The Pedants' Society

Fellow No. 00004

Mr Bartholomew Whittaker

Admitted March 1848 · Foundation

One of three Founding Fellows to insist that the Society's foundation date should be 1846, on the grounds that the planning correspondence began that year. The matter was settled by vote in 1851; he abstained, on principle, from the vote on his own motion.
