William Watson Cheyne and the Advancement of Bacteriology
William Watson Cheyne (1852–1932), a surgeon by training and a student of Joseph Lister, was a prominent British bacteriologist who published 60 papers and 13 monographs from 1879 to 1927. A proponent of the idea that bacteriology and medicine were interdependent disciplines, he investigated the causes and treatment of wound infections, tuberculosis, cholera, tetanus and gangrene. In 1897, he organized an historical outline of 19th century bacteriology in five landmark periods of discovery, each defined by the work of an influential figure. This study documents his contributions to the history of microbiology and describes his activities as a laboratory investigator, clinician, surgeon, translator, editor and educator.
The Ten Years' Conflict and the Disruption
This is a revised reprint of a small booklet first published by Scottish Academic Press in 1993. It deals with the events of the Disruption of 1843, described as the most important event in Scottish history between the Act of Union and the establishment of devolved government. Professor Cheyne sketches the background to the great "walk-out" (from the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland) and traces the development of the struggles between Moderates and Evangelicals, churchmen and politicians, and civil and ecclesiastical courts. He argues that the controversies of 150 years ago have a resonance even today.
