  • Shakspere and the Medical Sciences
    THE BRISTOL fll>eMco=Cbiriu*gical Journal. DECEMBER, 1887. , J SHAKSPERE AND THE MEDICAL SCIENCES. ftbe presidential BDfcress at tbe opening, on October I2tb, 1SS7, of tbe Utb Session of tbe JGrlstol /nbcOtco = Cblrnrgleal Society BY L. M. Griffiths, M.R.C.S. Eng., L.R.C.P. Ed. It has almost become a stereotyped plan for the president of a society like ours to introduce into his address, by way of preface, a statement, more or less in detail, that for the fulfilment of the.duties of the office he is much less capable than any of his predecessors. This is probably an out- come of the retiring modesty of the Profession in its individual capacity and of the desire to carry out the apostolic precept of esteeming others better than one's self. If it were absolutely true?and if it were a fact that the welfare of the constitution depended upon the nominal 17 226 MR. L. M. GRIFFITHS president a society which had got to its fourteenth session with a steady deterioration constantly going on would indeed be in a sad state. I shall try to avoid the mistake of offering this customary apology, because to doubt the wisdom of the choice of the members seems to me to cast a slur upon the intelligence of the electing body, and I think it is more becoming, when elected, to enter manfully into the duties of the office and do the best that in one lies. But the choice of the subject of an address involved considerable difficulty.

  • The Dissenting Tradition in English Medicine of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
    Medical History, 1995, 39: 197-218 The Dissenting Tradition in English Medicine of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries WILLIAM BIRKEN* In England, medicine has always been something of a refuge for individuals whose lives have been dislocated by religious and political strife. This was particularly true in the seventeenth century when changes in Church and State were occurring at a blinding speed. In his book The experience of defeat, Christopher Hill has described the erratic careers of a number of radical clergy and intellectuals who studied and practised medicine in times of dislocation. A list pulled together from Hill's book would include: John Pordage, Samuel Pordage, Henry Stubbe, John Webster, John Rogers, Abiezer Coppe, William Walwyn and Marchamont Nedham.1 Medicine as a practical option for a lost career, or to supplement and subsidize uncertain careers, can also be found among Royalists and Anglicans when their lives were similarly disrupted during the Interregnum. Among these were the brilliant Vaughan twins, Thomas, the Hermetic philosopher, and Henry, the metaphysical poet and clergyman; the poet, Abraham Cowley; and the mercurial Nedham, who was dislocated both as a republican and as a royalist. The Anglicans Ralph Bathurst and Mathew Robinson were forced to abandon temporarily their clerical careers for medicine, only to return to the Church when times were more propitious. In the middle of the eighteenth century the political and religious disabilities of non-juring Anglicanism were still potent enough to impel Sir Richard Jebb to a successful medical career. But by and large the greatest impact on medicine came from the much larger group of the displaced, the English Dissenters, whose combination of religion and medicine were nothing short of remarkable.

  • Silver Collection Catalogue
    Silver Catalogue Silver collection catalogue Introduction This display shows some of the finest silverware in the collection owned by the Royal College of Physicians (RCP). All of the items have been collected in the last 350 years and reflect the events in the RCP’s history as well as the lives and generosity of its fellows and members. Rare and costly metals have been the first choice for ceremonial objects and symbols of authority since ancient times, and it is known that the College had a collection of silver by the 1600s. Unfortunately, during the Great Plague of 1665 the physicians abandoned London, leaving the College’s premises unguarded. During this time the silver was nearly all stolen, with only two items escaping the plundering. One of the surviving items was the demonstration rod of William Harvey (11) which, it is thought, he used during his ground-breaking Lumleian lecture to demonstrate the circulation of the blood. The other item was Baldwin Hamey’s silver inkstand bell (26). The following year, in 1666, the College was again struck by disaster when the Great Fire of London completely destroyed the building and almost all of its contents. It was a number of years before fellows had the finances to donate silver, and the need to rebuild its premises left the RCP itself without the resources to replenish the losses. Only three pieces were added over the next 45 years: a silver salver, the head of the porter’s staff and the mace (30 and 29). In 1719, president Sir Hans Sloane and other RCP officers presented a selection of silver plate to begin replacing the stolen items.

