 PREFACE. 
 
 The attenu)t to incorporate the Practitioners of Medicine Eariy attempts at 
 
 ^ *• formation of a Col- 
 
 in Scotland for the purpose of raising the standard both of^''^°- 
 the character and acquirements of Physicians, originated 
 in 1 617. King James I. of Enghmd, to whom an applica- order of james i. 
 tion for that purpose was made, received it favourably, and 
 issued an order to the Parliament for the establishment of a 
 College of Physicians in Edinburgh. This order is still ex- 
 tant. After reciting the evils which the community had suf- 
 fered from the intrusion of irregular practitioners, it directs 
 the Parliament to form a College of Physicians, and to ap- 
 point seven persons to examine those who practise Medi- 
 cine, and to make it illegal for any person to exercise 
 the art and science of Physic within Edinburgh and the 
 neighbourhood, without the Diploma of the College. 
 
 His Majesty also farther suggests that warrant should 
 be given to the College to appoint yearly three of their 
 number to visit the Apothecaries' shops in the burgh, to 
 examine the state of the drugs exposed for sale, and to 
 destroy such as might be found corrupt or insufficient. 
 
 Dissensions, chiefly of a religious kind, had the effect hct fnntrated. 
 of frustrating the wishes of the King in this respect.
 
 iteuewai of attempt. 111 1 6oO tliG attempt was reiiewed, and King Charles I. 
 referred the matter to tlie Privy Council ; but, owing chiefly 
 to the unsettled state of puhlic affairs, nothing more was 
 done in his reign. 
 
 Patent by Cromwell, The matter was warmly taken up by Cromwell during 
 his Protectorate ; and a patent, still extant, was made out 
 in 1656, instituting a College of Physicians of Scotland, 
 " who shall have power and authoritie to oversie, rule, and 
 order, what may concerne the right administratioune of 
 Physike to the people of Scotland in all pairts and places 
 of the said nation, with power to them to censure and 
 punish all persons who shall presume to practise, exercise, 
 or profess Physike, or give Medicines, or ordaine Ph^^sicall 
 Praescriptiones in any pairt or place of Scotland, being 
 not members of the said Colledge, or not being approved 
 and licensed by the said Praesident and Colledge under 
 their Common Seal/' Farther, by this patent of Incorpora- 
 tion it was proposed to give to the said President and Col- 
 lege the power to practise the Art of Surgery : "forasmuch 
 as the Science of Physick doth comprehend, include, and 
 containe in it the knowledge of Chirurgery, being a special 
 part of the same and member thereof" By it, also, the 
 power of examining and licensing Apothecaries, and of 
 visiting their shops, was to be conferred on the proposed 
 College ; and, lastly, they were to be entitled to receive 
 from the magistrates of the several cities and burghs, and 
 the sheriffs of the respective counties, " such dead bodies 
 of malefactors executed as they shall desyre, for making 
 of dissection and anatomie for the use of the Colledge." 
 The extensive powers thus proposed to be conferred
 
 naturallv created jealousies anions the other public Medi- Frustmtea by (ther 
 
 *- *' o i Bledical Bodies aud 
 
 cal bodies, and before the various conferences for the ad- Jeath of cromweii. 
 justment of these differences were ended, the death of the 
 Protector put a stop for a time to the whole matter. 
 
 Eventually, though not without great opposition on the Pr^^'i^ charter, 
 part of the Surgeons, the Universities, the Municipal Cor- 
 poration, and even the Bishops and Archbishops, the 
 present Charter of Incorporation was obtained from Charles 
 IL, and the Great Seal appended on St. Andrew's day, 1 681 . 
 
