Description
Excerpt from Burke and Hare
Throughout the text I have retained the contemporary punctuation, which differs from that in current use partly because punctuation, as Mr. Weller said of the value of experience matrimonially acquired, is a matter of taste, and also because to my mind the older fashion helps to preserve the true ?avour of the period.viii preface.
I have read or examined every item contained in the extensive Biblio graphy of the case which I deemed it my duty to prepare, no attempt hitherto having been made to catalogue and arrange the literary ?oral tributes offered to the memory of Burke and Hare. I cannot claim that my collection is complete, but I hope that it is fairly exhaustive, and I Shall be ready to accept in a proper spirit such notice of omissions as inay be taken. This Bibliography being, like the proceedings against Hare, of more technical than general interest, it has been with them confined to the limited edition, as also have the notices from contemporary newspapers, illustrative of the case.
