The Morbid Anatomy of Some of the Most Important Parts of the Human Body by Matthew Baillie (1761-1823), published in London in 1793, was the first systematic treatise on pathology, and the first work on the subject in English. Baillie, the nephew of John and William Hunter, based most of his descriptions on observations he made from specimens preserved in John Hunter's medical museum. Though portions of Hunter's museum were lost in World War II, what survived is preserved in the Royal College of Surgeons of London.