 This Charter commences by laying down the necessity summary of us cou- 
 
 " ^ '^ teats. 
 
 which exists for ascertaining that those who design to 
 practise any profession should be examined as to their 
 capacity for doing so, and that from the absence of any 
 regulation of this kind regarding Medicine, great confu- 
 sion had arisen, and many very ill qualified exercised the 
 healing art. It then proceeds to institute the College of 
 Physicians as a great and powerful means of correcting 
 these abuses. It ordains that the College shall consist of 
 certain individuals who are named, and of all others 
 cliosen by them as Colleagues and Fellows of their Society, 
 within the city of Edinburgh,* its suburbs and liberties : 
 so that they and their successors should be united and 
 conjoined into one body, community, and College, in all 
 time coming. The Charter further provides for the elec- 
 tion of a Council, President, and other Office-Bearers, and 
 
 * In a legal opinion by the Dean of Faculty (Adam Anderson, Epq.,) 
 subsequently Lord Advocate, and now one of the Senators of the College- 
 of Justice, and John ^Marshall, Esq., now Dean of Faculty, dated Decem- 
 ber 1851, it is stated, — "We are of opinion that the jurisdiction and • 
 privileges of the College hold over the extended royalty of the city of Edin- 
 burgh, and extend as the myaltv extends."
 
 sumina,iy uf con- confers ou tliG Collcge the power to enact Laws for its due

 government and welfare, and to promote the Science and 
 regulate the practice of Medicine within the city of Edin- 
 hurgh and Leith, their suburbs and liberties. 
 
 It prevents, under certain penalties, any one from 
 practising Medicine within its jurisdiction who has not 
 obtained its license or diploma. 
 
 It confers on the College the power, under certain re- 
 gulations, of calling before them and fining unlicensed 
 practitioners, and also of 2)unishing all Physicians, Doctors 
 of Medicine, Licentiates, and Fellows practising within 
 their jurisdiction, who shall violate any of the Laws of 
 the College. 
 
 The College is farther invested by the Charter with 
 power to examine, along with a magistrate and chemist, the 
 medicines kept in the Apothecaries' shops, and to destroy 
 them in the event of their not being found of good quality. 
 
 The Charter also declares that the Magistrates shall 
 not allow an}"^ one to open an Apothecary's shoj) after the 
 date of its ratification, until he has by an examination 
 satisfied the President and Censors that he has a com- 
 petent knowledge of drugs. 
 
 The Charter farther declares, that no Fellow of the 
 College can be cited as a juror on any assize in town or 
 country, nor be called out to watch or ward, or on an}^ 
 pretext whatever be withdrawn from his patients. 
 
 Immediately on receiving the Charter, the College en- 
 tered with great zeal on the discharge of the duties com- 
 "■ mitted to it. 
 I'ui.iicatioii of a The publication of a Phai-macopoeia was undertaken,

 laid in l77o. During the removal of that building, 
 
 which is now numbered with tlie things that were, the

 These interesting relics of an age gone by are now in the 
 possession of the College. 
 
 On the 8th of August 1844, the foundation-stone of the 
 present Hall was laid by the President, Dr. Ronton, in 
 presence of the Fellows of the College and others. As is 
 customary on such occasions, a bottle containing various 
 memorials was deposited in the stone. In this instance 
 there were, 1st, A copy of the last edition of the Edinburgh 
 Pharmacopoeia, containing a list of the Fellows of the 
 College ; 2d, A work regarding the private affairs of the 
 College, printed severtil years ago ; 3d, An Edinburgh 
 Almanac for the current year; 4th, Several British Coins 
 of the day ; and, lastly, a silver plate with a suitable in- 
 scription in Latin relative to the occasion. 
 
 The erection of the Royal Infirmary was mainly due to 
 the exertions of the College. 
 
 The first edition of the Pliarmacopoeia was issued in 
 1699, and since then the publication of successive edi-
 
 XI 
 
 tions lias enabled the College to keep pace with the pro- 
 gress of scientific discovery. 
 
 From the date of its Incorporation in 1 681 , the attention Library, 
 of the College appears to have been steadily directed to 
 the formation of a Library. Sir Robert Sibbald, to whose 
 exertions the College is mainly indebted for its Charter, 
 was a large contributor to the Library. Two years after how commenced. 
 the Incorporation of the College, a Librarian was appointed. 
 The Library was during the earlier years of its existence, 
 enriched by donations from Fellows of the College, eminent 
 Phj'sicians, and individuals of distinction not even con- 
 nected with the medical profession. 
 
