time a document of one of the most persistent anxieties of its age. This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1818 edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.
