The Case Books of Dr. John Snow THE CASE BOOKS OF DR. JOHN SNOW (Medical History, Supplement No. 14) 77F 4 4.Gii DR. JOHN SNOW (1813-1858) This photograph was one of a series entitled Literary and Scientific Portrait Club which consisted of a uniform set of portraits, assembled some time during or after 1857, of more than 1,100 eminent, literary and scientific men of the time. The terms of admission to the "club" required "each member having a photograph of himself taken by the artists of the club, Messrs. Maull and Polybank, 55 Gracechurch Street and 1 87a Piccadilly, at the cost of IOs. 6d. including an impression of himself". (J. S. Bowerbank, Literary and Scientific Portrait Club, Heinz Archive and Library of the National Portrait Gallery, London, File P 106, 1-20.) Copyright © The Trustee, The Wellcome Trust, 1994.

The transcription was made possible only by the kindness of Mr. Geoffrey Davenport, Librarian of the Royal College of Physicians of London, who allowed me unlimited access to the original manuscripts and who has been unwaveringly supportive of the project since its inception in 1985. I am most grateful to him, and to his colleagues, for their expert help so freely given during the last nine years. I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to Dr. Melvin Earles, the distinguished historian of pharmacy. Making light of his other academic work, he willingly undertook the time- consuming task of transcribing all of Snow's prescriptions and other pharmaceutical notations. The great majority of these consist of drugs which are unfamiliar to present-day students, with the prescribed dosages denoted in the nowadays obscure apothecaries' measure. In addition, Dr. Earles has written a learned commentary on the historical background to Snow's pharmaceutical entries, and has provided a glossary of the drugs which Snow commonly used. The expert graphological opinions of Dr. Anne Summers, Curator in the Department of Manuscripts at the British Library, have been most helpful in deciphering several of Snow's more cryptic entries. I have valued the encouragement, and the helpful comments of Dr. Richard Atkinson and Sir Ian Fraser, each of whom has previously examined the Case Books and written erudite papers based on them. My work could not have been completed without the help of a large number of people who have charge of unique manuscript collections and other archival material. I am particularly indebted to David Stewart, Librarian at the Royal Society of Medicine, to Ian Lyle, Librarian of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, and to Janina Morris, Librarian at the Medical College of the Royal Hospital of St. Bartholomew. I am grateful to Christine Patel, the History Librarian at St. George's Hospital Medical School for allowing me to reproduce the manuscript letter written by John Snow to Professor Brande. It is a pleasure to acknowledge the assistance of Librarians, and their staffs, at the British Library, the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine, London's Guildhall Library, the Greater London Record Office, the Royal Society of Medicine, the British Medical Association, the National Postal Museum, the City of Westminster Local History Library, the National Army Museum, the National Maritime Museum, the Honourable Society of Lincoln's Inn, and Lambeth Palace. I am glad to acknowledge the guidance which I have received from Professor William Bynum, Head of the Academic Unit at the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine, and from Caroline Tonson-Rye, assistant editor of Medical History. Their expertise and advice have been invaluable. My wife, Elizabeth, and our children, Charlotte, Nicolette, and Thomas, have shared my enthusiasm for this work. It could not have been undertaken without their wholehearted support, and would not have been completed without the many sacrifices which they have willingly made during the last nine years. Richard H. Ellis vii THE CASE BOOKS OF DR. JOHN SNOW NOTE ON THE INDEXES The page numbers in these indexes refer to the pages of the original manuscripts. They appear within the transcription inside curly brackets, and they are also indicated in the margins. The people, places, and medical conditions listed in these indexes are noted in the form in which John Snow described them. Those people whom he did not name are entered under the name of the persons to whom they were related (e.g. Aikin, boy ofMr. Chas.), or their employer (e.g. Barker, servant of Mr.), or their profession (e.g. attorney in Norwich), or the place from which they came (e.g. Cambridgeshire, lady from). As pointed out in the Introduction (p.xxviii), Snow sometimes spelt surnames in more than one way, and in this and other circumstances where it is not always possible to tell if they apply to the same person each version has a separate entry. As with people, Snow did not always refer to a certain place in the same way, or may not always have given the full name. Some entries therefore may refer to the same place, but since it is impossible to be sure, they have been listed separately. In the Index of Medical Conditions the entry relating to co-existent diseases refers to illnesses from which his patients suffered in addition to that for which the operation was intended (see Introduction p.xxxvi). 567 INDEX OF DENTISTS A F Anderson, Mr., 314 Featherstone, Mr., 290, 607, 628, 860 Ash, Mr., 538, 645 Fletcher, Mr., 49, 247, 349, 383, 399, 404, 428, 451, 461,478,485,519,532,535,538,568,606,629, 640, 642, 658, 703, 742, 763, 795, 800, 804, 809, 825, 846, 849 B Barclay, Mr., 372 Bell, Mr., 484, 760, 807, 859 G Bigg, Mr., 673-675, 696, 715, 760, 802, 829, 837, George, Mr., 327 876-877, 882, 886, 897, 904, 910, 917 Gilbert, Mr., 562 Gregson, Mr., 834, 844 C Canton, 417-418 H Canton, Mr., 230, 293, 324, 330, 338-339, 345, Hampson, Mr., 34, 228, 543-544 358, 369, 375-376, 380, 394, 397-399, 407, 410, Harrison, Mr., 128, 176, 189 420-421,4426, 436, 442, 452-454, 462, 473, 475, Hartry, Mr., 656, 664, 742 480,485,488,491,493,496, 505, 518, 523, 528, Heath, Mr., 545, 751 537,540-541,549-550,558,571,601,606,617, Hepburn, Mr., 427, 571, 810 624-625, 629, 636, 640, 647, 651, 659, 663, 684, Hockley, Mr., 727 696,711,713,718,721,727,731,735,758,760, 767, 790, 810, 837, 839, 842, 853, 855, 872, 878-879, 897, 912-913 Canton, Mr. A., 278, 280, 286 Ibbotson, Mr., 879 Canton, Mr. Alfred, 222, 243, 279, 289, 843 Canton, Mr. W.

