Augustus Bozzi Granville MD, FRS (born Augusto Bozzi, 7 October
1783 – 3 March 1872) was
a physician, writer, and Italian patriot.
Born in Milan,
he studied medicine before leaving to avoid being enlisted in Napoleon's army.
After practicing medicine in Greece, Turkey, Spain, and Portugal, he joined the
British Navy and sailed to the West Indies. There he learned English and
married an Englishwoman. He later moved to London, where he practiced as a
physician and writer. He is credited with carrying out the first medical
autopsy on an Ancient Egyptian Mummy which he described to the Royal Society of
London in 1825.
