Re: Monro's academic feud with William Hunter over priority in understanding the nature of the lymphatic system ending with the discovery of Francis Glisson's work, see



It was important enough to Monro's reputation at the time and historical legacy it should probably be addressed more here, as should his revival of the use of mercury for anatomical studies. Note that all of Hunter, Glisson, and Hoffmann's pages should be expanded to talk about their importance to understanding the lymphatic system too: all are currently mum on the point. — Llywelyn II   20:55, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
