Book Description
Excerpt from The Victoria University of Manchester Medical School The foundation of the Manchester Infirmary in 1752 was the first incident in the development of the University of Manchester School of Medicine of the present day. In this year Mr. Thomas Bancroft, a prominent citizen, and Mr. Charles White, a young and enthusiastic surgeon, who, as a student in London and Edinburgh, had seen the immense benefit which hospitals were to the sick poor and to the study of medicine, and who had just settled in practice in the town, opened a hospital for twelve patients. So successful was the venture that a larger building had to be provided, and this was erected on the site in Piccadilly where, with its various enlargements, it has been in constant use and known as the Manchester Royal Infirmary until 1908. Whilst apprentices were at once admitted to the practice of the hospital, it was not until 1783 that lectures on the ancillary sciences of anatomy, physiology, and chemistry were delivered under the auspices of the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society by Charles White, his son Thomas White, and Thomas Henry respectively. The lectures on anatomy and physiology for some reason or other were not a success, and after a couple of sessions were discontinued. But from this date on-wards for the next twenty years, other courses on the same subjects were delivered irregularly, the best known lecturers, in addition to Charles White and Thomas Henry, being John Ferriar, Peter Mark Roget, and William Henry, all men whose names are still honoured.
