Details:
Born in February, 1814, the second son of William Langmore, MD, who at one time practised in Finsbury Square, EC. He was educated at St Paul's School and received part of his professional training at the London Hospital, after which he travelled, chiefly in Italy, as medical attendant to a young man, and then studied at the Paris medical schools. In 1838 his father recalled him to take a general practice in Upper George Street, Portman Square. In 1852 he removed to 20 Oxford Terrace, Hyde Park. In 1889 his son, John Wreford Langmore, MD, MRCS, who had joined him in partnership, died, and he retired to Shepherd's Bush Green. In 1865 he was President of the Harveian Society of London, and was first Hon Secretary of the Paddington Medical Book Society on its foundation in 1838, holding that post for fifty-one years (to 1889), when he was the sole survivor of the twelve original members. He was a Fellow of the Obstetrical Society of London (Member of Council 1861-1863, Vice-President), and a member of the Pathological and Clinical Societies; a man of refined and cultured tastes, endowed both by nature and education for success in his profession, he earned the respect and affection of a wide circle. He retired practically two years before his death owing to ill health, and died at 47 Shepherd's Bush Green, on September 29th, 1895, being then a patriarch of the profession in London. His photograph is in the Fellow's Album. On July 2nd, 1862, Drs George Harley and T H Tanner presented to the Obstetrical Society their interesting "Report on a Twin(?) Abortion exhibited to the Society by Dr Langmore". This was reprinted in 1863 from the *Transactions of the Obstetrical Socie
