John Edmonds Stock, M.D., was for some time at Exeter college, Oxford, but having conscientious scruples as to subscription, he left the university without taking any degree. He obtained a degree of doctor of medicine, but from what university I have not been able to discover, and was admitted an Extra-Licentiate of the College of Physicians 5th December, 1803. He practised at Bristol, where his secession in 1816 from the Unitarians, with whom he had allied himself, occasioned a great sensation, and led to a correspondence which was made public at the time. Dr. Stock died at the house of his brother-in-law at Tewkesbury, in October, 1835, aged sixty-one.

He was the author of—
Medical Collections on the Effects of Cold as a remedy in certain Diseases. 8vo. Lond. 1805.
Memoirs of the Life of Thomas Beddoes, M.D., with an analytical account of his writings. 4to. Lond. 1811.
