  • Book Reziews Doctors Monro, by R
    Book Reziews Doctors Monro, by R. E. WRIGHT-ST. CLAIR, London, Weilcome Historical Medical Library, Historical Monograph No. 4, 1964, PP. I90, 30s. The familiar story of the three Alexander Monros who, each in succession over a period of a hundred and twenty-six years, held the Chair ofAnatomy in the Univer- sity of Edinburgh, has often been related. But this little book goes further, and meets a definite need by givng a clear account of the entire dynasty of the Monros, and tracing the family from Sir Alexander Monro of Bearcrofts, Stirlingshire, who was born in I629, right down to the present day through eight generations in which are included no less than sixteen doctors. It is singularly appropriate that this detailed and well-documented study of the Monros should have been undertaken by Dr. Wright-St. Clair, ofHamilton, New Zealand, because the Monro Collection ofBooks and Manuscripts, now in the University of Otago at Dunedin, was bequeathed by Professor Alexander Monro tertius to his fourth son, Dr. David Monro. David emigrated to New Zealand in I842, and after a distinguished political career there became Speaker in the House of Representatives, and was knighted in i866. The author has made a careful study, not only of this Collection, but also of many other sources of information relating to the Monro family, in Edinburgh and elsewhere. The original project of founding a Medical School in Edinburgh similar to that of Leyden arose in the mind ofJohn Monro in I694 after his return from Leyden, where he had studied under Boerhaave, and he made his son Alexander the instrument for carrying out his ambitious plan.

  • 'Discourses on the Human Physiology' by Alexander Monro Primus (1697-1767)
    Medical History, 1988, 32: 65-81. 'DISCOURSES ON THE HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY' BY ALEXANDER MONRO PRIMUS (1697-1767) by D. W. TAYLOR* INTRODUCTION Historians have long taken it for granted that the teaching in the early Edinburgh medical faculty was founded on the system of Boerhaave, which was in turn based on Newtonian mechanism. All of the first-appointed teachers had studied at Leyden, and they brought its traditions back with them.' My own examination of the evidence, particularly that provided by surviving student lecture-notes, amply confirms this. Monro primus was quite explicit on the point. We find him saying, for example, in 1731/2, "I shall as much as I can follow Dr Boerhaave's method which may perhaps be of the moreuse to you who are att and to be att his Institutions"; and again in the later 1740s, "I shall follow Dr Boerhaave's method in his Institutiones, excepting some small variations . ". 2 St Clair's lectures were year after year a commentary in Latin on the Institutiones.3 Plummer and Innes commented on the Aphorisms.4 Notes taken *Douglass W. Taylor, MD, FRCPE, Professor of Physiology, University of Otago Medical School, Dunedin, New Zealand. A preliminary and much shorter version of this paper was read to the 7th David Nichol Smith Seminar held in Dunedin in August 1986. In its present form it owes much to Dr Christopher Lawrence, Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine-to his generosity in presenting to the Medical Library of the University ofOtago a copy ofhis doctoral thesis, and to the discussions I was able to have with him on a visit to Dunedin that was prolonged well beyond his original intentions.

Scotland’s medieval archaeology is extremely rich. Through its improved understanding, study and conservation, fascinating and critical aspects of the past can be explored, such as the development of towns, the arrival and integration of new peoples, how people farmed the land, and the development of political and religious systems. These multi-dimensional stories are played out at various levels: local, regional, national and international (principally but not solely European). Some of the issues and challenges faced by people then are equally familiar today, some will seem strange and exotic, and they fuse together in an intricate story that is the root from which modern Scotland has grown.

  • DONALD MONRO (1727-1802) the Following Letter Was Received by the Editor from Dr
    News, Notes and Queries DONALD MONRO (1727-1802) The following letter was received by the Editor from Dr. R. E. Wright-St. Clair of Hamilton, New Zealand, dated 1 October 1970. 'May I refer to one minor error in the excellent paper, Henry Marshall (1775-1851) and the Health of the British Army by Professor R. L. Blanco published in your July 1970 number, pp. 260-76. Among 'earlier army sanitarians', on p.274 Professor Blanco mentions 'Donald Munro (1727-1802)'. 'This was actually Donald Monro, born in Edinburgh, 15 January 1727/28, died in London, 9 June 1802. He was the second son of Professor Alexander Monro primus of Edinburgh and older brother of Professor Alexander Monro secundus. Donald Monro graduated M.D. at Edinburgh on 8 June 1753 with a thesis, De Hydrope, later enlarged and published in English as An Essay on the Dropsy and its Different Species (London, 1756). On 12 April 1756 he was admitted a licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of London. The fellowship of that College was usually reserved for graduates of Oxford or Cambridge but on 30 September 1771 Monro was elected a Fellow, speciali gratia. He was a Censor of the College in 1772, 1781, 1785, and 1789, while from 1788 until his death he was an Elect. He was the Croonian lecturer in 1774 and 1775 and also the Harveian lecturer in 1775. From 1758 until his retire- ment in 1786 because of ill health, Monro was a physician to St. George's Hospital, London. He also conducted a successful private practice from his home in Jermyn Street and in 1766 was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society.

Pox Britannica: Smallpox Inoculation in Britain, 1721-1830 Abstract Inoculation has an important place in the history of medicine: not only was it the first form of preventive medicine but its history spans the so-called eighteenth century 'medical revolution'. A study of the myriad of pamphlets, books and articles on the controversial practice casts new light on these fundamental changes in the medical profession and medical practice. Whereas historians have associated the abandonment of old humoural theories and individualised therapy in favour of standardised techniques with the emergence of new institutions in the second half of the century, inoculation suggests that changes began as early as the 1720s. Though inoculation was initially accompanied by a highly individualised preparation of diet and drugs, more routinised sequences of therapy appeared the 1740s and by the late 1760s all inoculated patients followed exactly the same preparative regimen. This in turn made possible the institutionalised provision of inoculation, first through the system of poor relief, later by dispensaries and charitable societies.
