	George Birkbeck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		George Birkbeck (1776-1841) was a doctor, academic, philanthropist and early pioneer in adult education.
		Born to a Quaker family in Settle, North Yorkshire, Birkbeck went to school in Sedbergh and then completed his training as a doctor in Edinburgh in 1799.
		The Mechanics Institute concept was quickly adopted in numerous other cities and towns across the UK and overseas, but his association with the ground-breaking London institution was marked by it being renamed the Birkbeck Literary and Scientific Institution in 1866 (now, as Birkbeck College, part of the University of London).
