Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

William Newland was practising as a surgeon at Guildford in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Medical Registers for 1779, 1780 and 1783 all list him under Surgeons and Apothecaries in Guildford, Surrey. Apprenticeship records used by Wallis and Wallis in Eighteenth Century Medics, reveal that William Newland was Master to the following apprentices at Guildford: Richard Chance, 1767; William Parson, 1777; Caleb Woodyer, 1782; and Harry Baker, 1800. Wallis and Wallis also list Newland's practice in Guildford in 1800 as Newlands and Co Mssrs. An apprencticeship indenture held at the Wellcome Library adds James Rymer, 1810 to this list of apprentices of William Newland, and in this case Rymer was also apprencticed to Caleb Woodyer.
