  The eighteenth-century practitioners of anatomy saw their own period as 'the perfection of anatomy'. This book looks at the investigation of anatomy in the 'long' eighteenth century in disciplinary terms. It considers the practical aspects of anatomizing, the questions of how one became an anatomist, and where and how the discipline was practised.
