Duncan, Francis
Francis Duncan (fl. 1788 - 1805) was a British surgeon and author. Virtually all that is known of him derives from his 1805 A Description of the Island of St. Helena, the earliest monograph of that island. Nothing is known of his youth or his death. He joined the British East India Company as a surgeon in 1788 and served in India. His journey home in 1801 took him to St. Helena, where he stayed for five weeks. It was this visit that provided the occasion for his book. The book included a view of the island and its primary town, which is presumably Duncan's composition.
