Abstract/OtherAbstract:
David Monro, MD, was a son of the third Professor Monro of Edinburgh. He went into practice in Edinburgh and then emigrated to the Nelson settlement in New Zealand. There he practised a little medicine, but was mostly a gentleman sheep-farmer. He was a member of the first parliament of New Zealand in 1854 and served as the second Speaker, when he did much to set up proper standing orders for the colonial legislature. He was knighted in 1866.
