First Latin edition. - Adaptation of the highly impressive and detailed anatomical plates first published by the Dutch surgeon Govard Bidloo (1649-1713). Bidloo had already published his Anatomia Humani Corporis in Amsterdam in 1685; the illustrations were based on drawings by Gerard de Lairesse (1640-1711). Sales, however, were apparently quite slow, and much to Bidloo's displeasure, Cowper (1666-1709) acquired 300 complete sets of the plates from the publisher. He published these, along with a new text, under a new title and under his own name. His own contribution to the pictorial program consisted only of nine additional plates on myology, which he had drawn by Henry Cook (1642–1700) and engraved by Michiel van der Gucht (1660–1725)...References: Choulant 95 - Wellcome II, 401 - cf.

Leaf B1 signed A2 Title page printed in red and black Engraved title vignette The first 105 plates and the added engraved title page, all drawn by Gérard de Lairesse and engraved by Peter and Philip Van Gunst, gave rise to a controversy with Govard Bidloo as to Cowper's use of these plates from Bidloo's 1685 Anatomia humani corporis. The 9 final plates added by Cowper were drawn by Henry Cook and engraved by Michael van der Gucht.

Your letter comparing the books with which you have favor'd me for which I return you a thousand thanks, though dated the 15th last did not arrive here till yesterday. Joshua witheld it in hope of being able to send me my MSS well fuselied, but after all his hopes proved frustrate. The box reach'd me between 4 & 5 when I was on the way to the Hall where we dined; I had therefore no opportunity to open it til 10 at night, but I have this morning dispatched the little parcel thither addressed to Mr Frog. You are very good to think of me whether in an Oyster Cellar or elsewhere..'

'Is very likely that my new of Mr Johnsons first offer might be both preplex"d and infurious to Him&apos.  Cowper goes on to say 'I am very well contented with his second offer...

This letter is bound to page 11 of volume III. Letter to Samuel Rose Esq dated Dec 1 1791.

This letter is bound to page 23 of volume III. Letter to Samuel Rose Esq dated Sep 22 1792.  In this letter to Rose, Cowper discusses how behind on letters to dispatch he is. 'After our separation from you we paved our way with all defiance, stopping nowhere.&apos. He refers to 'Johnny in our last stage, was reized with a terrible cholic occasino'd by the Beef of Barney, which having drunk only a little wine after it, he could by no . digest.'  He goes on to discuss their trip. Letter to Samuel Rose Esq dated Oct 5 1792.
