Thomas Joseph Pettigrew
The surgeon Thomas Pettigrew (1791–1865) was interested in all aspects of antiquity, and gained fame in London society through his mummy-unwrapping parties. His interest in the early history of medicine is evidenced by this work, published in 1844, which describes the various forms of superstition which medical science had always attracted.
