Trivia
In the book, Stevenson gives a detailed description of the layout of Dr Jekyll's home. It is identical to John Hunter's. Hunter, who was originally from Glasgow, a Scottish surgeon, one of the most distinguished scientists and surgeons of his day, and a grave-robber, had a beautiful town house on one street, where he welcomed his clients, which connected through to an anatomy theatre which then connected to another building in a separate street on the other side, through which it is reckoned thousands of cadavers were delivered for dissection.
