1763 "Genera Morborum in Auditorum Usum" (a general classification of diseases) by Linnaeus (Carl von Linne, 1707-78, Swedish naturalist) published in Upsala. In 1737 Linnaeus had published a botanical classification.
1763 Cont - 1771 1763 cont Manchester Lunatic Asylum founded. 1765 "Cowpox and Its Ability to Prevent Smallpox" by Jon Fewster (an apothecary of Thornbury) was submitted to the Medical Society of London, but was not published. See 1767. 1767 Turnpike Act (7 Geo.III, c.40) amended and reduced into one act the laws in force for regulating the turnpike roads. All over the country property owners were tabling plans to upgrade stretches of public highway that crossed their estates and sought to set up tollgates and charge fees. Typical fees were one penny for a horse, three pence for a coach and four to six pence for a heavily loaded cart. See 1773. "The Present Method of Inoculating for Smallpox" by Thomas Dimsdale (1712-1800, physician) published. Dimsdale's reputation and his inoculation of Catherine of Russia and her son helped to popularise inoculation in England. Dimsdale used material from the inoculated site of another patient. See 1796. Leeds Infirmary established. 1768 Royal Academy opened. William Hunter (1718-83, surgeon-accoucheur to the Middlesex and British Lying-in Hospitals, and first professor of anatomy at the Royal Academy) founded the private Windmill Street School of Medicine, London, where he lectured. Later lecturers included Matthew Baillie (1761-1823, physician to George III), Sir Benjamin Brodie (1783-1862, surgeon, and one time president of the Royal College of Surgeons and later of the Royal Society) and Sir Charles Bell (1774-1842, professor of surgery, Edinburgh). The School closed in 1831. 1769 Dispensary for sick children of the poor opened in Red Lion Square by George Armstrong (1719-1789, physician and author of "An Essay on the Diseases Most Fatal to Infants, 1767); later moved to Soho Square, closed in 1781. Seamen's Hospital, London, opened. See 1899. "Synopsis Nosologiae Methodicae" by William Cullen (1712-90, Edinburgh physician) published. Diseases were divided into fevers, neuroses, cachexias and local disorders. See 1839. Steam engine patented by James Watt (1736-1819, engineer). 1770 Population estimated to be 6.4 million. General Dispensary opened in Aldersgate, London, supported by JC Lettsom (1744- 1815, London physician). Subsequently dispensaries were opened in other parts of London and in other towns. See 1774, 1776 and 1777. Building of the Liverpool-Leeds canal across the Pennines began; completed in 1816. At the peak of the building of canals there were 4000 miles of inland waterways. 1771 "The Natural History of Human Teeth" by John Hunter (1728-93, surgeon at St George's Hospital, London) published; it started a revolution in the practice of dentistry. John Hunter has been called the father of scientific surgery. Sir Richard Arkwright (1732-92, engineer) built houses for his employees at Cromford. See 1776.
