Richard Poole (1783–1871) was a Scottish physician,[1] psychiatrist, and phrenologist.[2]

Life

Poole was born in Edinburgh, on 27 November 1781, from an English background.[3] His father Matthew Poole (or Pool) owned a coffee house and hotel at 1 Princes Street and lived above.[4]

By 1800 his father is retired and living at Reid's Close on the Canongate in Edinburgh's Old Town.[5]

Poole studied Medicine and graduated M.D. at the University of St Andrews in 1805.[1] He was editor of the New Edinburgh Review, and published articles promoting phrenology in the early 1820s;[6] it existed 1821 to 1823.[7] Poole was also first editor of the Phrenological Journal.[8] Poole joined the editorial staff of the Encyclopædia Edinensis under James Millar.[9]

In 1820 he was living at 23 Broughton Street, a flat in Edinburgh's east end.[10]

From 1820 Poole campaigned for a new infirmary in Edinburgh.[11] In 1825 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh.[3] In the late 1830s he was a pioneer advocate of mental health reform,[12] and in 1838 he became superintendent of the Montrose Asylum, succeeding W. A. F. Browne. He remained at Montrose until 1845. He then kept a private asylum at Middlefield, Aberdeenshire.[3]

Poole died in Coupar Angus on 18 February 1870 aged 88 at the house of his daughter, Mrs Kirkwood.[3] He is buried with his wife in the churchyard of St. Machar's Cathedral in Aberdeen.

Works

  • An Essay on Education (1825).[13] In this work, from the Encyclopædia Edinensis, Poole acknowledges help in early life from Archibald Alison. He advocated education in cases of mental retardation.[14]
  • A Letter to Andrew Duncan, Senior, M.D. ... Regarding the Establishment of a New Infirmary (1825).[15] Pamphlet addressed to Andrew Duncan, the elder on the infirmary question; Duncan replied to the agitation for a new infirmary in a letter to William Fettes.[16]
  • Report on Examination of Medical Practitioners (1833)
  • Memoranda regarding the Royal Lunatic Asylum, Infirmary, and Dispensary, of Montrose (1841)[17]

He is credited with dramas, including "Willie Armstrong" performed in Edinburgh in 1829.[18][19]

Poole also wrote for the Edinburgh Encyclopædia and Encyclopædia Britannica.[3] A list of publications appeared in Scottish Notes and Queries.[20]

Family

An epitaph gives Jane Caird as Poole's wife; it also records his dates as 1781 to 1870.[21] Their children included Samuel Wordsworth Poole, a physician and episcopal clergyman.[22]

Artistic Recognition

A bust of Poole is held at the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh. It was donated by his daughter, Mrs Sandeman of Glasgow.[23]
