Summary
| Description |
English: The skeleton of William Burke exhibited in the Anatomy Museum of the Edinburgh Medical School.
"I am disposed to agree that your sentence shall be put in execution in the usual way, but accompanied with the statutory attendant of the punishment of the crime of murder, viz.- that your body should be publicly dissected and anatomized. And I trust, that if it is ever customary to preserve skeletons, yours will be preserved, in order that posterity may keep in remembrance of your atrocious crimes." -- Lord Justice-Clerk at Burke's trial in Dec. 1829 |
