British Homeopathic Associations and Journals

October 17, 2008

There have been many British Homeopathic Societies and Associations, and many British homeopathic journals in the past, ancestors to our present day organisations. The following is a work in progress, listing them all.

In 1847, Henry Charles FitzRoy Somerset 8th Duke of Beaufort (1824-1899) was the President of the British Homeopathic Association (John James DrysdaleJohn Rutherford RussellRobert Ellis Dudgeon,  The British Journal of Homeopathy, (Arthur Hall & Co, 25 Paternoster Row, London; William Headland, 16 Princess Street Hanover Square, London; Henry Turner, 26 Piccadilly, Manchester; John Walker, 97 Bold Street, Liverpool; Maclachlan and Stewart & Co, Edinburgh, 1847).

The Annals and Transactions of the British Homeopathic Society and the London Homeopathic Hospital

Editors: Hugh Cameron, Richard Hughes, Frederick Hervey Foster Quin, John Rutherford Russell, Stephen Yeldham

The Association for the Protection of Homeopathic Practitioners and Students The Association for the Protection of Homeopathic Students and Practitioners was founded in 1851, at 82 Gloucester Place, Portman Square London, to defend Alfred Crosby Pope, who was refused his medical diploma at Edinburgh on the basis that he had converted to homeopathy.

The Association for the Protection of Homeopathic Students and Practitioners was also set up to counter the Brighton Resolutions put together by three hundred allopaths who maintained:

  • That homeopathy is utterly opposed to science and common sense, that it should in no way be countenanced or practiced.
  • That homeopaths have utilised the press to heap scorn upon allopaths.
  • That allopaths will not consult together with homeopaths.
  • That allopaths who consort with homeopaths, and those physicians who combine the two methods of treament should henceforth become anathema.
  • That a committe be formed to set out these principles as laws.
  • That this committe thanks Edinburgh for its stand against homeopathy, and to refuse diplomas to anathemised practitioners.
  • That these resolutions be printed and sent out to all medical schools and widely to the press.

A meeting was held immediately after the Manchester Guardian published an attack on homeopathy on 20th September 1851, and on the number of Reverend gentlemen who had come out to support it, stating baldly that Parsons were always quick to embrace quackery and were famous as ‘quack fanciers’ and for their support of charlatans, and reporting on the formation of the Association for the Protection of Homeopathic Students and Practitioners.

The article in the _Manchester Guardian_ included a condensed history of the dispute at Edinburgh, beginning with the conversion to homeopathy of William Henderson, a Professor of General Pathology at the University of Edinburgh, who was tasked to condemn homeopathy, but ended up a staunch advocate, becoming very influential in homeopathy, and debating many times with his professional colleague James Young Simpson.

James Young Simpson in his Homoeopathy: its tenets and tendencies, openly accused Thomas Roupell Everest of preaching homeopathy from the pulpit, asking plaintifly if the Clergy would allow Unitarians, Mormons or Mohammedens to preach their beliefs so? James Young Simpson accused John Rutherford Russell of using the Association for the Protection of Homeopathic Students and Practitioners to promote homeopathy ‘on the cheap’. William Henderson wrote _Homeopathy Fairly Represented _as a direct rebuttal of James Young Simpson’s attack on homeopathy.

This debate was taken up in America and in India.

The article in the _Manchester Guardian_ continued, explaining that Robert Douglas Hale had been alerted to the prejudice against homeopathy in Edinburgh, and had transferred to St. Andrews to obtain his graduation diploma, resulting in demand that he return it, which he did not_,_ though he was forced to leave the town.

The resultant furor that arose about Edinburgh’s refusal to grant a graduation diploma to Alfred Crosby Pope, stirred up by an article in _The Lancet, _lead immediately to the Brighton Resolutions.

The homeopathic practitioners in Manchester decided that enough was enough, and they proceeded to protest against a minority of allopaths deciding to issue ‘laws’ of practice and force them on the whole profession of medicine. A public meeting was held in Manchester, where William Armitage, Henry Dixon, Richard Durnford, William Philip Harrison, Walter R Johnson, George Stevenson Knowles, Alfred Crosby Pope, William W Scholefield, Charles Caulfield Tuckey, Arthur de Noe Walker and many others, decided that homeopathy required the protection of a Royal Charter or a Legal Enactment to protect it from their enemies, and they proposed that a Branch of the General Association for the Protection of Homeopathic Students and Practitioners be immediately set in motion, noting that in London an Association for the Protection of Homeopathic Students and Practitioners was already up and functioning.

The members of the London Association for the Protection of Homeopathic Students and Practitioners included George Edward Allshorn, George Atkin, Francis Black, James Dore Blake, James Chapman, John Chapman, Paul Francois Curie, John James Drysdale, Robert Ellis Dudgeon, George Fearon, Edward Hamilton, William Hering, C B Kerr, William Kingdon, Joseph Laurie, Thomas Robinson Leadam, William MacDonald, Richard Robert Madden, John Edward Norton, John Ozanne, John Rutherford Russell, David Wilson and many others. The London Association for the Protection of Homeopathic Students and Practitioners declared:

Within weeks, branches of the Association for the Protection of Homeopathic Students and Practitioners were set up in Bath, Brighton, Dublin, Edinburgh, Wickwar and reports of other branches’ formation came in daily to the British Journal of Homeopathy, and the following resolutions were inserted into the press.

