"An Examination of the Imposture of Ann Moore, Called the Fasting Woman of Tutbury" is a book written by Alexander Henderson in 1813. The book is a detailed account of the life and claims of Ann Moore, who became famous in the early 19th century for her supposed ability to survive without food for long periods of time. Henderson, a physician, was skeptical of Moore's claims and set out to investigate them. In the book, he presents his findings, which include interviews with Moore and her family, as well as medical examinations and experiments. Henderson ultimately concludes that Moore's fasting was a hoax and that she was able to survive by secretly consuming food. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th century medical investigation and the phenomenon of public fascination with unusual claims.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
