 | | Scottish anatomist, born at Edinburgh in November 1774, the youngest son of the Rev. William Bell, a clergyman of the Episcopal Church of Scotland; among his brothers were the anatomist, John Bell, and the jurist, G. Bell. |
 | | These drawings, which are remarkable for artistic skill and finish, were taken from dissections made by Bell for the lectures or demonstrations he gave on the nervous system as part of the course of anatomical instruction of his brother. |
 | | The Royal Society of London awarded to him in 1829 the first annual medal of that year given by King George IV for discoveries in science; and when King William IV ascended the throne, Charles Bell received the honor of knighthood along with a few other men distinguished in science and literature. |
