Abstract
Tho' an Inquiry into the manner how bodies are resolved by putrefaĉtion, with the means of accelerating or preventing that process, has been reckoned not only curious, but useful (a), yet we find it little prosecuted in an experimental way: Nor is it to be wonder'd at, considering how offensive such operations are: wherefore, as I have been led to make some experiments and remarks on this subjeĉt, from the accident of having had an uncommon number of putrid distempers under my care in the hospitals of the army, I shall venture to lay before the society what i have found well as some faĉts, which, as far as I know, have not been mention'd before.
