[Marjolein · Rating 4 out of 5]

As this work is a report directed to the House of Commons it would indeed be unfair to hold it up to any literary standards that one would a novel. As most reports will be, the work is quite dry, but exceedingly informative for those who wish to gain insight in burial practices (including wakes), especially amongst the working-classes, during the mid-Victorian era.
