William Augustus Guy (1810-1885)

人物

William Augustus Guy (baptised: 1810, death:1885)は、Cambridge大学出身(Pembroke College)の医学者、統計学者、King's College London教授。Royal Society Fellow、Royal College of Physicians fellow。ロンドン(Guy's Hospital)、ケンブリッジパリ、ハイデブルグで学び、1837年にケンブリッジから学位（MB）を取得。

父のWilliam GuyもDrがついているので医者だったのだろうか。母はMary Guy、祖父に教育された模様。妻はGeorgina Lucinda。Georgina LucindaはGeorgina LucindaはMajor Fredrick Wrightという人物の二番目の娘だとされるが、詳細は不明。子供の情報はなく、死後遺産をStatistical Society of Londonへ寄贈しているので、いなかったと考えられる。Guyは遺言により（残された夫人が存命中は夫人が利用できるという条件で）邸宅をStatistical Society of Londonへ寄贈した[ここ記憶が曖昧なので要確認]。このことを記念して、Royal Statistical Society(Statistical Society of Londonの後継)にGuy Medalが創設された。Guy Medalの最初の受賞者は貧困調査で有名なCharles Booth（1892年受賞）である。

Statistical Society of London(SSL)の活発なメンバーの一人であり、Honorary Secretary, Journal of the Statistical Society of London (JSSL) editor, SSL会長など要職を務めた。

Royal College of Physiciansでも活発に活動していたようだ。当時の医学界ではGuyはforensic medicineの教科書『Principles of Forensic Medicine』の著者、かつ『Dr. Hooper's Physician's Vade-Mecum: Or, a Manual of the Principles and Practice of Physic』の編者として知られていた。また、Health of Towns Associationへの参加を通じてのsanitary movementでの貢献で知られる。また、Millbank Prisonでmedical superintendentを務め、そこで囚人の食事の改良（or改悪）を行った。Guyはforensic medicineの専門家であったが、法廷で実際に証言することはなかった。これはjuryを信頼していなかったからだと言われている[ODNB。Lancetのobituaryが情報源だと考えられる。この理由がわかればおもしろいのだが、不明。Principles of Forensic Medicineにあるのかもしれない]。

統計学史においては、Guyは社会科学としての統計学という立場を押し出した人物として知られ、特に1865年にJSSLに発表されたの’On the Original and Acquired Meaning of the Term “Statistics,” and on the Proper Functions of a Statistical Society: Also on the Question Whether There Be a Science of Statistics; and, If so, What Are Its Nature and “Social Science”’. 'がよく知られている。William Farrに比べると歴史上それほど重要というわけではないが、ロンドン統計協会の役割を考える上では示唆的な人物で、わたしの博士論文では、Guyがsocial scienceとしての統計学と統計学者を作り上げる上で果たした役割を、かれの事実観、事実収集理論との関連で論じた。

    • GuyのPrinciple of Forensic Medicineに対するLondon Medical Gazette上でのレビュー欄(pp. 227-229, 15 November 1844 )で Alfred Swaine Taylor Manual of Medical Jurisprudenceからのplagiarismという批判に答えるもの

    • [reviewでの批判] Mr. Taylor's views and information for his own, the whole difficulty would be cleared away; and having made inquiry, and been informed, that Dr. Guy had actually been a pupil at Guy's Hospital, and having further recalled to mind a short paper of Dr. Guy's, published some two or three years back, upon "the best method of keeping a common-place book," we began to see how the Professor had truly---we must imagine in all innocency---been guilty of publishing his notes of Mr. Taylor's lectures, and his extracts from Mr. Taylor's Mannal, as his own Principlcs of Forensic Medicine. "Take your notes and extracts," says Dr. Guy, "upon separate leaves of paper, arrange them under their appropriate heads, and when you want the materials for a lecture you have but to undo the string, and, presto ! without more ado than by help of an and, and a but, and a however, you have a lecture ready." The same receipt will answer for the manufacture of a book ; and we feel reluctantly bound to say that Dr. Guy has followed it to the letter[..] / In such a subject as medical jurisprudence great latitude in seeking information from others is of course allowable---nay, is indispensable; and this we find and admire in Mr. Taylor: his references are incessant, and having, along with those who have laboured at the MEDICAL GAZETTE, still striven to make its pages permanent records of experience in medicine, we are flattercd in seeing how largely they have contributed to aid so able a critic and so accomplished a writer as Mr. Taylor; but he who uses information of this kind must take it at the sources--- not at second-hand; he must bring the disciphncd mind to digest and use it aright, to show it in its relations with every other part or pendant of the subject. Faust's receipt, which we quote for Dr. Guy's especial benefit, as we see he refers to one German book at least, will not answer.

