A letter published in 1832, that is responding to the public outcry against the usage of the dead for dissection. This is a pretty tempered response, arguing for legal ramifications to quell public rumor and other murder-harvesting, while being critical on the methods students have gone to procure the dead illegally. Here again it must be noted that there is a turn to changing the superstructures surrounding the taboos and not just a blanket vilification of the resurrectionists.
