DESCRIPTION:When Robert Louis Stevenson settled on the former residence of
  a private medical lecturer as the setting for _The Strange Case of Dr Je
 kyll and Mr Hyde_ he tapped a rich seam of spatial metaphor. His choice m
 ay well have been informed by his own knowledge of the anatomy schools of
  London and Edinburgh.  In our First Natural History Cabinet of the Micha
 elmas term\, Simon Chaplin\, Senior Curator of the Hunterian Museum at the
  Royal College of Surgeons suggests that the spatial elements which lend t
 hemselves so neatly to Stevenson's tale of Victorian moral conflict origin
 ated in the management of an equally pressing disparity between the social
  and professional lives of the Georgian anatomist and naturalist John Hunt
 er (1728-1793).
