Just wondering how much money grave robbers were making in Britain (or indeed anywhere in Europe) during the 18th/19th Centuries? I understand that their work was very risky and they were frequently assaulted by members of the public. They would often sell to the black market or sometimes physicians/researchers.
Even a very rough idea would be fantastic! There is literally no information about this on the internet :(
EDIT: This is research for a story I am writing. Nothing dodgy!
