  • John Hunter's Private Press A
    John Hunter's Private Press A. H. T. ROBB-SMITH is curious, considering thc detailed study of every as- pect of John Hunter's life, how little attention has been paid to the fact that most of his books were printed in his own house. There are at least sixteen other medical men who printed their own books, of whom, from a typographical point of view, Charles Estienne is the most famous, though his great anatomy was printed by his stepfather Simon de Colines. John Hunter's first book, The Natura2 History of the Human Teeth, was published in 1771 by Joseph Johnson of St. Paul's Churchyard, being printed by Thoinas Spilsbury of Snowhill, with sixteen engravings by Jan van Ryrnsdyk. Jolmon was one of the leading publishers of the second half of the eighteenth century, a kind-hearted man who would oftcii Suy from iinpecunious authors manuscripts which he had no intention of pub- lishing. In addition to Hunter's book, Johnson published for Joseph Priestley, Erasmus Darwin, Maria Edgeworth, and the Reverend John Newton. Newton was curate of Olney when William Cowper came to the little Bucks village to recover from his first mental breakdown, and though the gloomy parson had a disastrous effect on the poet's health, yet it was he who persuaded Jolulson to publish Cowper's poems which gave him and his readers so much pleasure. Hunter's printer Spilsbury was also one of tile leading lncnlbcrs of tllc trade; he had taka1 ovcr William Stralmljunior's premises on his death and was noted for his accuracy and integrity.

  • John Hunter Was Born Into a Farming Family in Scotland
    •JohnJohn Hunter: Hunter overview was born into a farming family in Scotland. At the age of 20, he moved to London to be an assistant to his brother William. William was a successful physician/doctor who had started an anatomy school in London. He also specialised in childbirth. John was very interested in anatomical research and had a talent for precise dissection. Apparently, John had another job which was to rob graves at night to supply bodies for his brother’s anatomy school. John worked as an army surgeon during the Seven Years War (1756-1763) where he dealt with gunshot wounds and amputations. Edward Jenner was one of his students. He became famous in his own lifetime, known as the ‘father of scientific surgery’. Interesting Fact John Hunter was accused of ‘Burking’ in a recent newspaper article. ‘Burking’ is named after William Burke and William Hare who were accused of committing ten murders over the course of a few months in Edinburgh in 1828. It was said that they did this to supply anatomy schools and surgeons with fresh bodies to dissect. Hare gave evidence against Burke and so got away with the murders. Burke, however, was hanged. Timeline of John Hunter 1728 born 1760 became army surgeon 1763 left army to set up medical practice in London 1767 injected self with pus from the sores of gonorrhoea patient. The patient also had syphilis and it took Hunter 3 years to recover using standard mercury treatment. Shows that he was willing to try radical, scientific methods in the name of research.

  • The Lunar Society
    Ch F-X ang PD e w Click to buy NOW! w m o w c .d k. ocu-trac The Lunar Society The Lunar Circle or Society was an informal club or association of significant scientific men which flourished in and around Birmingham for nearly forty years. Origins: The origins of the Lunar Society lie in a pattern of friendships that emerged in the late 1750s. Erasmus Darwin and Matthew Boulton first met in early 1757, possibly through family connections, as Boulton's mother's family were patients of Darwin; or possibly though shared friendships, as both were admirers of the printer John Baskerville and friends of the astronomer and geologist John Michell, a regular visitor to Darwin's house in Lichfield1. Darwin was a physician and poet who had studied at Cambridge and Edinburgh; Boulton had left school at fourteen and started work in his father's business making metal goods in Birmingham at the age of 21. Despite their different backgrounds they shared a common interest in experiment and invention, and their activities would show Darwin's theoretical understanding and Boulton's practical experience to be complementary2. Soon they were visiting each other regularly and conducting investigations into scientific subjects such as electricity, meteorology and geology3. Erasmus Darwin Matthew Boulton In 1758, first Boulton and then Darwin became friends of the Derby-based clockmaker John Whitehurst. The link began with Whitehurst supplying clock movements to Boulton’s manufacturing operation but then extended into other experiments. Boulton, Darwin and Whitehurst were in turn introduced by Mitchell to Benjamin Franklin on his visit to Birmingham in July 1758 "to improve and increase Acquaintance among Persons of Influence"4, and Franklin returned in 1760 to conduct experiments with Boulton on electricity and sound5.

  • A Memoir of William and John Hunter
    time and the bodies were dissected, or “an anatomy was held” in a hall crowded with eager witnesses, by a demonstrator, the students having no chance to do any practical dissection with their own hands. In 1752 an act was passed providing for the dissection of the bodies of all persons executed for murder in Great Britain. The ostensible purpose of the Act was to make the penalty of homicide more infamous and similarly, in order to diminish the increasing prevalence of burglary and highway robbery, then still punishable with death, a Bill was introduced into the House of Commons in 1796, providing that the bodies of persons executed for those crimes should also be handed over for dissection. But, on the ground that it annihilated the difference between murder and the lesser forms of crime (though the older grants had failed to recognize any such difference) the Bill failed to secure acceptance. It was not until 1832 that the so-called Warburton Anatomy Act was passed providing a legal way in which an ample supply of anatom- ical material could be secured by all reputable schools and teachers. Peachey gives a list of the private teachers of anatomy in England between 1700 and 1746 with some account of their activities.

ABSTRACT The story of Thomas Day’s attempt to educate a young girl according to the theories of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, with the aim of marrying her, has often been referred to as a footnote in Enlightenment history. However, the girl chosen by Day, Sabrina Sidney, has never been placed at the centre of any historical enquiry, nor has the experiment been explored in any depth. This study places Sabrina at its centre to investigate its impact on her and to examine the intellectual and societal debates that informed Thomas Day’s decision to educate a wife. This thesis argues that Sabrina Sidney was in a constant state of construction, which changed depending on a myriad of factors and that constructions of her were fluid and flexible.

  • Nature Dissected, Or Dissection Naturalized? the Case of John Hunter's Museum
    museum and society, 6(2) 135 Nature dissected, or dissection naturalized? The case of John Hunter’s museum Simon Chaplin* The Royal College of Surgeons of England/King’s College London Abstract At his death in 1793 the museum of the surgeon and anatomist John Hunter contained over thirteen thousand specimens and objects. Although many were the familiar stuff of natural history, the core of the collection consisted of over seven thousand human or animal body parts or ‘anatomical preparations’. They were testament to and the product of Hunter’s assiduous work as a dissector of dead bodies; a practice which, though becoming more widespread among medical practitioners, nevertheless possessed discomforting associations of personal and public impropriety. This paper explores the way in which the display of anatomical preparations served to legitimize dissection as a mode of natural historical inquiry, and by extension defused some of the social and moral anxieties surrounding the activities of private anatomy teachers in Georgian London. Keywords: anatomy, anatomical museums, natural history, dissection, public display One day last week Mr John Hunter opened his very curious, extensive and valuable museum at his house in Leicester-fields, for the inspection of a considerable number of the literati…. What principally attracted the notice of the cognoscenti was Mr Hunter’s novel and curious system of natural philosophy running progressively from the lowest scale of vegetable up to animal nature. Mr Addison has a paper upon this subject in the Spectator, in which, as a moralist, he touches with his usual feeling and perspicuity; but is reserved for Mr Hunter’s genius and ardent zeal in his profession to develop, in this instance, the wisdom of Providence in its works.
