Stanley was one of the original fellows of the Royal College of Surgeons to St Bartholomew's Hospital where he was noted as a clinical teacher. He was appointed 'Surgeon Extraordinary' to the Queen in 1858 and President of the RCS in 1848 and 1857. Stanley's great strength lay in his teaching ability. The first edition of his manual was in 1818.

Pinnock was a publisher and educational writer. Came to London from Hampshire where he was a schoolmaster in 1817 and commenced a series of manuals of popular instruction which met with extraordinary success. Although very many copies must have been printed, this is the only one I have ever seen.
Very delicate printed paper cover in protective cover (stitched in printed boards as issued), some wear, internally good, minor foxing tanning.
Bookplate Ex Libris Anatomica KF Russell loosely pasted inside (140x86mm)
3) LAWRENCE, Sir William (1783-1867) 'Lectures on Comparative Anatomy, Physiology, Zoology and the Nature of Man' Pub. LONDON: John Taylor... 1838. Collation: Frontispiece, title, pp[iii]-iv, 396pp :: 12 plates.
This is a much expanded version of Lawrence's lectures published in 1816. Lawrence was President of the Royal College of Surgeons, made 'Serjeant-Surgeon' to Queen Victoria in 1858 and created a Baronet in 1867. His lectures were controversial for espousing that a literal translation of Genesis is inconsistent with biological fact, marking a shift toward modern anthropology and away from scripture.
