William Collins Engledue
William Collins Engledue (1813–1858), M.D. (Edinburgh, 1835), M.R.C.S. (Edinburgh, 1835), M.R.C.S. (London, 1835), L.S.A. (1835), L.A.C. (1836), was an English physician, surgeon, apothecary, mesmerist and phrenologist.
A former President of the British Phrenological Association, Engledue was ostracized by both his medical colleagues for his dedication to mesmerism and phrenology, and by the majority of phrenologists for his rejection of their "socio-religious", spiritual position,〔Such as that maintained by William Scott, President of the Edinburgh Phrenological Society, in his (''" The Harmony of Phrenology with Scripture: Shewn in a Refutation of the Philosophical Errors contained in Mr Combe's "Constitution of Man"'' (1837) ); and by Mrs John Pugh (S.D. Pugh) in her (Phrenology Considered in a Religious Light; or, Thoughts and Readings Consequent on the Perusal of "Combe's Constitution of Man"'' (1846) ), etc.〕 in favour of a scientific, materialist, brain-centred position that, in effect, reduced mental operations to physical forces.〔Cooter (1984), p.94.〕
In concert with John Elliotson, M.D., Engledue was the co-editor of ''The Zoist: A Journal of Cerebral Physiology & Mesmerism, and Their Applications to Human Welfare'', an influential British journal, devoted to the promotion of the theories and practices (and the collection and dissemination of reports of the applications) of mesmerism and phrenology, and the enterprise of "connecting and harmonizing practical science with little understood laws governing the mental structure of man",〔Godwin (1994), p.213.〕 that was published quarterly, without a break, for fifteen years: from March 1843 until January 1856.
==Education==
Born at Portsea in 1813, the son of John Engledue and Joanna Engledue (née Watson), he was a brilliant student. Sent to the University of Edinburgh by Dr. John Porter (1770-1855), M.D. (first president of the ''Portsmouth and Portsea Literary and Philosophical Society'') to whom he was originally apprenticed, Engledue took his final exams after only two years study. At Edinburgh, he took prizes for proficiency in surgery, pathology and practice of physic, practical anatomy, and physiology; and was also the President of the Royal Medical Society of Edinburgh.〔Anon (1859).〕
