Life

The son of Robert Southey (1745–1792) by his wife, Margaret Hill (1752–1802), and younger brother of Robert Southey, the poet, he was born in Bristol on 18 January 1784. After education at private schools in and near Great Yarmouth, his brother Robert proposed to establish him in his house in London in order that he might study anatomy under Sir Anthony Carlisle at Westminster Hospital. The project fell through, and Henry studied surgery at Norwich under Philip Meadows Martineau (d. 1828), uncle of Harriet Martineau and one of the most distinguished Lithogists of his day - the two surgeons maintaining their professional relationship throughout their careers.[1] At Norwich Southey also he met William Taylor of Norwich, who interested him in other studies.Шаблон:Fact
