According to the biography provided in the biography of his patron, Sir Astley Cooper, Read—who was expected to take over his father’s farm—had been interested in devices featuring technical mechanisms from a very early age and, accordingly, tinker with them on his own in his spare time. Recognizing Read’s talents, his employer granted him access to his library, through which Read acquired extensive knowledge of hydrostatics, as well as anatomy, which ultimately led—after he designed an innovative irrigation system with hoses for the clergyman’s garden—to the invention of his novel enema syringe, intended for the removal of toxic substances from the intestines. In London, he was able to win over the renowned anatomist and surgeon Sir Astley Paston Cooper (1768–1841) as a patron, who popularized Read’s invention among experts.
