Biography
[edit | edit source]Adolph Murray was born on 13 February 1751 in Stockholm.[1] He was the youngest son of the Prussian-born preacher and theologian Andreas Murray (1695 - 1771). His brothers were the professors Johann Philipp Murray (1726-1776) and Johann Andreas Murray (1740-1791), and the Bishop Gustaf Murray (1747-1825).[2]
In 1764 Adolph Murray became a student in Uppsala, and soon became devoted to anatomy.[1] He was a pupil of Carl Linnaeus.[3] At the age of 19 his professor gave him permission to give public lectures on anatomy in Stockholm. In 1772 he received his PhD from Uppsala.[1] Adolph Murray then undertook a foreign field trip, returning in 1776. While he was away, he was appointed Professor of Anatomy and Surgery at Uppsala University.[1] Linnaeus had supported this appointment.[3] He was one of the university's most prominent teachers, and made valuable contributions to science.[1]
Adolph Murray died in Uppsala on 4 May 1803.[1] He had been a firm royalist. His son, Carl Adolph Murray, was to become American consul in Gothenburg.[4]
