External Publications
Thomson was a draughtsman, and his diagrams were long current in textbooks of anatomy and physiology. He wrote on physiological optics, on the mechanism by which the eye accommodates or focusses itself for objects at different distances.[1]
Thomson took part in editing the seventh, eighth, and ninth editions of Jones Quain's ‘Elements of Anatomy.’ He was associated in the seventh edition with Sharpey and Cleland, in the eighth with Sharpey and Schäfer, and in the ninth edition with Schäfer and Thane. He also edited the second volume of William Cullen's Life, part of his father's project to issue Cullen's Works,[2] and to the reissue of the first volume he prefixed a biographical notice of his half-brother William.[
