Headlong Hall
''Headlong Hall'' is a novella by Thomas Love Peacock, his first long work of fiction, written in 1815 and published in 1816.
As in his later novel ''Crotchet Castle'', Peacock assembles a group of eccentrics, each with a single monomaniacal obsession, and derives humor and social satire from their various interactions and conversations. The setting is the country estate of Squire Harry Headlong Ap-Rhaiader, Esq., in Wales.
As part of Mr. Cranium the phrenologist's announcement of his lecture, the author coins the words ''osteosarchaematosplanchnochondroneuromuelous'' and ''osseocarnisanguineoviscericartilaginonervomedullary''. They refer to the structure of the human body; they are adjectives compounded by stringing together classical terms that describe the body, using ancient Greek terms for the first word and Latin for the second.
