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.

The London Library and the Intelligentsia of Victorian London
The London Library and the Intelligentsia of Victorian London Helen O’Neill [I]t is clear that the existence of an intelligentsia is more often asserted than it is demonstrated, and more often assumed than it is explored. William Whyte he diplomat, author, and lawyer W. D. Christie articulated the founding principles of the Society of Tthe London Library in a published letter to the Earl of Clarendon. Christie declared that the Library would play a role in the intellectual life of the nation by “guiding and lightening the labours of those who build up the nation’s wisdom and the nation’s fame” (32). Established in 1841 as a lending library for subscribing members nine years after the First Reform Act (1832), nearly a decade before the Public Libraries Act (1850), and more than a quarter century before the Second Reform Act (1867), the London Library provided a singular service in the metropolis offering books “in all departments of knowledge and in all languages” (Christie 34) to subscribing members that were not available from circulating libraries or for loan from the British Museum. Pre-dating the Science Museum, Natural History Museum, National Portrait Gallery, and Victoria and Albert Museum, the London Library remains a subscription lending library today. Its book collections acquired since 1841 by purchase, donation, and bequest number in excess of one million volumes, have not been subject to systematic stock weeding, and remain therefore a remarkably intact collection CSA 31 2015/16 184 CARLYLE STUDIES ANNUAL used and shaped by its Victorian members. In 1841 the Library, capitalizing on advances in rail and post infrastructure, positioned itself as a national institution with international credentials: “The Library will contain books in all departments of literature and philosophy and in all languages.