 In 1705, the library of the deceased Laird of Living- Progress of Library. 
 stone, was purchased for 800 merks Scots. 
 
 In 1741, a large donation was made by Mr David Drum- 
 mond, advocate, of the books of his late brother. Dr. 
 John Drummond. 
 
 In 1756, a considerable addition to the Library was 
 obtained from Messrs. Hamilton & Balfour, Booksellers, 
 in return for the copyright of the Pharmacopaua, published 
 in that year. 
 
 In 1761, Alexander Gibson, Esq., of Clifton Hall, pre- 
 sented to the College the Library of their late Fellow, Dr. 
 Edward Wright of Vessie, of whose property he was the heir. 
 
 The Transactions of the Academy of Sciences of Paris, 
 in seventy-nine volumes 4to, were bequeathed about the 
 same time by another Fellow, Dr. James Mackenzie. 
 
 In 1766, John Earl of Bute, presented the twenty-six 
 magnificent folios of Hill's Vegetable System.
 
 In 1781, Sir John Pringle presented, under certain con- 
 ditions, ten volumes of MS. Annotations. 
 
 In 1791, tlic College expended £\Q0 in the inirchasc 
 of books at the sale of the collection of the late Dr. Cullen. 
 
 In 1793, the first alphabetical catalogue was printed. 
 
 In 1828, by the bequest of Dr. Duncan, Junior, the 
 College came into possession of a large collection of MS. 
 Notes and Lectures, amounting to 180 volumes, and in- 
 cluding the Lectures of the Founders of the Edinburgh 
 School of Medicine. 
 
 In 18S1, Dr. Adam presented the twelve folio volumes 
 of Montfaucon's Antiqnite Expliquee. 
 
 In 1836, the College, by the bequest of Dr. Moncrieff, 
 acquired his medical books, consisting of 225 volumes. 
 
 In 1845, Dr. Home presented 240 volumes ; and the 
 family of the late Dr. Abercrombie, 80 volumes from his 
 Library. In the same year, Dr. Beilby presented a num- 
 ber of scarce and curious old medical books.

 Museum. The formation of the Museum of Materia Medica may 
 
 be dated from the 4th August 1835, when a Committee 
 
 How commenced, appointed to cousidcr the sale or improvement of the 
 College Hall in George street, reported, — " That it had oc- 
 curred to the Committee that it might be desirable to 
 commence a Museum of Materia Medica, for the reception 
 of which the Hall, or other part of the building, might
 
 xm 
 
 gradually, as required, bo fitted up/' A Comniittee was 
 appointed to take all measures which should appear to 
 them to be proper for commencing such a Museum. 
 
 The Committee accordingly invited the Fellows and 
 others to contribute donations to the Museum, and entered 
 into a correspondence with Lord Glenelg, the Colonial 
 Secretary, and the heads of the Army and Navy Medical 
 Boards, for the ])urposeof procuring through their influence 
 objects of interest for the Museum. 
 
 In the meantime, donations began to be received, and pn-iessof .Museum. 
 the late Dr Davidson had the honour of being the first 
 contributor, presenting the tirst three specimens on the 
 3d November 1835. Dr. Christison's donations, however, 
 were the most numerous and valuable, numbering 29 by 
 April 1837. 
 
 Dr. Stark, on his appointment as Honorary Curator in 
 1839, entered vigorously on the discharge of his duties ; 
 and it was chiefly through his exertions that the follow- 
 ing donations were obtained: — 
 
 In 1839, Dr. Christison put the duplicates he might 
 receive for his own collection at the disposal of the College, 
 and became a contril)utor to the Museum of valuable 
 specimens not otherwise attainable. Mr. Duncan, (of 
 Duncan & Flockhart.) Mr. J. F. j\Iucfarlane, and others, 
 also made numerous donations. The Messrs. Lawson 
 & Son, on a list being furnished to them of such articles 
 as they could easily procure, kindly presented the collec- 
 tion of cereals and others DOW in the Museum; and the 
 Botanical Society of Edinburgh, on being furnished with 
 a ii.st of the me<licinal plants of Great Britain, generously
 
 The Martins Col- 
 lection. 
 
