The Surprising Doctor Welwood: Physician and Polemicist

deBeer ES . Dictionary of National Biography Supplement: Corrections and Additions. Boston, 1966 [The supplement corrects the spelling of his name (Wellwood) and his parentage given in the entry by Norman Moore in several editions of the DNB, and properly identifies his Scottish university as St Andrews not Glasgow and his medical school as Rheims not Leyden. Another usually reliable source of biographical information on British physicians, William Munk's two-volume Roll of the Royal College of Physicians, is also wrong about Welwood, suggesting his name may have been Velvud, perhaps a Danish cousin to James I's Queen Anne, and that his MD was from Padua. (See Munk, Roll of the Royal College of Physicians, 2 vol(s). London, 1871 1:483.) I have not been able to determine conclusively the religious affiliation of Welwood's clergyman father, nor of Welwood himself.].
