Sanderson

Sanderson, JOHN SCOTT BURDON (b. 1828), an eminent physiologist, was born in the north of England, and studied at Edinburgh University, taking a medical degree. For a time he practised as a physician, but ultimately became professor of physiology at University College (1874-82). In the latter year he was appointed to the chair of physiology at Oxford, and is recognised as one of the greatest authorities in that science. His best-known works are his Handbook of the Sphygmograph (1867), Handbook for the Physiological Laboratory (1873), and his Course of Practical Lectures (1882).