 XIV 
 
 presented select specimens of the wliole, amounting- to 
 838 species, to the Museum of the College. Through 
 the kindness of Professor Graham and Mr. Macnab, Dr 
 Stark also obtained from the Royal Botanical Gardens, 
 specimens of such medicinal plants as flowered or bore 
 fruit there, and from this source several interesting speci- 
 mens were procured, and have been preserved both in the 
 green and the dried states. 
 
 To forward the formation of the Museum, Dr. James 
 AV^ood gave a donation of £10, 10s., and the College from 
 its entertainment fund, gave £25, to be expended in pur- 
 chases of articles of the Materia Medica. These sums were 
 spent in adding to the Museum 301 specimens, which 
 were placed there on or before the 9th November 18-il, 
 
 Very few additions were made to the Museum from 
 the above date till 1847, when the College, having heard 
 that Dr. Theodore Martins of Erlangen, the brother of the 
 celebrated Brazilian traveller, wished to dispose of his 
 splendid and very complete collection of Materia Medica, 
 resolved to become the purchasers thereof After con- 
 siderable correspondence, it was announced to the College, 
 at their meeting on the 3d August 1847, that Dr. Mar- 
 tins' collection was purchased by the College for the sum 
 of £250. Through the influence of Sir William Gibson 
 Craig, M.P., Lord of the Treasury, the whole collection 
 was not only passed free of duty, but allowed to be 
 forwarded at once to the College Hall before being 
 opened. 
 
 No time was lost in getting suitable cases, and show- 
 tables fitted up for the exhibition of this collection, and
 
 XV 
 
 oil the 1st of May 1848, the Martins Collection was 
 arranged, and ready for inspection. 
 
 The Animal Preparations amount in this collection to 160 
 Vegetable do. do., .... 1395 
 Mineral do. do., .... 309 
 
 Total, 1864 
 
 During the years 1848, 1849, and 1850, the Museum 
 has received a valuable addition in the form of a complete 
 series of Cinchona, and allied Barks, presented by John 
 Elliot Howard, Esq. of Tottenham. This series embraces 
 specimens of all the Barks now met with in British com- 
 merce, and also a series of the Lichens growing on the 
 Barks. 
 
 On a rough calculation, the present preparations in the Pi-esentstate of Mu- 
 seum. 
 
 Museum amount to the following numbers : — 
 
 Animal Preparations, .... 166 
 
 Vegetable do., 2163 
 
 Mineral do., 380 
 
 Total, 2709 
 
 A New Edition of the Laws having been called for, 
 it may be of service to the Fellows to have a short sum- 
 mary of the various changes which they have undergone 
 since the first institution of the College in 1681 : — 
 
 The two first meetings of the Hth and 8th December 1681) Fhst Meetings, 7th, 
 
 ^ ,, • 1 . 1 , , 8th, and 9th Decern - 
 
 College were occupied with the election of Office-bearers. Ini- beriosi. 
 
 mediately (9th December 1681) thereafter they proceeded under 
 
 the powers vested in them by the Charter, " to enact Laws for Bye Laws. 
 
 its due government and welfare." It is exceedingly interesting 
 
 to find, that, in addition to fixing the number neco.-^sary to con-
 
 XVI 
 
 stitute a quoruiu, the two Laws then enacted have continued in 
 force to the present time. The one provides that every new- 
 Law shall be considered at two separate meetings of the College 
 before being enacted, and that every proposal to abrogate a Law 
 shall be considered at three several meetings before a decision is 
 come to ; the other, that every proposal before being laid before 
 the College, " shall be represented to the President and Council, 
 who shall take it into consideration, and report the same at the next 
 meeting of the College, with the sense of the Council thereupon." 
 Period of eiectiuii of ^ffi and ISlk Jamuxry 1(')82. — Nearly as early in the history 
 
 Office-Bearevs. ^ . 
 
 of the College, the day for the election of the Office-bearers, and 
 
 the periods at which the quarterly meetings were to be held, 
 
 were fixed, and these, too, have continued unaltered to the present 
 
 time. 
 
