Edward Perry Vollum is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the unsettling topic of premature burial, focusing on conditions such as trance, catalepsy, and other forms of suspended animation that can lead to misdiagnosis of death. The authors aim to both inform the public of the real dangers associated with hasty burials and propose reforms in burial practices to mitigate these risks. The opening of the book begins with a preface that sets the stage for the urgent discussion of premature burial, describing how personal experiences motivated the authors to investigate this distressing issue. Tebb recounts a family situation that highlighted the dangers of being declared dead incorrectly and discusses the collaborative inquiry undertaken with Vollum into various cases across Europe and America. The introduction follows, emphasizing renewed public interest in the last few years surrounding this topic and noting how a range of medical professionals remain skeptical about the existence of death-counterfeits. The authors stress the necessity of reform and attention to this issue, as their examination of evidence reveals a troubling history of negligence related to determining death.
