According the historical area of
its website,
this Society was founded in 1774 as the
Humane Society for the recovery of persons apparently drowned.
But according to the FAQ area it was founded as the
Institution for affording immediate Relief to Persons apparently
dead, from drowning.
The website makes it clear that the Society was founded
in London in 1774 by two doctors, William Hawes (1736-1808) and
Thomas Cogan (1736-1818), who wanted to promote the new, but
controversial, medical technique of resuscitation.
According to its website, In 1776 it became known as the Humane Society. In 1787 it became the Royal Humane Society. Although this Society was initially interested in the medical technique of resuscitation, and published a journal in 1795 that Reuss considered scholarly, it is now primarily a charity that makes awards for acts of bravery. |
