He studied at Glasgow High School then Glasgow University, also spending some time in Paris and Italy studying anatomy and surgery receiving his doctorate (MD) in 1830.[1]

From 1839 to 1878 he also served as Surgeon to the Gartnavel Royal Hospital.[3]

In 1872 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh his proposer being Andrew Wood. [4]

His main publication, Medical Statistics of Life Insurance (1862), still forms the basis of much life insurance assessment.[7]
