Biographical History
English physician and classical scholar.
Epithet: MD; of Add MS 37222
Epithet: the younger., physician
Heberden (Cambridge University, M.D. 1739) was one of the most eminent English physicians of the 18th century. He studied at Cambridge and a London hospital and taught medicine at the University, lecturing in materia medica. He was a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians (1746), member of the Royal Society, and honorary member of the Royal Society of Medicine, Paris. He practiced for over thirty years in London and wrote careful notes on his cases, which formed the basis for his Commentaries on the History and Cure of Diseases, published posthumously by his son William Heberden the Younger. The Commentaries contain his original descriptions of angina pectoris and chicken pox; Heberden's account of angina led to its recognition as a distinct disease.
