The 1832 Anatomy Act has received little attention from historians.1 This lack of interest is not surprising: a British Act of Parliament that aimed to increase the supply of corpses for medical students to cut up appears to warrant only the most minor comment. Certainly the other events of 1832 ? the Reform Crisis and cholera epidemic ? seem to be more worthy of the historian's attention than the mundane matter of obtaining dead bodies; undoubtedly they have helped obscure the Anatomy Act from the historian's point of view. Medical historians have, of course, touched on the Anatomy Act, but they have been primarily concerned with its place in the history of medical education in Britain. Charles Newman's opinion perhaps typifies their view
