'This Unrivalled Collection': The Hunterian’s first catalogue
The comprehensive volume described all the objects in the old Hunterian Museum, creating the first ever Hunterian catalogue and visitor guide. Laskey was an enigmatic character who served in the 21st Kirkcubright and Wigton Milita. He was also a collector, dealer and author in natural history and antiquities. As a donor to The Hunterian, Laskey was seen as supporter and contributor, as well as a commentator.
