William Newnham (1790 1865) was a general medical practitioner,
also qualified as an apothecary, who played a prominent role in his
profession and was widely recognised for his skill. His particular
medical interest lay within the fields of gynaecology and
obstetrics, although he also published several papers on topics
including phrenology and human magnetism. This 1830 publication
contains a series of essays he had recently written for The
Christian Observer. In them, Newnham argues that dreams, visions,
apparitions and other apparently spiritual manifestations, whether
good or bad, arise from physiological rather than supernatural
causes. He provides evidence that the effects on the brain from
disease, medications (including nitrous oxide and opium) and
trauma, causing 'disturbance of brainular function', can produce
such experiences. Anticipating criticism, he insists that the light
of science benefits true religion rather than undermining it,
contrasting 'real Christianity' with 'superstitious' creeds
including Catholicism, Islam and Hinduism.
