Daniel Noble (1810–1885) was an English physician. A friend of surgeon James Braid, he is distinguished for his contributions to the study of mental illness and epidemic diseases.

Life

He was a Roman Catholic, born 14 January 1810, the son of Mary Dewhurst and Edward Noble of Preston, Lancashire, a descendant of a Yorkshire Catholic family. Apprenticed to a Preston surgeon named Thomas Moore, Noble was in time admitted a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and a licentiate of Apothecaries Hall. In 1834 he began to practise in Manchester, becoming a specialist in mental illness.[1]

Noble was President of the Manchester Phrenological Society from 1835 to 1838 but had turned away from the subject by the early 1840s, a time that coincided with his rise in social and professional status and also the general realisation that phrenology was unlikely ever to be accepted by the British Association for the Advancement of Science.[2]

In 1842 he who wrote the anonymous article titled "True and False Phrenology" in the aftermath of an address of seismic proportions, given by William Collins Engledue in 1842, that significantly split the Phrenological Association and led to Noble's own resignation from it.[3]

Noble dropped phrenological ideas completely in 1846 after criticism from William Benjamin Carpenter, who favoured the theory of brain physiology.[4] That criticism came in a review of Noble's Brain and Its Psychology and his renunciation was formally recorded in his Elements of Psychological Medicine, published in 1853.[5]

Noble's views on mental illness influenced the terminology introduced by Henry Monro.[6]

On 9 February 1847, Noble assisted his friend, Manchester surgeon James Braid,[7] to (successfully) conduct a mastectomy, using inhalation ether as an anaesthetic agent.[8] Braid was, perhaps, one of the first thirty surgeons in the U.K. ever to use inhalation ether as an anaesthetic.[9]

Noble died at Manchester on 12 January 1885.[1]
