This is the first comprehensive study of the life and work of
Andrew Fernando Holmes, famous for his work on congenital heart
disease. Physician, surgeon, natural historian, educator,
Protestant evangelical. Andrew Fernando Holmes's name is synonymous
with the McGill medical faculty and with the discovery of a
congenital heart malformation known as the "Holmes heart." Born in
captivity at Cadiz, Spain, Holmes immigrated to Lower Canada in the
first decade of the nineteenth century. He arrived in a province
that was experiencing profound social, economic, and cultural
change as the result of a long process of integration into the
British Atlantic world. A transatlantic perspective, therefore,
undergirds this biography, from an exploration of how Holmes's
family members were participants in an Atlantic world of trade and
consumption, to explaining how his educational experiences at
Edinburgh and Paris informed his approach to the practice of
medicine, medical education, and medical politics.
