This text serves as an apology and defense regarding the controversial practice of anatomical disinterment for educational purposes. The work reflects the societal and legal challenges faced by medical practitioners in obtaining human bodies for study, emphasizing the necessity of such practices in the advancement of medical science. In this book, Cooke addresses the backlash he faced after he was accused of unlawfully disinterring a body. He explains the circumstances leading to the incident, including his need for a subject for anatomical lectures he was conducting. Throughout the text, he elaborates on the importance of anatomy as the foundation of medical knowledge and urges a more lenient public perspective on dissection. He argues that the benefits of anatomical education far outweigh the moral discomfort surrounding disinterment, advocating for legal reforms that would facilitate the acquisition of unclaimed bodies for medical study, thereby improving medical practice and public health.
