In the mid-18th century, a growing number of peo- ple started to attempt resuscitation of "apparently dead" people as a result of drowning or other causes, and humane societies were established in Holland, Brit- ain, and other European countries. In this article, I describe a history of those humane societies and pro- vide an extensive list of literature related to resuscita- tion published from the mid-18th century to 1820's.
