Anatomists
THE ancient Anatomists must have felt a zeal for the science which makes the imagination shudder. It was nothing less than dissecting men alive; for this purpose, the bodies of criminals were devoted. This was the exercise of Herophilus, an ancient Physician, who Tertullian very justly treats as a Butcher; or as we might say in the present age, a Cannibal.
