Robert Hooper (physician)
Robert Hooper (1773–1835) was a British physician, known as a medical writer.
The son of John Hooper of Marylebone, he was born in London. After a course of medical study in London he was appointed apothecary to the Marylebone workhouse infirmary. He entered Pembroke College, Oxford, on 24 October 1796, graduated B.A. in 1803, M.A. and M.B. in 1804. He was prevented from proceeding to D.M. at the University of Oxford, but he was created M.D. of the University of St Andrews on 16 December 1805, and admitted licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians on 23 December 1805.
Settling in Savile Row, Hooper lectured there on the practice of medicine. He made a study of pathology, and formed a collection of illustrative specimens. He retired from practice in 1829, having made a fortune, and lived at Stanmore.
Hooper died in Bentinck Street, Manchester Square, on 6 May 1835, in his sixty-third year.
While still a practising physician, he was an industrious writer. His books sold well, and revised editions remained in print to the end of the century. Hooper wrote:
Drawings for the illustrations were made by John Howship, George Kirtland and John Stewart Jr.
