História biográfica

Lee, Robert (1793-1877), FRS, obstetric physician, father of Lee, Robert James (1841-1924), physician Robert Lee was a distinguished obstetric physician and gynaecologist. He graduated MD at Edinburgh in 1814, and from 1824 to 1826 was physician to Prince Michael Semyonbitch Vorontzov, Governor-General for the Crimea, and travelled extensively in Russia. He then settled in London, and was elected FRS in 1830, and FRCP in 1841. He seems to have been rather unfairly treated by the Royal Society as regards the publication of some of his papers and was justifiably aggrieved by their treatment. (See the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography for further biographical details). Robert James Lee obtained his MD at Cambridge in 1869 and was elected FRCP, London 1874, resigning in 1902. Like his father he was a gynaecologist and obstetrician. He also held positions, as physician at the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormand Stree; St Georges Hospital; and was personal physian to Lord Harrington, Sir Thomas Tillyer Whipham and Willaim Lowther.
