| Notes |
- Dr. Edward Thomas Monro received his early education at Harrow. He entered Oriel College, Oxford, where he graduated B.A., Second Class, on 4 May 1809, M.A. on 28 Jun 1810, B.M. on 24 Oct 1811, and M.D. on 25 Jan 1814.
He was admitted as a Candidate of the College of Physicians on 27 Dec 1816, and was Censor in 1819, 1829, and 1837. He delivered the Harveian Oration in 1834, and was an Elect on 30 Sep 1842.
Upon the resignation of his father in Jun 1816, he was appointed Principal Physician of Bethlehem Hospital, being the fourth in direct succession, from father to son, in that highly important and responsible office.
He served as treasurer of the College of Physicians, London, from 1845 to 1856.
A remarkable feature of his professional life is that having attended some four hundred commissions and trials in lunacy, only on two occasions did his evidence differ from the verdict, and in both these instances the decisions arrived at were afterwards set aside. His evidence was remarkable for clearness and force, and was much valued by the legal profession.
