About the author
Born in 1846, James Shuter was a British surgeon and Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. Reliable catalog and biographical records connect him with nineteenth-century medical teaching and writing, especially in anatomy.
He is best known for his work with the surgeon Luther Holden on books including Human Osteology and Landmarks, Medical and Surgical. These works were designed to make anatomy useful at the bedside and in the dissecting room, which helps explain why his name still appears in library catalogs and historical medical collections.
Shuter died in 1883, still relatively young. Although not a widely known literary figure in the usual sense, he left a lasting mark as a medical author whose contributions supported the training of generations of students.