  • John Locke, Thomas Sydenham, and the Authorship of Two Medical Essays Peter Anstey and John Burrows
    John Locke, Thomas Sydenham, and the Authorship of Two Medical Essays Peter Anstey and John Burrows Amongst the Shaftesbury Papers in the National Archives are two short medical essays in the hand of the English philosopher John Locke. One is entitled ‘Anatomia’ and from its endorsement we know that it was composed in 1668. The other is endorsed ‘Ars Medica 1669’ and ‘De Arte med[ica] 1669’. 1 Thus these two essays pre-date the early drafts of Locke’s most important philosophical work An Essay concerning Human Understanding (1690). The early drafts of the Essay , drafts A and B, were composed in 1671. As it happens, the contents of the earlier medical essays are not only extremely interesting in their own right but may bear importantly on both our understanding of Locke’s own intellectual development and on the origins of the Essay itself. However, any analysis of the contents of these medical essays is complicated by the fact that since the mid-1960s some scholars have attributed their authorship to the London physician and friend of Locke, Thomas Sydenham. The resolution of the question of the authorship of ‘Anatomia’ and ‘De arte medica’ has recently been described as ‘one of the most difficult tasks of Locke scholarship’. 2 It is the purpose of this study to lay the question of authorship to rest by providing a fresh analysis of the arguments for and against Sydenham’s authorship and Locke’s authorship, and by applying the latest techniques of computational stylistics to the texts themselves. Part One: An assessment of the arguments for and against Lockean authorship of ‘Anatomia’ and ‘De arte medica’, by Peter Anstey The first section of this first part of the paper outlines the history of the attribution of authorship of the dubia, that is ‘Anatomia’ and ‘De arte medica’.

  • Dr. John King (1614-1681) and Dr. Assuerus Regemorter
    DR. JOHN KING (1614-1681) AND DR. ASSUERUS REGEMORTER (1615-1650) BRETHREN IN THE DUTCH CHURCH AND IN THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS OF LONDON, WITH ADDED REFERENCES TO OTHER "DUTCH" CONGREGANTS IN THE ROYAL COLLEGE, DR. BALDWIN HAMEY AND DR. GEORGE ENT by WILLIAM BIRKEN* This paper is principally concerned with the life and background of the hitherto obscure Dr. John King. However, in telling his story aspects of Dr. Assuerus Regemorter and, to a lesser extent, Dr. Baldwin Hamey and Dr. George Ent, inevitably appear. Between 1634 and 1648, all these men were admitted as Fellows to the Royal College ofPhysicians ofLondon. During the same period as well, their names appeared on the membership lists of the Dutch Church in London, at Austin Friars. In the cases of both Dr. King and Dr. Regemorter this relationship to the Dutch Church and its community was both intimate and lifelong. Coincidentally, it was also during a similar period, 1634 to 1643, that the Dutch Church faced the greatest threat to its existence in all its 425-year history in England. As Dr. Johannes Lindeboom has written in his history ofAustin Friars: Never has the relationship of the foreigners to the State Church been more difficult and more in the nature of a rope that hurts through being drawn too tightly, than in the days of Archbishop Laud, during the reign ofCharles I. The image ofthe too tightly drawn rope is actually too mild. The attitude of the State Church developed into an effort to strangle the life of the Community entirely, and thus to cause its eventual extinction." The details of this struggle can be found in a number of sources.2 Its real significance was in firmly joining the interests of the Dutch Church with the Parliamentary opposi- tion to the Laudian-Caroline State.