    "Sitzt ihr nur immer! leimt zusamme', / Braut ein Ragout von andrer Schmaus, / Und blast die kümmerlichen Flammen / Aus eurem Aschenhäufchen ’raus!"

    Which being interpreted, means that it will not do to make paste and scissors do all; or, pretending to boil a pot of your own, to fill it not only from other folks' stores, but to boil it with other folks' fire. (p. 228, emphasis in original)

    • Dr. Guy was a condant and liberal donor to the Library, and the numerous papers which he read before the Society, exceeding in number and variety of subjects those of any other Fellow, as shown in the Jubilee Volume, were of exceptional value. He further testified to his constant interest in the prosperity of the Society by the large number of Fellows whom he introduced to it, and finally by bequeathing. to it a legacy of 25ol. and a reversionary interest of very considerable value. (p. 651, emphasis added)

    • Although an eloquent writer and a fluent speaker, Dr. Guy had no ability whatever for versification or rhyming; but as convalescence from the illness above mentioned advanced, he found that his unspoken works spontaneously assumed a harmonious jingle. An outcome of this was a pretty little pastoral, very much in the style of Florian’s "Estelle," composed at a friend’s house, and represented on the occasion of the Christmas festival. As he regained the capacity for more serious work, this poetic power again receded into concealment. (p. 554)

    • He was indeed often consulted in forensic cases, but nothing would induce him to appear publicly; on the one hand he was too sensitive to willingly assume the responsibility of a skilled witness, and on the other he had little or no confidence in a jury ignorant of the bearing of medical questions. Those who knew him imperfectly would scarcely credit him with this sensitiveness, for his dignified manner had something of military austerity in it; but those who knew him intimately, soon found how deep and kindly were his feelings. (p. 554, emphasis added)

    • Work he held to be the natural remedy for human ills, and idleness their foster parent; and following this maxim, his mode of doing good was to find out a willing but unemployed worker, and provide him with work. These will now miss their kind guide and helper ; and those who have had the advantage of Dr. Guy’s friendship will also find a blank, for his friendship was deep and enduring, his sympathies far-reaching, and his views in politics, in religion, and in social science, far in advance of the age in which he lived and died. (p. 554, emphasis added)

    • This distinguished physician and scientist died at his residence in Gordon STreet, Gordon Square, on September 10th, having hearly reached the age of 80 years. (p. 573, emphasis added)

    • 'The general public probably knew him better through the atteitionu which he devoted for many years to questions of 'sanitary reform and social science.' (p. 573)

  • Times (incomlete)

    • Mr. Guy devoted much attention for many years to questions of sanitary reform and social science, and in 1878 was appointed one of the Royal Commissioners to inquire into the working of the Penal Servitude Acts; also in 1879 a member of the Criminal Lunatic Commission. He was the author of many essays on physiology and kindred subjects, and also of works of a more general character. Among his principal publications may be mentioned Principles of Forensic Medicine, Public Health, The Factorsof the Unsound Mind, John Hou·ard's Winter's Journey, and his last work, The Claims of Science on public recognition and support. It may be added that Mr. Guy was likewise editor of Hooper's Physician's Vade-Mecum." (要確認????, emphasis added)
