His book Recherches physiologiques sur la vie et la mort was first published in 1800. According to Garrison and Morton: "When Volta questioned the validity of experiments claiming to show responsiveness of an ex vivo heart devoid of blood flow and nervous connections Bichat obtained permission to experiment upon the freshly killed bodies of those guillotined during the French Revolution.

Lavater's development of a science of Physiognomy was illustrated by his fellow theologian & countryman Henry Fuseli in its original appearance in 1775 as PHYSIOGNOMISCHE FRAGMENTE. Fuseli illustrated Boydell's magnificent Shakespeare and his art was a precursor of the Romantic Movement Sybolism and Surrealism. He was a close friend of William Blake -who engraved a handful of those plates.