  • Christopher Merrett, Artisanal Knowledge, and Professional Reform in Restoration London
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by PubMed Central Medical History, 2012, 56: 26–47 ‘By Merit Raised to That Bad Eminence’: Christopher Merrett, Artisanal Knowledge, and Professional Reform in Restoration London AARON MAUCK* Abstract: This article examines the career and reform agenda of Christopher Merrett as a means of evaluating the changing conditions of medical knowledge production in late seventeenth-century London. This period was characterised by increasing competition between medical practitioners, resulting from the growing consumer demand for medical commodities and services, the reduced ability of elite physicians to control medical practice, and the appearance of alternative methods of producing medical knowledge – particularly experimental methods. This competition resulted in heated exchanges between physicians, apothecaries, and virtuosi, in which Merrett played an active part. As a prominent member of both the Royal Society and the Royal College of Physicians, Merrett sought to mediate between the two institutions by introducing professional reforms designed to alleviate competition and improve medical knowledge. These reforms entailed sweeping changes to medical regulation and education that integrated the traditional reliance on Galenic principles with knowledge derived from experiment and artisanal practices. The emphasis Merrett placed on the trades suggests the important role artisanal knowledge played in his efforts to reorganise medicine and improve knowledge of bodily processes. Keywords: Christopher Merrett; Artisanal Knowledge; Natural History; Natural Philosophy; Galenism; Royal Society; Royal College of Physicians; Physicians; Virtuosi; Apothecaries; Chemical Physicians; Professional Reform; Medical Marketplace; Competition; Pamphlet War Introduction The founding of the Royal Society in 1660 proved a watershed moment for the seventeenth-century’s nascent natural history movement, providing its advocates with Ó Aaron Mauck, 2012.

  • Stone - and Did Not Prescribe for Pepys?
    Medical History, 1982, 26: 429-435. WHICH MOLINS TREATED CROMWELL FOR STONE - AND DID NOT PRESCRIBE FOR PEPYS? by G. C. R. MORRIS* THE story of Oliver Cromwell's treatment by "a certain Dr. Mollins" was first published in English in The Times of 27 September 1929.1 Reported by the paper's Milan correspondent, who had seen an advance copy of a biography of Cromwell by Eucardio Momigliano, it said: When suffering from an illness believed to be calculus, Cromwell, "with the advice of his physicians and surgeons," called in a certain Dr. Mollins, "a celebrity of the time, although completely opposed to the present Government." The doctor's opposition and freedom of tongue were tolerated in consideration of his merits. Cromwell was cured by him, but, when it came to parting, the physician said, "Wait a moment, I have not yet finished, because you will be ill again if you do not give me leave to treat you as you have treated the whole of England - that is to say, to upset you and turn you over in your bed three times." And so he did. Cromwell laughed, and willing to remunerate him said, "Ask what you want and you shall have it." The physician replied, "I want nothing, because I have not attended you out of love, but because I could not do otherwise. The only thing I wish is to have something to drink." He was therefore taken to the cellars to taste the wines there, and drank deeply with a toast to King Charles Stuart.

  • The Royal College of Physicians and Interregnum Politics
    THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS AND INTERREGNUM POLITICS by LINDSAY SHARP* When Sir George Clark wrote the official history of the College of Physicians he based much of his research on the private annals of the institution.' His work centred round the constitutional growth and structure ofthe College and proved to be extremely valuable in outlining its organic development throughout four hundred years of exis- tence. The very scale of this task meant that the history was often synoptic rather than exhaustive. Thus, of necessity, it failed at certain points to give a full picture of the wider activities and complex relationships maintained by the Fellows, both individually and corporately. One ofthe periods which received inadequate attention is to be found during the Commonwealth and Protectorate.2 To remedy this situation other com- mentators have since published studies which help to clarify the corporation's history during this period.8 However, certain fundamental questions about the relationship between the College and the government remain unanswered. Why, for example did the administration not reform this monopolistic body which many puritans regarded as socially destructive and professionally corrupt? It certainly did not refrain from taking stringent remedial action in other cases and could easily have reorganized or disbanded the corporation while utilizing the skills of individual Fellows. Instead, the government maintained a stance ofbenign neutrality towards the College, and on several occasions encouraged it to consolidate its influence. Furthermore, certain anomalies can be detected in the in- ternal politics ofthe institution which have usually gone unremarked and unexplained. *Lincsay Sharp, B.A., is The Clifford Norton Research Fellow in the History of Science, Queen's College, Oxford.
