He then spent two or three years in the e. of Europe; and in 1815, after his return to Eng land, published his Travels in Albania, Thessaly, etc., in a 4to volume. Ile settled in London, and soon rose to high eminence in his profession, of which he became one of the recognized heads. In 1828 he was elected a fellow of the royal college of physi cians, a distinction at that time very rarely conferred upon a Scottish M.D. In 1840 he was appointed physician-in-ordinary to the prince consort, and in 1852 physician-in ordi?ary to the queen. In the following year he was made a baronet. In 1856 the university of Oxford conferred on him the honorary degree of u.c.L., and he has like wise received the degree of LL.D. from the university of Cambridge, Mass. In
1840 lie published a volume entitled Medical Notes and Reflections, consisting of 34 essays upon various of the most interesting departments of medicine and psychology, which has passed through several editions. In 1852 his Chapters on _Menial Physiology appeared, which are expaqsions of those essays in his former work which treated of " that particular part of human physiology which comprises the reciprocal actions and relations of mental and bodily phenomena." His Essays on Scientific Subjects, published in 1862, and embracing the consideration of many of the most profound subjects in physics, show that if his special studies had taken a different direction, he would have attained fame as a natural philosopher. The Recollections of Past Life he published in 1871. Holland died Oct., 1873.
