1p, 8vo. In fair condition, lightly aged, with a few small holes, and thin strip of paper from mount adhering to the blank reverse. Reads: 'The Assignees of Mr George Underwood will please deliver up to Messrs Renshaw & Reid all the Copies of my "State of Lunatic Asylums" also all copies of my "Letter to Lord Robert Seymour" as also Any Copies of "Letters from Germany & Holland" or any other of my works that may remain or be found among the stock of the said George Underwood as the whole are my individual Property - | Andrew Halliday | Hampton Court | 31 August 1831'. Underwood is listed in BBTI under Thomas Underwood, with whom he traded in medical books in the Strand between 1817 and his bankruptcy in 1831. From the distinguished autograph collection of the psychiatrist Richard Alfred Hunter (1923-1981), whose collection of 7000 works relating to psychiatry is now in Cambridge University Library. Hunter and his mother Ida Macalpine had a particular interest in the illness of King George III, and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' (1969) suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'.

7pp, 4to. Containing 112 lines of text on two bifoliums. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded three times. Headed 'Private', and with the heading, date and place written by Halliday at a different time from the rest of the text. A long and impassioned letter, in which Halliday offers to become inspector of 'all the public and Private Asylums in England and Wales', at a payment of no more than £150 a year in expenses. The letter begins: 'My Lord | I have had some correspondence, and one short interview with your Lordships Brother Mr George Lamb [(1784-1834), MP for Dungarvan] on a subject of some importance and in which I have long taken a very deep interest; on the number and condition of Insane persons in England and Wales. Three years ago as you must well know some improvement was made in the Law relative to this large and interesting Class of the Community; but the Acts then passed will expire in this Session and Mr Robert Gordon has a motion on the Journals for the 1st. of next month for new Bills.' He states that a clause in the acts 'giving Authority to the Secretary of State and the Lord Chancellor to send a Medical or other person to inspect & examine all the public and Private Asylums in England and Wales' has never been implemented, and that it is 'of great and urgent importance that it should be accomplished before the New Acts are passed'. His reasons for holding this view are, 'because my Lord nothing but a personal examination of the various and new multiplied establishments can detect the abuses that require to be checked, or the faults that must be corrected by legislature enactment'. Halliday has 'felt most anxious to undertake this duty; in the first place because I have already once in my life (now twenty six years ago) performed it, without power or Parliamentary Authority and in the 2d place because the Subject is I believe more familiar to me than to any other man in the Kingdom; and lastly as I consider the present Law as in some measure my own I am perhaps as well qualified as any other to judge of the way in which it has been worked throughout the Kingdom'. Halliday is as able as any of his 'Brethren' of laying a 'faithfull [sic] detail before Melbourne. 'I am ready to dedicate to this good Cause the whole time that may be necessary, and sacrifice the emoluments of a Physician in no despicable private Practice also; and as I stated to your Brother I should only ask for my bare expences during my tour, and would even limit them to a very moderate sum £150'. urges Melbourne to 'decide at once' and allow him to 'consult' with his brother. 'The question is do you as a Minister wish to have the best information or not? [] The Law gives you the power of seeking for that informaion in your own way & without the bias of any other opinion[.] The question is will you avail yourself of the advantages the law gives or will you like your Predecessor in Office suffer others not much better informed than yourself to go blundering on passing laws which are either again tp be repealed or that it is found necessary to alter and amend every Session?' He hopes Melbourne will 'pardon this long letter', concluding: 'If I did not know something of your Lordships good heard Sound head and love fore your fellow Creatures I should not have taken the trouble of inditing such an Epistle'.

William IV ceased to be styled the Duke of Clarence on his accession to the throne in 1830. For 'the family of Griffinhoofe, Saffron Walden', see Charles K. Probert's piece in Notes and Queries, 14 November 1874, which states that 'The first of the family who came to this country was a Mr. Griffinhoofe, who, as Court Apothecary, accompanied George I. from Hanover.' The family clearly continued their connection with royalty, as the author of this document W. J. Griffinhoofe is listed in 1804 as 'Apothecary' in 'The Establishment of the King's Stables', and he states in this document that he has attended the Duke during his attacks. 3pp, 4to. On bifolium. Aged and worn. Headed: 'An Outline of the general treatment of His Royal Highness The Duke of Clarence during his periodical annual attack of Asthma'. Signed at end 'W J Griffinhoofe'. Begins: 'Medicine as pr. praescriptions, of course guided by the present existing symptoms by Doctor Halliday, [the Duke's personal physician Sir Andrew Halliday (1782-1839)] Opiates I have ever found rather to distress than assist, His Royal Highness in these attacks | His Royal Highness upon these occasions is immediately put upon a liquid diet, Chicken broth, Calfsfoot jelly, new milk whey, barley water hot with some powdered loaf sugar, occasionly [sic] green tea with much milk, and strong coffee, the stricture of the breath being usually very severe, The Duke is not able to make the reclining position but has recourse to sitting in an easy arm chair in his flannel dressing Gown with two blankets plac'd on the chair, the lower one wrapt'd [sic] round the legs, []'. Endorsed on reverse of second leaf: 'The Medicines usually taken during the Attack of Asthma'. The description of the attacks continues, with Griffinhoofe noting that 'The Duke is sometimes oblig'd to remain in this state for several days'. He states that 'His Royal Highness's condescention is well known to everyone who has the supreme honor of any communication with him, but in the whole length of my attendance upon the Duke of Clarence his patient expressions of satisfaction is far beyond my power of expression'. He ends by noting that 'the first food of any substance taken by The Duke is toasted bread in either chicken broth or weak green tea with much new milk'.
