HENRY, See also:BART . (1788–1873), See also:English physician and author, was See also:born at See also:Knutsford, See also:Cheshire, on the 27th of See also:October 1788. His maternal grandmother was the See also:sister of See also:Josiah See also:Wedgwood, whose See also:grandson was See also:Charles See also:Darwin; and his paternal aunt was the See also:mother of Mrs See also:Gaskell. After spending some years at a private school at Knutsford, he was sent to a school at See also:Newcastle-on-See also:Tyne, whence after four years he was transferred to Dr J. P. Estlin's school near See also:Bristol. There he at once took the position of See also:head boy, in See also:succession to See also:John See also:Cam See also:Hobhouse, afterwards See also:Lord See also:Broughton, an See also:honour which required to be maintained by See also:physical prowess. On leaving school he became articled clerk to a See also:mercantile See also:firm in See also:Liverpool, but, as the See also:privilege was reserved to him of passing two sessions at See also:Glasgow university, he at the See also:close of his second session sought See also:relief from his articles, and in 18o6 began the study of See also:medicine in the university of See also:Edinburgh, where he graduated in 1811. After several years spent in See also:foreign travel, he began practice in 1816 as a physician in See also:London—according to his own statement, " with a See also:fair augury of success speedily and completely fulfilled." This "success," he adds, "was materially aided by visits for four successive years to See also:Spa, at the close of that which is called the London See also:season." It must also, however, be in a See also:great degree attributed to his happy temperament and his gifts as a conversationalist--qualities the See also:influence of which, in the See also:majority of cases belonging to his class of practice, is often of more importance than See also:direct medical treatment. In 1816 he was elected F.R.S., and in 1528 F.R.C.S. He became physician in See also:ordinary to See also:Prince See also:Albert in 1840, and was appointed in 1852 physician in ordinary to the See also:queen. In See also:April 1853 he was created a See also:baronet. He was also a D.C.L. of See also:- OXFORD

time than was necessary to secure an income of £5000 a See also:year, and also to spend two months of every year solely in foreign travel. By the former See also:resolution he secured leisure for a wide acquaintance withgeneral literature, and for a more than superficial cultivation of several branches of See also:science; and the latter enabled him, besides visiting, " and most of them repeatedly, every See also:country of Europe," to make extensive See also:tours in the other three continents, journeying often to places little frequented by See also:European travellers. As, moreover, he procured an introduction to nearly all the eminent personages in his See also:line of travel, and knew many of them in his capacity of physician, his acquaintance with "men and cities" was of a See also:species without a parallel. The London Medical See also:Record, in noticing his See also:death, which took See also:place on his eighty-fifth birthday, October 27, 1873, remarked that it " had occurred under circumstances highly characteristic of his remarkable career." On his return from a See also:journey in See also:Russia he was See also:present, on See also:Friday, October 24th, at the trial of See also:Marshal See also:Bazaine in See also:Paris, dining with some of the See also:judges in the evening. He reached London on the Saturday, took See also:ill the following See also:day, and died quietly on the See also:Monday afternoon.
Sir Henry Holland was the author of See also:General View of the Agri-culture of Cheshire (18o7); Travels in the Ionian Isles, See also:Albania, See also:Thessaly and See also:Greece (1812-1813, 2nd ed., 1819); Medical Notes and Reflections (1839); Chapters on See also:Mental See also:Physiology (1852); Essays on Scientific and other Subjects contributed to the Edinburgh and Quarterly Reviews (1862) ; and Recollections of Past See also:Life (1872).
