English surgeon and teacher John Hilton (1805-1878) was called
"Anatomical John" for his impressive knowledge of the human anatomy. He was
especially advanced in his understanding of the brain and spinal column. Hilton
practiced at Guy's Hospital, and lectured for the Royal College of Surgeons.
His series of lectures on "Rest and Pain" (1859-1862) are still in print and
still widely consulted. Hilton was Surgeon Extraordinary to Queen
Victoria. Normal mailing folds. Lightly creased and toned. Ink note (unknown
