Winslow, Jacques-Bénigne, 1669-1760. An mortis incertae signa minus incerta a chirurgicis quam ab aliis experimentis? English

The uncertainty of the signs of death, and the danger of precipitate interments and dissections, demonstrated, I. From the known laws of the animal œconomy. II. From the structure of the parts of the human body. And, III. From a great variety of amusing and well-attested instances of persons who have return'd to life ... With proper directions, both for preventing such accidents, and repairing the misfortunes brought upon the constitution by them. To the whole is added a curious and entertaining account of the funeral solemnities of many ancient and modern nations, exhibiting the precautions they made use of to ascertain the certainty of death. Illustrated with copper plates / [Jacques-Bénigne Winslow].
