This biography is part of a series of historical obituaries, originally published in print. As products of their time periods, some biographies contain language which is inappropriate and offensive and present biased accounts of physicians’ lives and work that do not disclose unethical and discriminatory behaviour. As an establishment organisation, the RCP, its members, and the way they are written about, have often reflected societal power structures that favour dominant groups. We aim to redress these biases through ongoing work.

Below is the biography as originally published in 1878.

Charles Bale, M.D., was born in London, and educated at Jesus college, Cambridge. He proceeded M.B in 1716, and was created M.D. 6th October, 1717, on the occasion of king George I paying a visit to the university. He was admitted a fellow of the Royal Society in 1719. Dr. Bale was admitted a Candidate of the College of Physicians 30th September, 1718, and a Fellow 30th September, 1719. He was Censor in 1723, and delivered the Harveian oration for 1729. He was elected physician to the Charterhouse 13th July, 1725, and died at his house in Charterhouse-square 17th September, 1730.