The London Association for the Protection of Homeopathic Students and Practitioners declared that (in direct response to the Brighton Resolutions):

  • Homeopathy is thoroughly reconcilable with science and common sense, and that the thousands of medical men who have converted to homeopathy should give testament and precedent to its thorough investigation.
  • That people hostile to homeopathy are totally ignorant of its principles and steadfastly refuse to study and investigate it or witness its practice, despite numerous invitations to do so.
  • That despite the differences between homeopathy and allopathy, there is absolutely nothing to stop practitioners from either discipline consulting together.
  • That the resolutions of people hostile to homeopathy represent a tiny minority, and as such their views are worthless.

In 1852,  The Association for the Protection of Homeopathic Students and Practitioners came out again to defend Patrick A Brady, who was refused his medical diploma on the grounds that he had converted to homeopathyPatrick A Brady was also refused a position as Surgeon at Bradford Infirmary in 1852, alongside John Le Gay Brereton 1827 – 1886 (who eventually emigrated to Australia where he opened the first Turkish bath in Australia). In 1852, Patrick A Brady received his medical diploma.

By the end of 1852, the membership of the Association had mushroomed to well over 1000 names (the list omits the number of ladies who also subscribed to the Association, to keep the list manageable and in a form which could be published).

The supporters of the Association for the Protection of Homeopathic Students and Practitioners now included William Henry Ashurst, and Richard Whately Archbishop of Dublin, just to pick two names from this list.

In 1853, The Association for the Protection of Homeopathic Students and Practitioners issued regular updates on the progress of the Alfred Crosby Pope case, reporting on the Edinburgh and Aberdeen Schools of Medicine and their prejudicial treatment of homeopathic graduates from their establishments.

The result was a national outcry and international outrage, (many hundreds of physicians and surgeons – 26 being graduates of the University of Edinburgh – 191 clergymen – including Alfred’s father – 47 Magistrates and 67 military and naval officers all signed a petition against this outrage!).

Eventually, the efforts of the Association resulted in Alfred Crosby Pope being awarded a degree from the Homeopathic Medical College of Pennsylvania in

  1. William Hamilton, Professor of Logic at the University of Edinburgh came out to support Alfred Crosby Pope, and eventually, he was awarded his degree.

Prince Albert came from a family tradition of homeopathy, and when he came to England to marry Queen Victoria, he renewed the Royal patronage of homeopathy. The debate was ended, and the London Homeopathic Hospital opened its doors in 1851 to great aclaim, against this stormy backdrop.

In 1855, James John Garth Wilkinson wrote to Benjamin Hall to argue the case for provision of homeopathy into local hospitals, intimating that Francis William Brady MP would argue the case for homeopathy (in fact James John Garth Wilkinson calls Francis William Brady MP the ’Luther of Homeopathy in the House of Commons’).

In 1867, Francis William Brady MP and Thomas Emerson Headlam MP, managed to influence the Medical Registration Bill, and in that same year:

In 1867, Frederick Hervey Foster Quin was able to obtain an amendment to the Medical Registration Bill; a clause was added enabling the Privy Council to withdraw the right to award degrees from any university that tried to impose the type of medicine practised by its graduates.

The Association for the Protection of Homeopathic Students and Practitioners had won!

See also Edward Harris Ruddock* (Ed.), The Homoeopathic World, Volume 5, (1870). Frontspiece.* Also, this entry is compiled from information provided in an email exchange with Peter Morrell 9.2.13, and a late night phone call with Francis Treuherz FSHom 9.2.13) I am not absolutely sure who ran The Homeopathic Publishing Company in 1881, possibly John Henry Clarke, who was definitely running this company in 1888 from 2 Finsbury Circus, as it published The Homeopathic World (but then so did Epps, Thatcher Publishers at this time!) The very first mention of The Homeopathic Publishing Company I can find is in 1870. The subject of a specialised homeopathic publishing company was first raised in America in 1864, and by 1870, Edward Harris Ruddock was the editor of *The Homoeopathic World, _which was published by The Homeopathic Publishing Company at 2 Finsbury Circus, London EC. Leslie J Speight was working for The Homeopathic Publishing Company in the 1920s, when he met John Henry Clarke but never got to know him as such. The Homeopathic Publishing Company was owned and run by Leslie J Speight (1901-1995) and Phyllis M Speight (1912-?still alive)** *from the 1940s (we think). The Speights were/are British lay homeopaths who were important publishers of homeopathic books, through The Homeopathic Publishing Company (at 13 Bedford Square, WC1 (1943), and then at 24 St. George’s Street, W1 (1947), and also possibly from Landor Road, Stockwell, SW9 at this time, though a lot was lost in the London bombings during WWII. The Homeopathic Publishing Company transferred with the Speights to Rustington in Sussex (in the 1960s?), and then onto Bradford, Holsworthy in Devon as Health Science Press, before being sold to C W Daniel Co. Ltd., 1 Church Path, Saffron Walden, Essex, CB10 1JP, a well established publisher specialising in alternative medicine, until 1992, when the archive of C W Daniel was received by the International Institute of Social History (IISH (http://www.iisg.nl/archives/en/files/c/ARCH00279full.php)) in 1992. The archive of IISH contains the archive of books from The C.W. Daniel Company, which have been transferred to the library of the IISH and can be found by using the collection code “C.W.Daniel”. _‘…__In the 1960s and 1970s, the Institute benefited from the growing interest in the history of social movements and ideas. It resumed its old task of saving the archives and libraries of persecuted people and organizations…’
