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.
Thomas Foster Barham, M.B., of Queen’s college, Cambridge, of 1820, was admitted an Extra-Licentiate of the College of Physicians 8th November, 1821. He practised for some years in Exeter, and died at High-week, co. Devon, on the 3rd March, I869, aged seventy-four.
We owe to his pen—
The Enkheiridion of Hehfaisticon concerning Metres and Poems, translated into English, and Illustrated by Notes and a Rhythmical Notation. With Prolegomena on Rhythm and Accent. 8vo. Lond.1843.
