Transcription
Cowper encloses drawings of the human body’s blood vessels and nerves from the tables at the Royal Society Repository. He discusses anatomical works and hopes the Royal Society is pleased with the illustrations. Cowper was a surgeon and an anatomist, elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1699. He became embroiled in a plagiarism scandal in 1698 when he was accused of copying Govard Bidloos anatomical work (Monique Kornell, Cowper , William (1666/71710), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/6510, accessed 4 July 2013]).