 Fiiius. \Qth February 1682. — At these meetings, fines of '■'■ srron," 
 
 (coming one quarter after the hour of meeting,) and " absents" arc 
 
 first mentioned, although, as the time for collecting them only is 
 
 fixed, it seems probable that they had been inflicted previously. 
 
 Promissory Engage- 2\st March 1682. — The draught of the promissory engage- 
 ment. _ . . 
 
 inent to be signed by Members on taking their seat was agreed to. 
 
 Rerisai of Liw-^. 2d November 1684. — A Committee was appointed "to re- 
 
 vise all former acts, and to order the booking of such of them as 
 they shall think fit in the Great Register." 
 
 {Uh January 1685. — The Committee appointed to revise the 
 Laws reported. They first propose regulations for the mini- 
 mum course of study by Licentiates ; next for the trial of Apothe- 
 caries, suggesting that no one should be permitted to officiate as 
 an Apothecary until they have been examined " upon their skill 
 in the Simples, in the Latin tongue, reading of receipts, and what 
 else shall be found needful." 
 Blank in Minutes Froui 22d December 1684 to 2\st March 16.03, a blank occurs in 
 1G84 to ^istMaivh the Minutcsj and during that period, and for some time thereafter, 
 the College would appear to have been chiefly occupied with 
 the discussions between them and the Chirurgeon Apothecaries, 
 and the legal proceedings consequent upon them.
 
 dt/i November 1693. — The Fees to be paid by Fellows and Fees 
 Licentiates are fixed. 
 
 It would appear tbat a custom had prevailed of the whole Election ofPresi- 
 
 /-., , . . dent. 
 
 College electing the President. It was, however, proposed and 
 discussedat twomeetings, and pasj:ed into an Act, (lit/i November 
 1695,) that the seven Councillors chosen by the College, shall 
 elect one of their number to be President, and this notwithstand- 
 ing any custom to the contrary ; and this Law has been in force 
 ever since. 
 
 2Gtk August 1701. — The Fees of admission of Fellows and Fees. 
 Licentiates were again altered. 
 
 I2th January 1704. — A Committee was named to revise the 
 
 Laws. 
 
 %th May 1707. — An Act was passed to render more effectual Act to separate be- 
 tween Physician and 
 the separation between the Physician and Surgeon. It was or- surgeon. 
 
 dained that this act should be signed by all the Fellows. This 
 
 would appear to have been done ; and, subsequently, each Fellow 
 
 at his entrance, would seem to have signed it up to 17^6, when the 
 
 practice was discontinued without any notice of it in the Minutes. 
 
 For some time subsequently to this, various acts were passed 
 regulating the " dues of Entrants and Licentiates," but nothing 
 of particular interest occurs until — 
 
 Glh November 1750. — When an Act was unanimously passed, No Fellow to keep 
 
 ^ Shop. 
 
 prohibiting the admission of any one as a Fellow of the College who 
 is a Memberof the Corporation of Surgeons or Apothecaries, or who 
 keeps a shop for the dispensing of medicine, and declaring that any 
 one doing so after his admission, "shall, ipso facto, forfeit all pri- 
 vileges which he did, or might, enjoy as a Fellow of the College, 
 and his name shall be expunged out of the Roll of Fellows." 
 
 Wth April 1754. — A farther Act to prevent one person from 
 conjoining the profession of medicine and pharmacy, was read a 
 third time and passed unanimously. 
 
