Provenance: with the bookplate and ownership signature of Edward Angas Johnson 1873-1951 sometime City Health Officer of Adelaide who is mentioned in accounts of the controversial autopsies that led to William Ramsay Smith's suspension from his position as City Coroner following charges of mutilating human bodies. In addition to numerous ink annotations Johnson has filled this volume with approximately 40 articles clipped from newspapers some of them lengthy. Most date from the 1920s and they relate to coronial cases involving Dr Smith and to controversy surrounding coronial processes and powers in South Australia. William Ramsay Smith 1859-1937 physician anthropologist coroner plagiarist and trafficker in human remains: 'In August 1903 he was suspended from his coronial duties following charges of misusing human bodies. The government set up another board of inquiry. Smith was cleared and his painstaking research commended; but while remaining coroner and head of the health department he had to relinquish his hospital and other duties because of possible conflict of interests. Perhaps uniquely for Australian coroners Smith made medical statements from the bench which were pedagogical informed incisive and objective. He wrote "A Manual for Coroners" 1904 long regarded as a standard text' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography' giving a somewhat sanitised account of his career. Ramsay Smith's 'main interest lay in postmortem research for "medical purposes" and he used his positions to illicitly dissect and remove human remains. Witnesses described how Smith would practise with a .303 rifle on corpses at the mortuary of Adelaide Hospital. Outside it was not unusual to see the head of an Aboriginal in a kerosene tin waiting to be sent to DJ Cunningham professor of anatomy at Edinburgh where Smith donated the majority of remains - including organs skin tongues and male genitalia - over at least a 15-year period' Claire Scobie 'The Observer Magazine' 2009.
