A century of medical history captured in a single volume.

This appendix presents descriptions of the Pathological Specimens added to the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons of England during the year ending July 1, 1904, as compiled by Samuel G. Shattock, the museum’s pathological curator.

Deliberately focused on actual specimens, the entries span a wide range of cases—from nervous system and bone disorders to abdominal and reproductive organ findings. Each description offers the essential details of the specimen, its origin, and the context of its donation or presentation, reflecting the careful cataloging of early 20th‑century pathology.

Entries cover a broad spectrum of conditions, including brain, vertebral, and nerve findings, with notes on development, disease, and injury.
Several specimens illustrate reproductive and urinary tract conditions, as well as digestive and metabolic issues observed in humans and animals.
Some items document postmortem findings, surgical histories, and the practical details of specimen preservation and display.
The collection also includes unusual or illustrative cases that shed light on the historical practice of pathology and museum curation.

Ideal for readers interested in medical history, pathology, and the archival work that preserves surgical science for study and public education.
