or CHALDWALL, RICHARD, a learned physician, born in Staffordshire, about 1513. He studied physic in Brasen-nose College, Oxford, and was examined, admitted into, and made censor of, the College of Physicians at London, all in one day. Six weeks after he was chosen one of the elects; and in 1570 he was made president of that college. Wood says that Caldwell wrote several essays on professional subjects. Camden mentions that he founded, and handsomely endowed, a chirurgical lecture in the College of Physicians. These lectures, known as the Lumleian Lectures, are still given. He died in 1585.
