Lizar passes on the recommendation of Dr Sanders of a Dr Cobbold, who is looking for an appointment in Dublin. Lizar reports Cobbold to be a 'good anatomist, [who] puts up morbid specimens of anatomy exceedingly well'. Lizars then recounts a recently created morbid specimen of his own, which he is very pleased with. In a postscript Lizars offers to send Butcher his recent publication, if he has not done so already. |
