Born in Rothwell, Northants in 1736, Cogan earned his MD from Leyden, having previously spent several years as a unitarian minister in Holland. His dissertation topic of 1767 ? ?On the Influence of the Passions in causing and healing Diseases? ? suggests that he had conceived an interest in matters of moral psychology at an early stage in life. This interest was put aside for many years, however, while he practiced as an obstetrician in Holland and London. During this time he achieved considerable fame for his efforts to introduce the English to Dutch techniques for reviving drowning victims. He and Dr. William Hawes co-founded the Royal Humane Society in 1774 to further this purpose. Contemporary estimates put the number of lives saved in the first few years of the RHS in the thousands.
