In Britain Macalpine studied for and received a Scottish medical qualification in order to practise in the United Kingdom. Macalpine then specialised in psychiatry and was appointed psychiatrist at St Bartholomew\u2019s Hospital, London, and her son Richard Hunter MD, FRCPsych, FRCP (1923-1981) studied at St Bartholomew\u2019s (where he was house surgeon to Sir Geoffrey Keynes), before following his mother into psychiatry. Both Ida Macalpine and Richard Hunter were also distinguished historians of medicine, in which capacity they are best remembered for their book&nbsp;<em>300 Years of Psychiatry 1535-1860<\/em>&nbsp;(1963) and their publications on porphyria. The first of these was \u2018The \u201cInsanity\u201d of King George III: A Classic Case of Porphyria\u2019 (1966) and it was followed by \u2018Porphyria in the Royal Houses of Stuart, Hanover, and Prussia: A Follow-up Study of George III\u2019s Illness\u2019 (1968), both of which were published in the&nbsp;<em>British Medical Journal<\/em>, and then collected in&nbsp;<em>Porphyria \u2013 A Royal Malady<\/em>&nbsp;with two further pieces in support of their papers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This copy was sent by Richard Hunter to his former colleague, the noted surgeon, and historian and bibliographer of science Sir Geoffrey Keynes, and Hunter\u2019s covering letter thanks Keynes for some offprints, continuing: \u2018Mother and I have the honour to reciprocate by sending you a booklet about to be published (12 January) by the BMJ on our George III &amp; House of Stuart &amp; Hanover studies \u2013 we hope you will enjoy it\u2019. The letter concludes with a postscript \u2018[y]ou are mentioned in footnote 14\u2019 (footnote 14 of \u2018Porphyria in the Royal Houses of Stuart, Hanover, and Prussia\u2019 refers to Keynes\u2019s&nbsp;<em>The Life of William Harvey<\/em>).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"469\" src=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/3089_03.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/3089_03.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/3089_03-288x300.jpg 288w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/3089_03-336x350.jpg 336w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hunter\u2019s second letter to Keynes, written the following day, explains that \u2018our letters must have crossed\u2019 and mentions the copy of&nbsp;<em>Porphyria \u2013 A Royal Malady<\/em>&nbsp;which had already been sent. After discussing Keynes\u2019s work on Harvey, Hunter writes, apparently in response to a reference provided by Keynes, that \u2018[w]e are not sure whether porphyria could account for the \u201cbeneficial evacuation of nature\u201d on King James\u2019s left arm [reported by Harvey] but it is not impossible &amp; is certainly an interesting suggestion\u2019. The final item in the group is a further paper on George III\u2019s illness, inscribed to Keynes by Hunter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Macalpine and Hunter\u2019s hypothesis was (and remains) controversial, and much of the contemporary debate about it took place in the correspondence columns of the&nbsp;<em>British Medical Journal<\/em>, and Keynes evidently read and collected these pieces, which he extracted from the individual issues and kept with his copy of the book. The year after&nbsp;<em>Porphyria \u2013 A Royal Malady<\/em>&nbsp;was published, Macalpine and Hunter\u2019s wrote&nbsp;<em>George III and the Mad-Business<\/em>&nbsp;(1969), which was a primary source for Alan Bennett\u2019s play&nbsp;<em>The Madness of George III<\/em>&nbsp;(1991) \u2013 indeed, Macalpine is a character in the final scene of the play \u2013 and the film&nbsp;<em>The Madness of King George<\/em>&nbsp;(1994).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u00a3149.50<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.typeandforme.com\/product\/ida-macalpine-and-richard-hunter-small-collection-books-letters-on-porphyria-1968\/\" style=\"background-color:#003b7a;letter-spacing:0.5px\"><strong>Order this group from the Type &amp;
