AN ACCOUNT OF THE DISSECTION OF HIS HIGHNESS WILLIAM Duke of GLOCESTER Drawn up by Doctor H. and Sign'd by Him and by the Surgeons From the Original Letter that was sent over to his Majesty in Holland London Printed for J. Nutt near Stationers-Hall 1700. AN ACCOUNT OF THE DISSECTION OF HIS HIGHNESS WILLIAM Duke of GLOCESTER UPon the Death of his Highness William Duke of Glocester which happened on Monday July the Twenty Ninth about Midnight The Right Honourable the Earl of Marleborough One of their Excellencies the Lords Justices of England and Governour to His late Highness was pleased to give order That the Body should be Opened Accordingly the Surgeons appointed by His Lordship whose names are subscribed in the presence of Doctor Hannes who was commanded to assist at the Operation and of several other Spectators made the Dissection and afterwards jointly with the Doctor gave in the following Report of it on Wednesday July the Thirty First 1700. 1. Surface of the Body On inspection of the outward Surface of the Dukes Body His Head Chest Abdomen and Arms appear'd tainted and livid beyond what is usual His Thighs and Leggs not much altered from their proper colour 2. The Abdomen was first opened and these Observations made upon the Parts Contained The Omentum was found as is natural Belly The Gutts from the Rectum inclusively upwards to the Duodenum had the common appearances excepting only that a few inflammatory Spots were seen dispers'd upon the Small Gutts and that the Plexus Glandulares of the same Gutts were become Florid and therefore more conspicuous than is usual The Duodenum and Stomach were highly inflamed especially the Stomach which had in its Cavity Wind and a small quantity of Liquor In the Pancreas Spleen Liver and Bladder of Gall was nothing remarkable Only the Spleen and Liver were more than ordinary Livid The Kidneys carried a colour deeper than is common besides which they were not noted to have any thing Preternatural As neither had the Glandulae Renales nor the Ureteres nor the Urinary Bladder nor the Urine express'd from the Bladder 3. Next after the Abdomen the Thorax Chest or Chest was examined Here the Pleura was inflamed to the most intense degree The Diaphragm and Mediastinum and Pericardium were thought not to differ from the constitution given 'em by Nature excepting only that the Diaphragm was something inflamed The Humor of the Pericardium was reddish not without a mixture of Blood And even the Thorax and Abdomen were judged to have more Blood in their Cavity than could well proceed from the mouths of the Vessels cut asunder by the Knife at the time the respective Venters were laid open The Heart was extremely Flaccid and weak in its Texture The Right Ventricle had very little Blood and the Left was altogether Empty The Lungs on both sides were filled with Blood to the height of an Inflammation 4. Neck The Neck was Swoll'n And upon Dissection the inclosed Parts appear'd such as they are observed in Bodies strangled At the place where the Jugulars arise above the Claviculae the Inflammation approach'd very near to a Mortification The Glandulae Thyreoideae were almost black with the contain'd Blood and being put into Scales were found above Five Drachms in weight The Gulet was much Inflamed the Wind-pipe also was affected in the same kind especially the upper part of it call'd the Larynx In the Larynx the Membranes that join the Cartilages Cricoides and Thyreoides were very dark with the Inflammation The Membrane that lines the Epiglottis at the root of the Tongue was also Inflamed insomuch that the Glandulae Miliares of it which are scarce visible at other times were here much distended and very conspicuous 5. Throat In the Mouth we found the Palate inflamed as also the Uvula the Membrane of which was swell'd The Almonds of the Ear in the Throat were swell'd and had in them Purulent matter There being press'd out of one of 'em as much Corruption as fill'd a Tea-spoon 6. Last of all The Head was opened Head and out of the First and Second Ventricle of the Cerebrum were taken about four Ounces and an Half of a Lympid Humor In this Region nothing besides was found particular or different from the natural state of it Signed Windsor Castle July 31. 1700.
