 John Abernethy (Surgeon) - LoveToKnow 1911
JOHN ABERNETHY (1764-1831), English surgeon, grandson of John Abernethy (see above), was born in London on the 3rd of April 1764.
He attended the anatomical lectures of Sir William Blizard (1743-1835) at the London Hospital, and was early employed to assist as "demonstrator"; he also attended Percival Pott's surgical lectures at St Bartholomew's Hospital, as well as the lectures of John Hunter.
In this capacity he began to give lectures at his house in Bartholomew Close, which were so well attended that the governors of the hospital built a regular theatre (1790-1791), and Abernethy thus became the founder of the distinguished school of St Bartholomew's.

Hunter, unlike his contemporaries, to most of whom his philosophic habit of thought was a mystery, and whose books contained little else than relations of cases and modes of treatment, sought the reason for each phenomenon that came under his notice.
Hunter explained to them how he was situated, but promised to advance their request at the next board meeting at the hospital on the 16th of October.

Astley Cooper (1768-1843) a well known surgeon who was later knighted.  When Cooper arrived in London at the age of 16, he lived with Cline.  Cooper reported on Cline's surgery performed on the historian Edward Gibbon.  He commented that Cline "drew off six quarts of fluid" that developed from a testicular tumor.
