Mayhew, Edward (1813?-1868) (1813? – 1868)

« Selon la notice de la Bibliothèque nationale de France, Edward Mayhew a été un homme de théâtre avant de devenir vétérinaire. Schrader confirme qu’il a été diplômé passé trente ans à Londres et qu’il fut rapidement nommé Répétiteur du cours d’anatomie grâce à son zèle (il raconte, dans une de ses préfaces, comment il a découvert des muscles non encore nommés pendant une dissection). Ses cours furent très suivi. Mais il démissionna suite à un malentendu avec Sponner, le professeur d’anatomie. Il continua à enseigner en donnant des cours privés. Il réussit néanmoins son examen et fut ensuite nommé membre du Conseil de la Royal Society of Veterinarians. Il a contribué à la revue The Veterinarian . » Bibliothèque nationale de France
