Assigned by Christopher Barker, Garter Principal King-at-Arms to the Company and College of the Physicians of London. A.D. 1546. Illuminated in gold and colours on vellum. This Grant of Arms to the College from the Heralds' College had been lost, probably in the confusion of the Great Fire, and was recovered by purchase, by Dr. Oliver Horseman, who presented it to the College, 25th June, 1695. ARMS OF THE COLLEGE. Carved in Stone. On the Central Staircase. The stone on which these arms are carved formed a part of the wall of the house, No. 5, Knightrider Street, which was built by a tenant of the College, shortly after (he Fire of London, on the site of the front part of Linacre's house, which he gave to the College as a Locus Comitiorum et Bibliotheccz. When this re-built house was sold to the Government, in i860, the arms were removed to the College in Pall Mall East. They were erected in their present situation in 1870. BARBER'S SHAVING AND BLEEDING BASIN. Presented in 1879, by Dr. Jelly, of Madrid. An ancient basin of Talavera ware, supposed to have been used by the barbers of Spain in the operations of both shaving and bleeding. BURWELL'S RING. Presented by the Rev. Henry Thomas Ellacombe, Rector of Clyst. St. George, Topsham, Devon. A gold ring worn by Dr. Burwell at the funeral of his uncle, Dr. Harney. The ring contains a gem cut in the form of a skull, and surrounded by amethysts. It bears no inscription, 9 CADUCEUS. Designed, and probably Presented in 1556, by Dr. John Caius, President. The Caduceus is a silver rod or sceptre, 26 inches in length and 17 ounces in weight, bearing at its head the Arms of the College, supported by four serpents placed at the corners. Dr. Caius, the designer, included the Caduceus in his Insignia Virtutis, and says the silver rod indicates that the President should rule with gentleness and clemency, unlike those of olden time who ruled with a rod of iron ; and the serpents, the symbols of prudence, teach the necessity of also ruling prudently ; while the arms of the College placed on the summit, indicate that gentleness and prudence are the means by which the College is sustained. This venerable sceptre is now (a.d. 1900) 344 years old. It is carried by the President as an ensign of honour, by which he is distinguished from the other fellows, on all important occasions, such as the holding of Comitia and the delivery of Lectures. CANDLESTICKS. Eight silver candlesticks, with snuffers and stand. Presented in 1720 by Salisbury Cade, M.D. Richard Mead, M.D. Richard Hale, M.D. John Freind, M.D. Henry Levett, M.D., Treasurer. The weight of the silver is 154 ounces. COLLEGE IN WARWICK LANE, 1674. This College was built after the Great Fire of London, from the designs of Sir Christopher Wren. The large upper room, or Ccenaculum, was wainscoted to the ceiling by the munificence of Dr. Ilamey, with fine Spanish Oak panelling and fluted pilasters, having carved capitals, surmounted by a handsome carved frieze and cornice. So much of this as it was thought desirable to remove from Warwick Lane, now lines the Censors' Room in Pall Mall. To it belong the following Coats of Arms carved in Oak, viz. : — THE ROYAL ARMS. Quartering : (i) France and England, quarterly ; (2) Scotland ; (3) Ireland ; (4) same as (1). Now placed against the Cornice over the fireplace in the Censors' Room. ARMS OF SIR GEORGE ENT, M.D. Impaling the Arms of the College. Now placed above the door leading from the Censors Room to the Library. ARMS OF DR. HAMEY. Originally placed over the entrance to the Ccenaculum, in Warwick Lane, to commemorate the liberality of Dr. Harney. Now opposite the arms of Dr. Ent, in the Censors' Room. The following words are carved under the arms — " Hoc tot um opus intcstinum, bcnevolis sumptibus scnioris nostri College Baldvini Harney Bald. fil. accept um ferimus." CUP. Presented by Dr. John Freind in 1720. A silver-gilt cup, eleven inches high, bearing the following inscription : — " Ob restitution Harvai eonvivium, Collegio medicorum, quibus has epulas Hilares quotannis et felices redire cup it, Poculum hoc donavit Johannes Freind, Ejusdcm Collegii soeius, et Orator Harvuanus, Qctob. xviii., A.D.

Askew (1722-1774), Dr. Wm. Pitcairn (1711-1791), Dr. Matthew Baillie (1761-1823). The arms of these five distinguished owners are engraved on the head or handle. HAMEY'S ANTIMONIAL CUP. Presented in 1824 by Mr. Gundry, who Married Miss Palmer, a Descendant of Dr. Hamey, to whom the Cup originally belonged. These cups were sold in Gunpowder Alley, at the Sign of the Magpie, in 1637, at the cost of fifty shillings each ; and three cases of death are said to have occurred from the vomiting caused by their use. HAMEY'S BELL. Presented by Dr. Baldwin Hamey, Junr. A silver bell used by Dr. Hamey when Registrar, and probably given by him in 1654, when he resigned his office, or about the time of his death in 1676. Within the bell these words have been engraved since his death : — " Mortmis est, tamen hie aiiditiir Hamceus" Hamey is dead, but his voice still rings in our ears. HARVEY'S ANATOMICAL TABLETS. Presented by the Earl of Winchelsea, 1823. In the North Gallery of the Library. Dried anatomical preparations of the blood vessels and nerves of the human body, displayed on six tablets of wood, and contained in five glazed cases, supposed to have been prepared by Harvey himself, and to have been used by him, in his Lumleian Lectures, to illustrate his theory of the circulation of the blood. They were known to have belonged to Harvey, and had been long carefully preserved at Burley-on-the-Hill, the seat of the Earl of Winchelsea, one of the ancestors of whom, the Lord Chancellor Nottingham, married a niece of Harvey. The following inscription, written by Dr. Francis Hawkins, is placed on a marble tablet over them : — " Tabellis hic positis affixi manent vasorum nervorumque rami, manu ipsius Harveii nostri ut omnino credibile est, e corpore humano excisi oculisque accurate subjecti. " Comes Honorabiliss : de Winchelsea et Nottingham Harveiorum sanguine oriundus, Tabellas has Harveianus Collegio Reg. Medicorum Lond. A.S. MDCCCXXIII.

HARVEY'S DEMONSTRATING ROD. A whalebone rod, seventeen inches long, banded and tipped with silver, used by Harvey about 1616, in his Lumleian Lectures when demonstrating the circulation of the blood, 1 1 IRON COFFER. This coffer was brought from the College in Warwick Lane, and is almost certainly the iron chest in which was deposited the money paid by the Honorary Fellows on their admission shortly before the fire in 1666, and which was found opened and robbed of its contents (,£700 and silver plate), during the prevalence of the plague which immediately preceded the fire. JENNER'S COW'S HORN. Presented by Sir William Fisher, 1872. A horn of one of the cows from which Dr. Tenner obtained his vaccine lymph. The following inscription is engraved on its lid or cover ; — " This cow's horn was polished by that great benefactor to the human race, the late Dr. Jenner, and given by him in 181 3 to Sir John W. Fisher, who presented it to the Royal College of Physicians through the President, George Burrows, M.D., F.R.S., January, 1872." JENNER'S SCISSORS. A pair of scissors used by Edward Jenner, bequeathed to the Baillie family by Dr. Baron, and presented to the College by W. Hunter Baillie, Esq., in 1894. KEVS OF THE CHARTOPHYLACIUM. Four keys of the safe or closet in which the Charters, Leases, and other important documents were kept in the College House, Warwick Lane.
