He was the son of Mr John Monro, a surgeon in the army of king William, descended from the family of Monro of Milton, in the north of Scotland.
Dr Monro acted as editor of this work, and contributed to it many valuable papers on anatomical, physiological, and practical subjects; the most elaborate of which was an Essay on the Nutrition of the Foetus, in three dissertations.
Both the applause and the censure of Dr Monro upon all occasions, demonstrated the candid, the open, and the honest man. As a citizen, a friend, and a parent, his conduct was amiable and affectionate in the highest degree; and as a medical writer and teacher, he had few equals among his contemporaries.
AlexanderMonro (1733-1817), Professor of Anatomy and Surgery at the University of Edinburgh, was a member of a family of anatomists - he followed his father in his post and his son followed him.
Monro is notable for the medical records he kept (10,007 cases detailed in 33 volumes) and for his discovery of the Foramen of Monro, which links the lateral and third ventricles of the brain.
AlexanderMonro was the youngest son of AlexanderMonro, his predecessor in the chair of Anatomy and Surgery at the University of Edinburgh.
