==Life==
Falconer was born at Chester on 23 February 1744, the younger of two surviving sons of William Falconer of the Inner Temple, recorder of Chester, by marriage with his second cousin, Elizabeth, daughter of Randle Wilbraham Falconer of Townsend, near Nantwich, Cheshire. He studied medicine at Edinburgh, where he took the degree of M.D. in 1766.〔Dissertatio Medica Inauguralis, ‘De Nephritide Vera,’ Edinburgh, 1766〕 From Edinburgh he went to Leyden, where he attended the lectures of Hieronymus David Gaubius and Bernhard Siegfried Albinus, proceeding M.D. there on 28 May 1767.〔Index of Leyden Students, Index Soc. p. 34〕 He had been previously admitted an extra-licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians on 12 March 1767. In the same year he was appointed physician to the Chester Infirmary.
After building up a good practice in Chester, Falconer, at the suggestion of Dr. John Fothergill, removed to Bath, Somerset in January 1770, where he was equally successful. On 18 March 1773 he became F.R.S. On 12 May 1784 he was elected physician to the Bath General Hospital, an appointment which he retained until 10 February 1819. He was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1800.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amacad.org/publications/BookofMembers/ChapterF.pdf )〕 He died at his house in the Circus, Bath, on 31 August 1824, and was buried at Weston, near the city.
His wife, Henrietta, daughter of Thomas Edmunds of Worsbrough Hall, Yorkshire, had died on 10 September 1803. He left a son, Thomas Falconer. His portrait by Daniel was engraved by James Fittler.
