James Hunt (speech therapist)

James Hunt (1833 – 29 August 1869) was a British anthropologist and speech therapist. His clients included Charles Kingsley, Leo Tennyson (son of the poet laureate Alfred Tennyson), and Lewis Carroll.

His other main interest was in anthropology, and in 1863 he established the Anthropological Society of London, which after his death merged with the more established Ethnological Society of London to become the Royal Anthropological Institute.
