Not illustrated. 1856 Excerpt: ...who had perished by the guillotine. The most complete experiments, however, on record, are those carried out at Glasgow by Dr. Andrew Ure, 4th November, 1818, on the body of a recently executed criminal, a man of middle stature, about thirty years of age, athletic and muscular. The body had remained suspended for nearly an hour, no convulsive motion was' apparent at the moment of execution. The. body was Wilkinson's Galvanism, vol. ii. brought to the University about ten minutes after having been removed from the gibbet. What renders these terrible experiments the more valuable is the great philosophical circumspection and care with which they were conducted; all the dissections having been carefully made under the immediate superintendence of the Professor of Anatomy, Dr. Jeffrys. The battery consisted of 270 pairs of four-inch plates, charged with dilute nitro-sulphuric acid (68). Under these circumstances the following experiments were carried out; the annexed diagram, fig. 57, being taken to represent the general contour of the body. 134. 1. An incision was made at a, right under the occiput at the top of the spine, and the spinal marrow exposed. Another incision was made at b at the left-, -'-hip, and the great sciatic nerve passing there laid bare. Finally, a third incision was made at c at the heel. Connections being established through a and b with the zinc and copper extremities of the battery, all the muscles of the body became violently agitated by a sort of convulsive shivering, more especially on the left side. On removing the wire at b, to the heel at e, the knee, which had been previously bent, was thrown forward with such force as to overturn those who tried to restrain it. 2. An incision was now made at d, about three inches above the clavic..
