ABSTRACT
Christopher Lawrence has described Hunter as one of the founders of the literature devoted to characterizing any form of anatomy teaching that was not based on the Paris Manner. The spread of anatomy schools, first in Paris and then in London, particularly increased the prestige of surgery. Glasgow University gave William Hunter an MD and he maintained strong ties with the faculty there throughout his life. Hunter showed some of his intricate handmade preparations in order to rouse students' curiousity about what could be found in the body and how it could be preserved. William Hunter addressed the issue of pain in two ways. In the final drawing she is shown empty with her dissected womb laying next to her. He struggled with the feelings caused by smelling, seeing, cutting up, and sleeping below freshly dug up and decaying corpses. This informs the head, gives dexterity to the hand, and familiarises the heart with a sort of necessary inhumanity.