It replaced an oval device, which had been in use since the turn of the twentieth century, on the recommendation of the Select Committee on House of Commons (Services). The portcullis probably came to be associated with the Palace of Westminster through its use, along with Tudor roses, fleurs-de-lys and pomegranates, as decoration in the rebuilding of the Palace after the fire of 1512.

Advances in medical science and medical practice throughout the twentieth century, and especially after the Second World War, have proceeded at such a pace, and with such an intensity, that they provide new and genuine challenges to historians. Scientists and clinicians themselves frequently bemoan the rate at which published material proliferates in their disciplines, and the near impossibility of ‘keeping up with the literature’. Pity, then, the poor historian, trying to make sense of this mass of published data, scouring archives for unpublished accounts and illuminating details, and attempting throughout to comprehend, contextualize, reconstruct and convey to others the stories of the recent past and their significance. The extensive published record of modern medicine and medical science raises particular problems for historians: it is often presented in a piecemeal but formal fashion, sometimes seemingly designed to conceal rather than reveal the processes by which scientific medicine is conducted.

    Report and accounts of the Duchy of Lancaster for the year ended 31 March 2014 The Duchy of Lancaster Annual Report 2014 The Duchy seeks to achieve a balance between long-term commitments to the environment, social responsibility, and commercial objectives. This approach helps to protect the interests of those individuals living in, working on and visiting the Duchy’s land and buildings while safeguarding the estate for future generations. I would like to welcome Nathan Thompson who joined the Duchy as Chief Executive Officer in 2013. Nathan has a wealth of experience in senior property roles and will certainly make a very valuable contribution. I would also like to thank both Council and all the Duchy staff for their continued loyalty, hard work and enthusiasm over the year.
