John Goodsir, born on this day in 1814...and I'm only mildly ashamed of putting a party hat on him!

Young Forbes, soon after his arrival in Edinburgh, found his way into Dr. Knox’s dissecting-room. The usual crowd of students who haunted it were absent at lecture, hospital, or elsewhere, and the living were represented only by Mr. Goodsir, who was busy in a corner, as lie tells me, dissecting a “ head.” The tall stranger walked up to him ; they soon got into earnest conversation, and found that they had many tastes in common. The fascination which Forbes exerted over all he came across did not fail on this occasion, and within a few days Mr. Goodsir visited his new friend at his lodgings.
