It will require more than the reports of the few scientific gentlemen and the mob of curiosity hunters who will witness this cremation to induce men – and especially women – to give all this sacred pageantry with its tender images and to meet the future through the untried way of Dr. Le Moyne's brand-new furnace. Familiarity with the idea is the only chance for its success. If one or two cremations should take place instead of, and at the time for ordinary, burials, without charlatanry, but with impressive and solemn ceremonies, they would do much to soften the public prejudice. Dr. Le Moyne has doubtless the wisdom to perceive that human nature will insist upon shrouding its last state with some kind of poetic pomp and meaning ; and he will therefore not give to his experiment too much of the air of an ordinary baking. | It will require more than the reports of the few scientific gentlemen and the mob of curiosity hunters who will witness this cremation to induce men – and especially women – to give all this sacred pageantry with its tender images and to meet the future through the untried way of Dr. Le Moyne's brand-new furnace.
