In the afternoon we visited the Theatrum Anatomicum, or as it is called here and as is also written up over the door, the Schola Anatomica. For what we in Germany name auditorium they call schola, for instance: they say schola theologica, medica, juridica, philosophica, &c., for our auditorium theologicum, &c. In reality it cannot be styled theatrum anat.anatomicum as there are no seats. It is merely a great hall in which objects of interest, which partly do not belong here at all, are hanging around the walls, as, for example, works of art and so on. It could rather be called natural history museum or art gallery. Borrichius in Epist. ad Barthol. Cent IV. Epist. XCII. p. 525, says with truth that it is not to be compared to the Leyden Theatrum Anatomicum, although there are many beautiful things to be found here. We noticed the following: — A disgusting big head or skull of a walrus with great long teeth. A strange abortion of a calf which had been carried by a cow for many years and at last saw the light of day thus malformed. Two small loaves from the siege of Oxford, now all wormeaten. In a case, all kinds of Indian and other articles of dress, amongst them those from Davis StreetStrait of which Benthem speaks, p. 327. Also many other trifles such as a pair of boots which belonged to Augustus King of Poland and Elector of Saxony. An Italian lock, that jealous husbands in Italy put on their wives, and such like. Several very large calculi of men and animals, amongst which was the one mentioned by Borrichius. It is said to weigh two pounds, but is not nearly so large as a child's head. It was found after her death in a woman from Woodstock, not far from here, and cut out. The great corn or clavus, of which Benthem treats on the above-mentioned page 327. It looks more like a big nail than a bunion or com. Dr. Plot mentions it in his Natural History of Oxfordshire. Further on is one of Queen Elizabeth's shoes without a heel. The lower jaw of a woman, which has a large growth like a walnut. She is said to have got this from severe tooth-ache. A cane or stick, hollow and filled inside with quicksilver, such as some of the traitors carried to kill Charles I. When the traitors were discovered, all the prisoners were found to have the same weapons. A petrified, or rather incrusted, skull even larger than the one we had seen in Cambridge, though the stone or material was not so firm as in that, and the cranium was no longer whole. A plaster of Paris cast of a human foot which in place of toes had only two knobs or excrescences. The junior Librarian, Tho. Hearne, a young man still and a scholar, who is industrious and highly cultured, is in charge of this Schola Anatomica and shows it to strangers, but in these matters he is such an ignoramus that he gave out that this cast was the natural foot itself.
