KIDD, JOHN (1775-1851) , English physician, chemist and geologist, born at Westminster on the loth of September 1775, was the son of a naval officer, Captain, John
Kidd
 . He was educated at Bury St Edmunds and Westminster, and after-wards at Christ
Church
 ,
Oxford
 , where he graduated B.A. in 1797 (M.D. in 1804). He also studied at Guy's
Hospital
 
    See Also:
, London (1797-1801), where he was a pupil of Sir
Astley
  Cooper. He became reader in
chemistry
  at
Oxford
  in 18o1, and in 1803 was elected the first Aldrichian professor of
chemistry
 . He then voluntarily gave courses of lectures on
mineralogy
  and geology: these were delivered in the dark chambers under the Ashmelean Museum, and there J. J. and W. D. Conybeare, W. Buckland, C. G. B. Daubeny and others gained their first lessons in geology.
Kidd
  was a popular and instructive lecturer, and through his efforts the
geological
  chair, first held by Buckland, was established. In 1818 he became a F. R. C. P.; in 1822 regius professor of
medicine
  in succession to Sir Christopher Pegge; and in 1834 he was appointed keeper of the Radcliffe Library. He delivered the Harveian oration before the Royal College of Physicians in 1834. He died at Oxford on the 7th of September 1851.
