Andrew Duncan Senior published his first book, 'Elements of Therapeutics', in 1770. Duncan held the position of Professor of Institutes of Medicine at the University of Edinburgh for 30 years. He also established 'Medical and Philosophical Commentaries', a quarterly medical journal, in 1773. This was the first medical review to be regularly published in Great Britain and by 1780 it was translated into German and was publishing news from medical societies in France, Denmark, Russia and America. Importantly, Duncan was also responsible for the foundation of a public dispensary, later the Royal Public Dispensary, which provided free medical advice and medicines to the poor of Edinburgh. Duncan also proposed plans for a public lunatic asylum, which was built in Morningside in 1807.
