About the author

John Arbuthnot

John Arbuthnot

1667–1735

A sharp-witted Scottish doctor, satirist, and scholar, he moved easily between medicine, mathematics, and literature in early 18th-century London. Best remembered now for his friendship with writers like Jonathan Swift and Alexander Pope, he also helped shape the enduring English character John Bull.
