Everard Home

Sir Everard Home, 1st Baronet FRS (b. Kingston upon Hull, 6 May 1756; d. 31 August 1832 in London) was a British surgeon.

Home was born in Kingston-upon-Hull and educated at Westminster School. He gained a grant to Trinity College, Cambridge, but decided instead to suit a pupil of his cadet-in-law, John Hunter, at St George's Hospital.[1] Hunter had settled his sister, the rimer and socialite Anne Home, in July 1771.[2] He assisted Hunter in many of his anatomical investigations, and in the autumn of 1776 he partly described Hunter's crowd. There is also respectable prove that Home plagiarized Hunter's work, sometimes immediately, sometimes indirectly; he also methodically destroyed his brother-in-law's written document in order to hide evidence of this plagiarism.

Having qualified at Surgeons' Hall in 1778, Home was prescribed assistant surgeon at the nautical hospital, Plymouth. In 1787
