History of the Trustees of the Hunterian Collection

"'Six years after the death of John Hunter in 1793 his collection was purchased by Parliament and entrusted to the care of the Corporation of Surgeons. Trustees were nominated; the minutes of their meetings form the basis of this history of the Hunterian Museum, that 'treasure of experience' which illustrates Hunter's theories on life and living. Minutes often make dry reading but Sir Victor Negus has succeeded in bringing life to the old records."--'History of the trustees of the Hunterian Collection' reviewed by Eric Riches in Proc R Soc Med (1966).
