abstract: Sir Andrew Halliday (1781-1839) was domestic physician to HRH the Duke of Clarence (1765-1837) (who was later to become King William IV). He also served in the Napoleonic Wars-in Portugal, Spain and Waterloo-as well as in the West Indies, and became the first physician to the Seamen's Hospital Society. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Halliday was also a prolific author, many of his publications being on lunatic asylums in Great Britain and Ireland.
