 Introduction
William Hunter (1718-1783), physician and collector, was unique amongst his contemporaries in several ways, not least in having had the foresight to bequeath his entire museological collections and library to his alma mater, thereby avoiding their dispersal in the salerooms.
Hunter’s library alone, comprising some 10,000 volumes, not only augmented the University’s stock by fifty percent at a stroke, but also brought distinction and character to an adequate, but unremarkable academic collection.
Although Hunter did not publish a similar illustrated work on general anatomy, he was active in teaching the subject, holding public dissections and also lecturing to artists at the Royal Academy of Arts, the first anatomist to do so.
