The Anatomist Dissected: or the man-midwife finely brought to bed. Being an examination of the conduct of Mr. St. Andre. Touching the late pretended rabbit-bearer; as it appears from his own narrative.

"The Anatomist Dissected: or the man-midwife finely brought to bed" by Lemuel (Surgeon) Gulliver is a humorous yet critical look at a strange happening from long ago, using the story of a surgeon fooled by a rabbit birthing claim to explore the foolishness that can happen when people believe unbelievable things. The book tells of how a surgeon, Mr. St. André, was tricked into thinking a woman gave birth to rabbits, and Gulliver examines how St. André couldn't see through her trick. By pointing out the ridiculous reasons and St. André's lack of knowledge, Gulliver pokes fun not only at the surgeon but also at people's interest in crazy stories. In the end, the story cautions that believing things without proof can be hazardous.
