Report of the select committee on anatomy

182840962London 1828. Parliament. House of Commons. Report from the select committee on anatomy. Folio. 150pp. London: House of Commons 22 July 1828. 331 x 212 mm. 19th century boards rebacked and recornered in calf light edgewear. Very good copy. Old medical library stamp on title and first page. First Edition of this highly interesting and entertaining report on the British body-snatching crisis. Since the mid-eighteenth century obtaining cadavers for teaching purposes had been regulated in Britain by the Murder Act of 1752 which stipulated that only the corpses of executed criminals could be used for dissection. By the beginning of the nineteenth century however improvements in medical science coupled with a substantial drop in the number of executions caused the demand for cadavers to far outstrip the legal supply. This situation was ripe for exploitation by "resurrection men" criminals who robbed the graves of the newly deceased and sold their corpses to teachers of anatomy who of necessity turned a blind eye to the illegality of these transactions. Some grave-robbers even resorted to murder including the infamous William Burke who in December 1828 was arrested in Edinburgh for the murders of over a dozen victims whose corpses he and his partner Hare sold to an anatomical demonstrator connected to Edinburgh University. In the first half of 1828 in response to increasing calls for reform the British Parliament appointed a committee to "enquire into the manner of obtaining subjects for dissection by schools of Anatomy and the State of law affecting persons employed in obtaining and dissecting bodies." During the course of its investigation the committee heard testimony from a wide range of witnesses from eminent medical men to procurers of bodies for medical schools these last identified only by initials. The medical men included Sir Astley Cooper Benjamin Collins Brodie John Abernethy William Lawrence Herbert Mayo Granville Sharp Pattison who himself was indicted for body-snatching at the age of 23 Thomas Southwood Smith Henry Halford John Webster and Benjamin Harrison the treasurer of Guy's Hospital. The witness list can be found on page 13 of the committee's report. The testimony of these men reproduced in full in the report is followed by several appendices including tables of paupers' deaths broken down by parish; the committee was proposing legislation that would allow the state to seize unclaimed corpses from workhouses and sell them to surgical schools. The committee's efforts were successful: In 1832 Parliament passed the Anatomy Act granting licenses to teachers of anatomy and giving physicians surgeons and medical students legal access to corpses unclaimed after death.

ANATOMY - SMITH, EliasBiblio.com

Smith's American Manikin for Schools and Physicians.

1890179459Peoria Illinois: American Manikin Company 1890. The bare bones of anatomy An educational model depicting male anatomy. It was positioned as a cheaper and more user-friendly alternative to Louis Auzoux's papier-mâché manikins themselves an accessible innovation from earlier wax models. The American Manikin represents a crucial step in the widening accessibility and popularization of anatomy and is a precursor to the mass-produced teaching models of the 20th century. The model is double-sided one face depicting muscles nerves tendons and the spinal column and the other showing muscles veins and bones. The latter face has alphabetically labelled hooks onto which illustrated steel attachments can be affixed. When all the plates are in place the model can be "dissected" by removing each layer in sequence eventually revealing the skeleton. Several of the attachments have additional diagrams on the reverse; for example the attachment illustrating the nerves of the brain also features a diagram of the inner ear on the other side. First produced in 1888 the manikin was designed by Elias Smith 1828-1913 who also published the Atlas of Colored Plates Illustrating Features of Anatomy 1889. Smith was an enterprising businessman who held patents for bicycle saddles and dental equipment. The accompanying advertisement booklet makes extensive reference to the American Manikin's superiority over Auzoux's French model. The attachment for the model's hand is illustrated with the company's calling card. The manikin was issued with 40 attachments of which 24 are present. An accompanying Teachers' Handbook was also produced not present. Wooden model approximately 1070 x 407 mm chromolithographic illustrations affixed to both faces one face with 27 metal hooks.
