(Sir George), an eminent English physician, born at Sandwich in Kent in 1604. He was educated at Sidney college, Cambridge; and, afterwards travelling into foreign countries, received the degree of doctor of physic at Padua. After his return he obtained great practice, was made president of the college of physicians in London, and at length received the honour of knighthood from King Charles II. He was extremely intimate with Doctor Harvey; whom he learnedly defended in a piece intitled, Apologia pro Circulatione Sanguinis, contra Animum Parvum. He also published, Animadversiones in Macchia Thrystonis; and some observations in the Philosophical Transactions. Glanville, speaking of his Plus Ultra of the modern improvements in anatomy, numbers Sir George Ent, Doctor Glisson, and Doctor Wallis, with the most celebrated discoverers in that science. The two former were among the first members of the Royal Society. Sir George Ent died in October 1689.
