Thomas Inman

Thomas Inman

Thomas Inman (1820-1876) was a house-surgeon to the Royal Infirmary. [Information published in "The Dictionary of National Biography, Vol. X." On-line article [http://inman.surnameweb.org/sketches/dictnary10.htm] accessed June 25, 2008.] In his lifetime he had numerous medical papers published. Perhaps most notably, however, he was an amateur mythologist, and as such had several non-medical papers published, including "Ancient Pagan and Modern Christian Symbolism," first published in 1869 and then again in 1875. [Inman, Thomas. "Ancient Pagan and Modern Christian Symbolism," Second Edition. New York: J. W. Bouton, 706 Broadway. 1875. ISBN-13: 9781420929874]

In "Ancient Pagan and Modern Christian Symbolism", doctor Inman elucidates the origins of some popularly-used symbols, some of them medical. Many of the symbols he discusses are recognizable even today.
