Excerpt from Catalogue of the Wistar, or Anatomical Museum of the University of Pennsylvania Some very finished lymphatic preparations are of domestic origin. The models of wood were executed by Mr. Rush, a distinguished carver of this city. In the year 1824, the Managers of the Pennsylvania Hospital, with a kindness which has met with the highest commendation, gave to the University their Anatomical Cabinet, consisting in preparations - in models of wax made by Dr. Chovet - and in plaster casts and crayon drawings, which were originally sent to this country by Dr. Fothergill, of London, in 1762.
