So, it seems appropriate now to reflect more widely beyond the normal hori- zon of the Annual Report. Our founders in 1768 comprised some of the greatest figures of the British Enlightenment, King George III, Reynolds, West and Chambers, supported and advised by a wider circle of thinkers and intellectuals such as Edmund Burke and Samuel Johnson. It is no exaggeration to suggest that their original inten- tions for what the Academy should be are closer to realisation than ever before. They proposed a school, an exhibition and a membership.

  • Fulham Doctors of the Past *
    FULHAM DOCTORS OF THE PAST * by A. L. WYMAN ORIGINALLY the manor of Fulham comprised both Fulham and Hammersmith but even early in the seventeenth century there was a Fulham side and a Hammersmith side, and the accounts were rendered separately. It was a village near London, situated on the Thames where the river was fordable and the gravelly soil suitable for an early settlement. This was the town where the church was built and the ferry plied to Putney. There were hamlets at Parsons Green and Walham Green and smaller ones at North End and Sands End. It was pleasant enough and convenient enough for London to attract the upper classes. The population was about 730 in the time ofEdward VI (1547/8) and over 2,000 towards the end ofthe seventeenth century. This would be in a population in England of about four million and in London of between 100,000-200,000 (1600). In Roque's map of 1813 we find much the same general pattern. The community was primarily a rural one, with employment on the land as husbandmen, gardeners, labourers, or on the river as fisherman and watermen. As late as 1801 the census shows more people engaged in agricultural pursuits than in trade. When we come to the doctors it is necessary to make a broad distinction between those who are associated with Fulham because they lived or died there and those who worked there. Some of the former were illustrious but for the most part their main activities were elsewhere and they did not provide any kind of medical service to the local inhabitants, as did the more obscure practitioners who lived and worked in the parish.

I am referring, of course, to the Royal Opera House in Valletta. Its image appears in countless books and Websites. It acts like a time machine propelling us back to various points in history. The version we see today bears all the hallmarks of the Luftwaffe attack of April 7, 1942. This left the building a smoking shell. The smoke might have cleared but the shell still remains. In this article I wish to add my voice to those who favour permanently keeping this architectural skeleton and explain why I believe it should be 'restored'. This is first and foremost because the Opera House has had such an exceptionally eventful history. Its fateful story began long before the Luftwaffe menaced the skies of Malta. A sign of things to come occurred a few years after its inauguration in 1866 when the building was gutted by fire. Joseph Bonnici and Michael Cassar's fascinating book on The Royal Opera House (1990) relates this and many other stories, revealing in the process that controversy and disaster has stalked the building from the very moment it was conceived. This was perhaps inevitable, given that the architect was Edward Middleton Barry (1830-80).
