| Notes |
- Dr. Henry Monro received his early education at Harrow. He entered Oriel College, Oxford, in 1834, where he graduated B.A. on 6 Jun 1839, B.M. on 14 Jun 1844, and M.D. in 1863. (It is believed that "1863" is incorrect.)
He was elected Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in 1848, Censor in 1861, 1862, and 1863, and Councillor in 1864-1865, and 1875-1877. He was a member of the council of the Royal Medical Chirurgical Society, and of the Medical Psychological Association. He served as President of the latter in 1864-1865. He served as Consulting Physician to St. Luke's Hospital in London for nearly thirty years.
He lived at 13 Cavendish Square in London and was fifth physician in direct descent in the London branch of the family of Fyrish, Contullich, and Kildermorie, who attained an eminent position in the same profession - since 1772, a period of more than a century and a half - a circumstance quite unique, it is believe, in the annals of English medical science.
He published "An Essay on Stammering: its Nature and Treatment," in 1849; "Remarks on Insanity: its Nature and Treatment," in 1851; "Articles on Reform in Private Lunatic Asylums," in 1856; on the "Nomenclature of Insanity"; and other works.
In 1846, he founded the House of Charity in Rose Street, Soho Square, London - a house for the destitute and friendless, chiefly those whose distress and helplessness was brought on through no fault of their own - and for forty years he worked at this flourishing institution with unfailing energy and devotion.
Henry's protrait, and those of his four distinguished medical predecessors, belonging in direct male line to the same family, adorned the walls of the Royal College of Physicians, those of his father and himself painted by Dr. Henry, and all the five presented by him.
