Thomas Dale (physician)

Thomas Dale (1729 – 21 February 1816) was a British-American physician.

He was born in 1729 at Charlestown, but came to England at an early age and entered St. Paul's School.

He became a licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians in 1786, and subsequently practised in the city of London.

A good linguist and classical scholar, he was one of the originators of the Literary Fund, and from 1790 he acted for many years as registrar to the society.

He died at his house in Devonshire Square, Bishopsgate, on 21 February 1816, and was buried in Bunhill Fields.
