A Parody on "Mary's Ghost;" or, The Doctors and Body-snatchers. / A Pathetic Tale, With Numerous Additions.

A comic parody presents a grieving ghost who informs her companion that her grave was violated and her remains have been carried off by body‑snatchers to surgeons, anatomical depots, and collectors. The poem catalogues, in a mock‑pathetic tone, the dispersal of specific body parts—brains, eyes, limbs, skull, hair, and internal organs—across named practitioners and institutions, exposing the market for cadavers. Through jaunty rhythm, local allusions, and darkly playful imagery, the piece satirizes the commercialized anatomy trade, patent graveyards, and public unease about dissection while blending macabre detail with humorous social commentary.
