Abstract
My interest in Thomas Percival arises from my position as a historian of medicine in, and indeed from, the Manchester region. Percival of course is a local hero. He is also an important figure in world medicine, and so Manchester medicine in the late eighteenth century has been the subject of major studies by historians in America [52], [14], [56]. And we have two newer reasons for re-examining Percival and his context.
