   Extractions: John Arbuthnot studied at Marischal College, Aberdeen, then took a medical degree at the University of St Andrews graduating in 1696. He translated Huygens ' tract on probability in 1692 and extended it by adding to it a few further games of chance. This was the first work on probability published in English. Arbuthnot went to London and gave lessons in mathematics. Around this time (1700) he published Essay towards a natural history of the Earth and Essay on the usefulness of mathematical learning. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1704. In 1705 he was appointed physician to Queen Anne. He continued his scientific work submitting a paper to the Royal Society in 1710 discussing the slight excess of male births over female births. This paper is perhaps the first application of probability to social statistics. In this paper he claims to demonstrate that divine providence, not chance, governs the sex ratio at birth. Arbuthnot's main fame is on his reputation as a wit and on his satirical writings. With Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift, John Gay and Thomas Parnell he founded the Scriblerus Club in 1714, whose purpose was to satirise bad poetry and pedantry. The club was short-lived.

   http://www.geo.ed.ac.uk/scotgaz/people/famousfirst747.html
   
   Extractions: Physician and satirist. Born in Inverbervie (Aberdeenshire). Educated at Marischal College (Aberdeen), Oxford and St. Andrews, Arbuthnot became a successful physician, writing on the value of diet in the fight against disease and was eventually appointed Physician-in-Ordinary to Queen Anne (1704). However, it is as a political satirist that he is best remembered, developing the character John Bull as the typical Englishman which appeared in a collection entitled The History of John Bull Arbuthnot had a significant part in creating the Memoirs of Martinus Scriblerus published posthumously in 1741, which was a mocking exposure of pedantry, perhaps the pre-cursor of our own enjoyment of seeking out official jargon and bureaucracy.

    Extractions: John Arbuthnot: 1667-1735, Scottish author and scientist, court physician (1705-14) to Queen Anne. He is best remembered for his five "John Bull pamphlets" (1712), political satires on the Whig war policy, which introduced the character John Bull, the typical Englishman. With his friends, Swift, Pope, and Gay, Arbuthnot was a member of the Scriblerus Club, organized to ridicule false tastes in learning, and was the principal author of the "Memoirs of … Martinus Scriblerus", first published in the quarto edition of Pope 's works (1741). He was also the author of several progressive medical works. Greatly admired in his time, Arbuthnot was called an unusual genius by Samuel Johnson, and Pope addressed to him the famous "Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot." ( from Encyclopedia.com Pope's "Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot"