 \st November 1763. — An act was read a third time and Candidates to be Li- 
 
 ceutlates for one 
 
 passed, that in all time coming every Doctor of Medicine shall year. 
 remain a Licentiate one whole year before becoming a Fel- 
 
 13
 
 XVIU 
 
 low ; that no Member of the Corporation of Surgeons shall be 
 admitted a Fellow or Licentiate, and that any Licentiate ur 
 Fellow becoming a Member of the said Corporation, shall forfeit 
 his License or Fellowship. 
 No Fellow to keep 1st May 1764. — On the report of a Committee, the College 
 
 an Apothecaiy'3 
 
 Shop. confirmed their former Act {\\th April 17.'54) in regard to Fellows 
 
 keeping Apothecaries' shops, and extended it to all residing in 
 Great Britain and Ireland, declaring that any Fellow of the 
 College practising Pharmacy within the three kingdoms, shall, 
 ipso facto, forfeit his right of Fellowship, and his name shall be 
 struck out of the Roll of Fellows. 
 
 No Fellow to prac- 17^/^ Mail MQH. — An Act was passed declaring that for the 
 
 Use Surgery or Jlid- ^ i o 
 
 wifery. future no person should be admitted to be one of the Fellows, 
 
 " whose common business it is either to practise Surgery in 
 general, or Midwifery, Lithotomy, Inoculation, or any other 
 branch of it in particular ; and further, that if any Member of the 
 College shall, after his being received a Fellow, practise any of 
 these lower acts in the manner above-mentioned, and shall thereof 
 be lawfully convicted, he shall be degraded from the honour con- 
 ferred upon him when he was admitted a Fellow, and his name 
 shall be struck out of the Roll." 
 
 lih February 17G9. — After full consideration by a Committee, 
 and repeated discussion in the College, an Act was passed pro- 
 viding that no Fellow or Licentiate of the College shall exercise 
 the business or profession of Midwifery, Lithotomy, or any of 
 the other manual operations of Surgery ; and providing, that

 that all Fellows doing so, and against whom it shall be fully 
 proved, shall forfeit their Fellowship, and their name shall be

 Qth May 1788. — The College repealed the Resolution of \th Repeal of Act 
 
 against Fellows 
 
 August 1772, " in so far as it prohibits the Fellows of the Col- P'^ctising Mid- 
 lege from the practice of Midwifery." 
 
 Hitherto the Laws and Regulations of the College are to be 
 gathered only from the Minute-Books. It is apparent, however, 
 that a growing desire began to be felt that these Laws should bo 
 digested into one body or code, and printed. In this matter the 
 College appear to have acted with becoming caution and consi- 
 deration, for on the 
 
 2d November 17 Si, a Committee was appointed for the pur Abstract of Laws to 
 
 be prepared. 
 
 pose of preparing an Abstract of the Laws, from 7ih December 
 1681 to 3f/ August 1784. This Committee reported on the 2d 
 May 1786, when the matter was re-committed to them to be fur- 
 ther considered and completed.
 
 XX 
 
 First edition of 
 Laws. 
 
 Ist August and 1th November 1780. — From statements made 
 at these meetings, it would appear that the Committee were not 
 yet prepared finally to report. 
 
 Qth February 1787. — The Report of the Committee was laid 
 on the table, ordered to be printed, and circulated among the 
 Fellows. 
 
 1st Mai/ 1787. — A motion approving of the Report was read 
 a first time and a second time. 
 
 Qth November 1787. — Some delay was now interposed, until 
 the question of the repeal of the law preventing Fellows from 
 practising Midwifery was settled. This Law having been re- 
 pealed on the !jth August 1788, the College, at the first quarterly 
 meeting thereafter, (4^/* November 1788,) unanimously approved 
 of the Laws as proposed, " sanctioned and established the same, 
 and resolved that the Laws should be printed as amended." Thus 
 the first Code of Laws was arranged and printed in the year 1789. 
 Copies of this little volume are still extant. 
 
