Notes

 
Son of Dr William Cullen. Studied medicine at Edinburgh University, but went into the legal profession in London. His medical dissertation, De Frigore, Ejusque Vi Et Effectibus in Corpus Humanum, which clearly reflected his father's interests in refrigeration and the effects of climate, is mentioned in Case 553.
