ERICHSEN, SIR JOHN ERIC , Bart. (18181896), British surgeon, born on the 19th of July 1818 at
Copenhagen
 , was the son of Eric Erichsen, a member of a well-known Danish family. He studied
medicine
  at University College, London, and at Paris, devoting himself in the early years of his career to
physiology
 , and lecturing on general anatomy and
physiology
  at University College
hospital

, and in 185o became full surgeon and professor of surgery, his lectures and clinical teaching being much admired; and in 1875 he joined the consulting staff. His Science and Art of Surgery (1853) went through many editions. He rose to be president of the College of Surgeons in 1880. From 1879 to 1881 he was president of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society. He was created a
baronet
  in 1895, having been for some years surgeon-extraordinary to Queen Victoria. As a surgeon his reputation was world-wide, and he
counts
  (says Sir W. MacCormac in his volume on the Centenary of the Royal College of Surgeons) " among the makers of modern surgery." He was a recognized authority on concussion of the spine, and was often called to give evidence in
court
  on obscure cases caused by railway accidents, &c. He died at Folkestone on the 23rd of September 1896.
