Fine hardcover book in fine dust jacket; never having been read and as new, the book is clean, tight, square and free of any markings; unclipped dust jacket is in similarly fine condition; book and jacket protected by newly applied Brodart clear cover; 220 pages including index, bibliography, and endnotes; illustrated with 25 black & white photographs and drawings. "This book tells the scandalous story of how medical men obtained the corpses upon which they worked before the use of human remains was regulated." The author keys in especially on how these unregulated disections were practiced in the 18th Centiry in the Penal colony of Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania). A compeling historical narrative on a difficult sublect matter!
