Edward Grainger

Edward Grainger

Edward Grainger (1797–1824), teacher of anatomy, and dresser to Sir Astley Cooper. Grainger opened an anatomical school in Webb Street, Southwark, London in 1819 after his offer to teach at Guy's Hospital was rejected. The school was highly successful until the College of Surgeons changed their by-laws to squeeze the independent schools. The Webb St school was continued by Edward's brother Richard Dugard Grainger after Edward's early death. ["The concise DNB" (Dictionary of National Biography): volume 1 to 1900.
