History of Burke and Hare, And of the Resurrectionist Times

George Mac Gregor

Published in the 19th century, 'History of Burke and Hare, And of the Resurrectionist Times' by George Mac Gregor examines the infamous criminal activities of William Burke and William Hare in Scotland. The book details their murders committed for the purpose of supplying bodies for anatomical study, alongside an overview of the Resurrectionist movement leading up to the Anatomy Act of 1832, which made such crimes unnecessary. Mac Gregor aims to provide a comprehensive account of this dark chapter in medical history and its societal implications.
