William Newnham (1790–1865) was a general practitioner who was also licensed as an apothecary. He was well-known in his field and respected for his abilities. He wrote various studies on subjects including phrenology and human magnetism, but his major medical focus was in the fields of gynecology and obstetrics. He had lately authored a number of essays for The Christian Observer, which are included in this 1830 issue. In them, Newnham makes the case that all kinds of ostensibly spiritual phenomena—whether positive or negative—arise from physiological rather than supernatural causes. He offers evidence that 'disturbance of granular function' caused by sickness, drugs (such as nitrous oxide and opium), and trauma can result in such experiences. He contrasts real Christianity with superstitious religions like Catholicism, Islam, and Hinduism, and anticipates criticism by insisting that the light of science aids true religion rather than damaging it.
