Excerpt from Hygiène Publique, ou Mémoires sur les Questions les Plus Importantes de l'Hygiène Appliquée aux Professions Et aux Travaux d'Utilité Publique, Vol. 2
Les notions historiques que nous possédons sur la vie des premiers anatomistes qui ont étudié leur art dans Paris, nous montrent les obstacles que l'ignorance et les préjugés de leur époque apportèrent aux recherches que nécessitait la science dont ils jetaient les premiers fondemens. Ce n'est qu'à la dé robée, et dans les ténèbres, qu'ils firent les découvertes qui sont aujourd'hui l'objet de notre admiration, et qui ont rendu cê lèbres leurs' noms et l'époque Où ils vécurent. C'est pour com poser un squelette que Vésale passait des nuits entières dans les charniers du cimétière des Innocens, au risque des plus grands dangers. Pluszt'ard, le même anatomiste disputant aux vautours et autres animaux carnassiers, les restes inanimés des suppliciés, jetait les bases de la science, en ne quittant pas les fourches patibulaires de Montfaucon. On sait quelle fut la fin malheureuse de cet homme célèbre, que la proteo tion des' plus grands princes ne put soustraire à la haine et à l'animadversmn qu'il s'était attirées.

The book analyzes the bureaucratic challenges of the individuals involved in establishing and regulating the anatomy halls of the period, discussing the sometimes contradictory goals of medical education and public health.
