[Frankenstein] What would happen if Dr. Frankenstein had published his work?

What if Victor Frankenstein (from the original novel) made his work public? How does this affect early 19th century Europe? Are more creatures made? What purpose would they serve?

I think the creature was more of a proof-of-concept that the dead can be reanimated. It likely would have gone much better on a recently deceased individual, rather than a monster made up of cut up cadavers. The most useful application might be the ability to perform complex surgery on a dead body before reanimating them. Not having to worry about killing someone during a surgical procedure opens up all kinds of possibilities for early surgeons, and likely advances medical science much more quickly than  our timeline.
