SteveHB Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Mr William Frith, was surgeon to the Loyal Independent Sheffield Volunteers. ." The nickname of " Dr. Inkbottle" was conferred on Mr. Frith because on the occasion of a public dinner at the Tontine he so far forgot himself as to carry away a bottle, supposing it to contain wine. It proved, however, to be a bottle of ink, and the do~or's chagrin was perpetuated in a cognomen which never left him. From 'REMINISCENCES OF SHEFFIELD by R. E. LEADER' CHAPTER 09 - DOCTORS, LAWYERS, AND PARSONS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
