Baillie Matthew

Baillie, Matthew, M.D., the brother of Joanna, was born in 1761, and studied for the medical profession under William Hunter, who left him his museum, house, and library. For some years he held a distinguished position as a teacher, but did not get much practice. In 1795 he published his great treatise on morbid anatomy; his reputation soon attracted clients, among whom were George III., and the Princesses Amelia and Charlotte. He was physician to St. George's Hospital, and President of the Royal College of Physicians. He died in 1823.
