Notes From Elsewhere
Joseph Ince was born into a pharmaceutical family. His father William became director of Godfrey and Cooke, a business originally founded in about 1660, and became president of the Pharmaceutical Society in 1850. Joseph studied at King's College, and went on to serve as an apprentice to Richard Hotham Pidgeon, first Treasurer of the Pharmaceutical Society. He attended the Schools of Medicine and Pharmacy in Paris for two years after his apprenticeship. On his return in 1847, he entered the School of Pharmacy. He became an assistant at Godfrey and Cooke and stayed on the staff for many years, succeeding his father as director. He passed his Major exam in 1862 and set up his own business for a short while, but gave it up and was lecturer on pharmacy for Dr Muter's School. In 1883, he took on a new role as Dr Redwood's assistant at the Square, and was charged by the Council to set up a department of practical pharmacy.
Ince served on the Society's Council from 1866 to 1869 and was also an examiner for six years. He assisted Jacob Bell with The Pharmaceutical Journal, for which he wrote many articles. He was also the author of Latin Grammar of Pharmacy and of Elementary dispensing Practice.
