A little bit about Arbuthnot, John
Dr. John Arbuthnot, often known simply as Dr. Arbuthnot, (baptised April 29, 1667 February 27, 1735), was a Scottish physician, satirist and polymath in London. He is best remembered today for his contributions to mathematics, his membership in the Scriblerus Club (where he inspired both Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels book III and Alexander Pope's Peri Bathos, Memoirs of Martin Scriblerus, and possibly The Dunciad), and for inventing the figure of John Bull. · Can we improve this biography?
