A Cabinet of Medical Curiosities
I read this for Victoriana research. An interesting collection of medical superstitions, but I found it a bit prurient and distasteful in places. In particular, it feels hypocritical of the author to condemn the exhibitors of Julia Pastrana while praising the genius of John Hunter, who deceptively obtained the bones of Charles Byrne after his death against his explicit wishes. It's well past time that the exhibits of Byrne and Crachami's skeletons should be properly interred.
