FT. Ill. Sician, Dr. William Hunter, who was also a great anatomist. John, being delicate, had been allowed to grow up with very little education, and at twenty years of age he came up to London, a mere ignorant lad, to try and help his brother in his anatomical dissections. Here he soon showed that he had plenty of ability, for he learnt dissecting so rapidly that at the end of a year he was able to teach his brother's pupils, and before long he became one of the leading surgeons at St. George...'s Hospital, and had a large private practice. But though he made a great deal of money by his pro- fession, he spent it all upon his favourite study of anatomy, to which he devoted every spare moment. His great wish was to compare thoroughly the different parts of men and animals, so as to show how the life of each one of them is carried on. For this purpose he dissected and preserved in different ways all the bodies of animals upon which he could lay his hands. He bought up all the wild beasts that died in the Tower, where they were then kept, and any which he could procure from travelling menageries, and he even kept foreign animals himself in a piece of ground at Earl's Court, Brompton, that he might watch their habits and dissect their dead bodies.