 Soon after improvements were introduced, and, accordingly, 
 on the 
 
 2d February 1790, it was enacted — 
 
 First, That when two or more Licentiates were elected Fellows 
 at the same meeting, they should be marked on the Roll ac- 
 cording to the date of their admission ; and if they are of the 
 same date as Licentiates, they shall be enrolled according to the 
 date of their Diplomas ; and if their Diplomas are of the same 
 date, they shall be enrolled according to their age. 
 HspenRionofaLaw. Second. — That any Law of the College may be suspended for 
 a limited time, provided said suspension is agreed to by two- 
 thirds of the Members present, and that due intimation of the pro- 
 posal is made in the billets by which the Members are summoned. 
 
 3d August 1790. — To secure the strict enforcement of the 
 payment of fines, it was ordered that absentees at the last 
 meeting should be called on to pay their fines inmiediately 
 after the roll-call, and Fellows who are late, to pay the fines as 
 they come in.

 Qtk Aiu/ust 1793. — The Entrance-Fee of Resident Fellows, Entrance Feo. 
 was fixed at £ I 00 nett. 
 
 Id February 1796.— A proposal was made to repeal the Act D^scu«^io.v»^m ic- 
 dated Wlh April 1754, in so far that every Fellow and Licen- keeping Jiediduo. 
 tiate of the College may have it in his power to supply his own 
 patients with medicines, or the patients of those with whom he 
 may be conjoined in practice. 
 
 This motion was read a second time 3d Mai/ 1796, and a third 
 time 2d August 179G, when the discussion was adjourned to be 
 resumed \st November 1796, and again adjourned. 
 
 The proceedings connected with this gave rise to a most pain- 
 ful personal dissension between some of the most eminent Fellows, 
 the discussions on which appear to have occupied much of the 
 minutes at that time. All these minutes were, however, erased 
 by an order of the College dated Uh May 1 830. Enough, how- 
 ever, is still to be found in the volumes printed on the subject. 
 Dr. James Gregory's Censorial Letter ; Dr. Andrew Duncan's 
 opinion on a charge against Dr. James Gregory, 4to, Ed. 1808 ;

 Narrative of the conduct of Dr. James Gregory, published by 
 authority of the Royal College of Physicians, 4to, Edin. 1809. 
 
 On the Uh Auqust 1795, another attempt to enforce the rigid Contribution from 
 
 •^ Fellows. 
 
 collection of the fines is made, and the reason of this becomes ap- 
 parent on Id May 1797, when the contributions and tines not being 
 suflBcient to defray the expenses of the entertainments, the College 
 resolved that in future, £5 be paid by each Fellow towards them. 
 
 7th February 1804:. — A Committee was appointed to revise the Revision of bans 
 Laws with a view to a new edition being issued. This Com- 
 mittee report progress, 1st May 1804 ; and lay a copy of their 
 Report before the College 7tk Auffust 1804. 
 
 The Report was considered in November, and again in Feb- 
 ruary, when, in consequence of much diflerence of opinion, it 
 was {5th February 1805) re-committed. The amended Report 
 having been brought up, {Ith May 1805,) the first reading en- 
 gaged the attention of the College at no fewer than four meetings,
 
 Fellows keeping

 the practice of Surgery, was totally repealed, and that part

 partner, or servants, keep a public Apothecary's, Druggist's, or 
 Chemist's shop, he shall, ipso facto, forfeit all the rights and 
 privileges which he does, or may, enjoy as a Fellow or Licentiate 
 of the said College, and his name shall be expunged from the 
 List." 
 
 2d August \S24!. — The Committee appointed, Qlh iV/«yl823,

 College, proposing that for the future Candidates for License <=«"'=®^- 
 and Fellowship should not be required to possess medical degrees, 
 but that provision should be otherwise made for ascertaining 
 their qualifications. This subject occupied much of the time of 
 the College, and gave rise to much discussion at many subsequent 
 meetings. At the succeeding meeting — 
 
 7M November 1837. — A Committee was appointed to con- 
 sider and report upon it. 
 
 Qth February 1838. — The Report of this Committee was Legal opink-n.
