    PHILOSOPHICAL TRANSACTIONS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. (B.) FOR THE YEAR MDCCCLXXXVII. VOL. 178. LONDON: PRINTED BY HARRISON AND SONS, ST. MARTIN’S LANE, W C., printers in Ordinary to Her Majesty. MDCCCLXXXVIII. ADVERTISEMENT. The Committee appointed by the Royal Society to direct the publication of the Philosophical Transactions take this opportunity to acquaint the public that it fully appears, as well from the Council-books and Journals of the Society as from repeated declarations which have been made in several former , that the printing of them was always, from time to time, the single act of the respective Secretaries till the Forty-seventh Volume; the Society, as a Body, never interesting themselves any further in their publication than by occasionally recommending the revival of them to some of their Secretaries, when, from the particular circumstances of their affairs, the Transactions had happened for any length of time to be intermitted. And this seems principally to have been done with a view to satisfy the public that their usual meetings were then continued, for the improvement of knowledge and benefit of mankind : the great ends of their first institution by the Boyal Charters, and which they have ever since steadily pursued. But the Society being of late years greatly enlarged, and their communications more numerous, it was thought advisable that a Committee of their members should be appointed to reconsider the papers read before them, and select out of them such as. they should judge most proper for publication in the future Transactions; which was accordingly done upon the 26th of March, 1752.

Mrs Lydia Maxfield was 85 years of age at the time of her death. She lived in Drouin with her son Robert and was mobile and independent in activities of daily life. 2. Mrs Maxfield’s medical history included osteoarthritis, hypertension, ischaemic heart disease,1 ulcerative oesophagitis, obesity,2 right hip replacement (2009), right knee replacement (2012), and left hip replacement (2013). 3. Following left hip replacement surgery in January 2013, Mrs Maxfield developed ‘indigestion’, was found to be anaemic and received a blood transfusion, after which the symptoms spontaneously settled. Six weeks post-operative, Mrs Maxfield was reviewed by interventional cardiologist Dr Tony White, and a persantin nuclear myocardial perfusion scan3 was performed. Mrs Maxfield’s cardiac ejection fraction4 was found to be 65 per cent with limited uptake in the basal lateral wall, which was suggestive of stenosis in the circumflex artery. Dr White summarised: Mrs Maxfield has had an episode of probable angina post-operatively…she is now asymptomatic […] I would like to advocate conservative management.

  • Thomas Vicary Lecture
    THOMAS VICARY LECTURE THE RENAISSANCE AND ITS INFLUENCE ON ENGLISH MEDICINE SURGERY AND PUBLIC HEALTH By Sir Arthur Salusbury MacNalty, K.C.B., M.D., F.R.C.P., F.R.C.S. THOMAS VICARY, Serjeant-Surgeon to King Henry VIII, King Edward VI, Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, Master of the Barbers' Company, four times Master of the Barber-Surgeons' Company and Surgeon to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, flourished as England's leading surgeon from 1527 to 1562. His life was passed in stirring times. A new world had been discovered by Columbus. Vicary saw the convulsive change produced by the Reformation and the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the fires at Smithfield and Oxford smoking with the blood of the martyrs, and above all he experienced the influence of the Renaissance and the birth of freedom of thought, individual initiative and action which guided him in his work for British surgery. It was in the times of Thomas Vicary, then, that a new spirit arose in national thought, and amid a despotic rule, much oppression and injustice, it is possible to trace advances in medicine and surgery, in public health, in social medicine and in culture and education. It was not until the value of Greek thought became manifest to the practical Englishman that the influence of the Renaissance became widespread. This heritage was brought to England by a band of Oxford men known as the Humanists. The teaching of Colet, Grocyn and Linacre, together with young Thomas More, made Oxford famous as a seat of learning. Bishop Fox in 1516 founded Corpus Christi College at Oxford in the interests of the new learning, and John Fisher promoted the spread of Hellenic thought at Cambridge.

  • Queen Victoria's Medical Household
    Medical History, 1982,26:307-320. QUEEN VICTORIA'S MEDICAL HOUSEHOLD by A. M. COOKE* On the 24th of May, 1819, at Kensington Palace it was announced that: Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent was safely delivered of a Princess this morning at a quarter past five o'clock. Her Royal Highness and the Princess are doing well. D. D. Davis J. Wilson DRS. DAVIS AND WILSON were the first of a long line of medical men who attended, or were appointed to attend, Queen Victoria throughout her lifetime of nearly eighty-two years. Also assisting at the birth was a midwife, Friaulein Siebold, who, although she also held a medical qualification, did not sign the bulletin. It is an interesting coincidence that the Frilulein also attended at the birth of Prince Albert. We do not know what other medical attendants Victoria had as a child or before she came to the throne, but we know the medical staff of her father and mother. When ill, doubtless she would have been attended by one of them. Date ofdeath David Daniel Davis Attended Queen 1841 James Wilson 841 Friulein Siebold ) Victoria's birth 9 William George Maton 1835 John Merriman (Apothecary) 1839 Sir Joseph de Courcy Laffan, Bt. 1848 Sir Robert Alexander Chermside 1860 Richard Blagden 1861 James Clark 1870 As a girl Victoria was kept strictly under her mother's thumb, was told that she was inexperienced and immature, and that she would require much help when she came to the throne. This is thought to have been part of a plan by her mother and her mother's Comptroller, Sir John Conroy, to make her mother Regent.
