I understood besides, that every thing that was done must be very unsatisfactory, unless the proper dimensions of the different parts were carefully marked. But here there were great difficulties to be overcome.

For, in the first place, the parts must all be accurately measured, and afterwards their dimensions marked in the figures. Besides, supposing this could be ever so well done, yet there were other obstacles hardly to be surmounted. To be sure it is very evident, that whatever is the position of the body or limb, the same it must be represented in the figure, provided the dimensions of the parts are accurately marked.

But there are some parts which can be put into proper positions and measured; such as the head, arms, hands, legs, and feet: and others which cannot; as the trunk, and neck. By this means it must happen, that these last must be expressed in an improper position, unless it be left to the skill of the ingraver to correct, which I did not chuse to do, for fear of a mistake, as he could not demonstrate to me that he was sure of doing it right. And provided they could all have been put into proper positions, yet if upon searching and handling the muscles, or from any other cause, the first position of the part should in the least be changed, it appeared hardly possible to replace it in such a manner, as that every thing should exactly correspond to those which had beers before taken off.

Besides, as was sufficiently evident, one and the same body could never do for the whole, and others would either not correspond, or, if they should, could they be put so exactly into the same situation, as that all the dimensions could be accurately expressed.

All 80 of the great 18th-century descriptive anatomist's original copperplate engravings, containing over individual illustrations, of the muscles and bones of the human body are rendered individually and in related groups from varying perspectives. The eighteenth-century practitioners of anatomy saw their own period as 'the perfection of anatomy'. This book looks at the investigation of anatomy in the 'long' eighteenth century in disciplinary terms.

This means looking in a novel way not only at the practical aspects of anatomizing but also at questions of how one became an anatomist, where and how the discipline was practised, what the point was of its practice, what counted as sub-disciplines of anatomy, and the nature of arguments over anatomical facts and priority of discovery. In particular pathology, generation and birth, and comparative anatomy are shown to have been linked together as sub-disciplines of anatomy.

At first sight anatomy seems the most long-lived and stable of medical disciplines, from Galen and Vesalius to the present. But Cunningham argues that anatomy was, like so many other areas of knowledge, changed irrevocably around the end of the eighteenth century, with the creation of new disciplines, new forms of knowledge and new ways of investigation. The 'long' eighteenth century, therefore, was not only the highpoint of anatomy but also the endpoint of old anatomy.
