James Lomax Bardsley

His professional education was first under the direction of his uncle, Dr. Samuel Argent Bardsley, and subsequently at Glasgow and Edinburgh universities; he received the diploma of M.D.

in 1823 at Edinburgh, and while a student there was elected president of the Royal Medical Society.

He was associated with Thomas Turner in the management of the Manchester Royal School of Medicine and Surgery, and took an active part in the early proceedings of the British Medical Association.
