Born in 1829 or 1830; studied at St George's Hospital, where he was House Surgeon, and afterwards acted as Resident Attendant to a nobleman who left him a handsome sum of money in recognition of his services. This led him to become FRCS, and he succeeded in being elected Assistant Surgeon to St George's Hospital without having served any probationary office. He also became Ophthalmic Surgeon to the Royal Westminster Ophthalmic Hospital and to the Eastern Counties Asylum for Idiots, the School for the Indigent Blind, the Hospital of St Elizabeth and St John, and Queen Anne's Royal Asylum. In due course he advanced to Surgeon at St George's Hospital, and whilst not a great or ambitious surgeon, he was practical and gained a large private practice. He was the students' friend, knew them by name and much of their circumstances, and taught clearly and simply. He practised at 2 Wilton Street, London, SW; his house became a veritable museum of pictures, coins, jewels, and medallions. For several years he was in failing health, and died on December 24th, 1895. His photograph is in the Fellows' Album.
