Details:
Educated at the combined hospitals of Guy's and St Thomas's, where he applied himself to surgery with such zest as to become a favourite dresser of Sir Astley Cooper. Yet he was not related to his famous namesake, under whom he acquired a sound practical knowledge of surgery. He was intimately connected during his whole career with the Society of Apothecaries, serving for several years as its representative on the General Medical Council, and being twice elected Master of the Society. He practised at Brentford, where his activities were extensive, lucrative, and arduous. At one time he was Surgeon to the King of Hanover, and for eighteen years to Hanwell Asylum. He died at Brentford on Saturday, June 23rd, 1877. His son, Clarence Cooper (qv), became Deputy Surgeon General in the Indian Medical Service.
