Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oak-Hill Cemetery, or a Treatise on the Fatal Effects Resulting From the Location of Cemeteries in the Immediate Vicinity of Towns The following Treatise is intended to awaken the people of the District, and particularly the inhabitants of Georgetown, to a sense of a most serious danger, which threatens their health and their lives; and to induce them to unite in making an effort to avert from themselves a dreadful calamity. To this end, it is proposed to state the impressions of the most intelligent communities, in relation to the practice of inhumation in or near towns: to give the opinions of learned divines, and of eminent medical men, who have patiently investigated this subject, and to present some of the facts on which these opinions and those impressions were founded. We will then proceed to show, that the establishment of the oak-hill Cemetery, in the vicinity of Georgetown, must necessarily be followed by the most fatal consequences.
