Theophilus Redwood

Theophilus Redwood (9 April 1806 – 5 March 1892) was a Welsh pharmacist who was one of the founding members of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain.

Redwood translated Karl Friedrich Mohr’s Lehrbuch der pharmaceutischen Technik,[2] and adapted it to English practice.

The result was Practical Pharmacy: The Arrangements, Apparatus, and Manipulation of the Pharmaceutical Shop and Laboratory, by Francis Mohr and Theophilus Redwood, Taylor, Walton, and Maberly, London, 1849.

After his retirement in 1885, he received the title of Emeritus Professor by unanimous vote of the Council of the Pharmaceutical Society.

He moved back to the family home in Boverton, which he had inherited, but still continued to lecture.
