Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Calvert, George (1795-1825)
CALVERT, GEORGE (1795–1825), surgeon, obtained the Jacksonian prize of the London College of Surgeons three years in succession. One of the essays, ‘On Hæmorrhoids, Strictures,’ &c., was expanded and published in 1824. The ‘Medico-Chirurgical Review’ described it as ‘the best in the English language,’ April 1825, p. 297. Calvert also revised Coffyn's translation of Bichat's ‘General Anatomy,’ 1824. He showed great promise, but died on 14 Nov. 1825, aged 30.
