The following memoir first appeared in the August number of the Dublin Quarterly Journal of Medical Science for the present year.

Proposed by Dr. Stokes ; Seconded by Sir D. J. Corrigan, Bart. ; and “ Resolved — That Dr. Belcher’s proposal be accepted with thanks, and that Dr. Belcher be requested to superintend the publication of 500 copies of the Memoir, appending such illustrations as he may deem necessary.” This reprint has been revised and corrected, and considerably added to, in the shape of notes ; so that it may be looked on as a new or second edition, which indeed it is. I am indebted to Sir Bernard Burke, LL.D., and Professor Aquilla Smith, M.D., for their valuable corrections of the text and notes ; and I trust the entire will prove of use to the medical historian, and in some degree maintain the prestige of the Profession of Physic. 25, Hatch- street, Dublin, 1st Sept., 1866.

W B. MEMOIR OF SIR PATRICK DUN (Knt.) M.D.; M.P.; PHYSICIAN-GENERAL TO THE ARMY ; AND SOMETIME PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS, INTRODUCTION. During the last year I published a memoir of Dr. Stearne, Founder and First President of the Irish College of Physicians ; a this was so favourably received by the learned body to which I have the honour to belong, that, at their request, it was re-printed, in a separate form, from the Dublin Quarterly Journal of Medical Science ; b and was considered by some friends, in whose judgment I place confidence, to give a fair idea of the state of the profession of physic in Ireland during the latter half of the seventeenth century, as well as a history of the ancient relation of the College of Physicians to its Alma Mater, Trinity College, Dublin. The present memoir will, in effect, continue the history of the College of Physicians from the death of Dr. Stearne, in 1669, to our own day; and thus, beside placing on record all that I have been able to collect about a remarkable man whose name is familiar to us in connexion with his medical bequests, it will, I trust, in some degree serve the important interests of medical education in Ireland. Beyond a short sketch of Dun, which appeared in the Dublin Quarterly Journal , in 1846, from the pen, I believe, of Mr. (now Sir William) Wilde, and a prior notice of him which the late Professor Osborne published in his Annals of Sir Patrick DurCs Hospital , in 1844, nothing has been hitherto done, so far as I have ascertained, to obtain and publish full and accurate information about one whose memory well deserves to be cherished with respect by the citizens of Dublin, and by the medical profession in Ireland. a Memoir of John Stearne, M. & J.U.D., S.F.T.C.D., Founder and First President of the College of Physicians ; including the original Charter of that College, and other records concerning the Profession of Physic in Ireland, never before published ; with a review of his writings. Dublin, 8vo., 1865. b For May, 1865. 14 Memoir of Sir Patrick Dun. In the following memoir I have inserted all the material proper to such a work, which I could obtain after diligent and long-continued search. In it will be found several original and important public documents not hitherto printed, as well as private letters of Sir Patrick and Lady Dun, and other interesting matters. AUTHORITIES. I may briefly note the chief authorities used or quoted in this memoir : — Mr. Wilde’s Memoir , already refer ed to; Professor Osborne’s Annals , fyc. ; Dr. A. Smith’s Early History of the College of Physicians in Ireland ( [Dub . Jour. Med. Sci ., vol. xix.) ; Mr. Wilde’s Contributions to the History of Medicine in Ireland , Dublin, 1846; Various Statutes of Parliament ; Journals of the Irish Houses of Parliament ; Dr. W. D. Moore’s History of Pharmacy in Ireland {Dub. Quart. Jour., Aug., 1848) ; Journals, and other books and papers of the K. and Q. Coll, of Physicians, and pamphlets in the Library there ; MS. petitions and minutes of com- mittees among the Parliamentary papers in the Record Office, Dublin Castle; Barrett’s MS., described in my memoir of Stearne, and kindly lent to me for this purpose by the Rev. Dr. Todd, S.F.T.C.D., who also gave me important assistance, as did Professor Aquilla Smith, and John Ribton Garstin, Esq., M.A. Beside all these, I have particularly to acknowledge the kindness of Sir Bernard Burke, Ulster King of Arms, who not only allowed me to read the records of Civil Affairs in the minutes of the Irish Privy Council, and other documents kept in the Record Office ; but who, himself, in various ways facilitated my work, and gave me much original information. I have further to thank Dr. Lyons, one of the present Censors of the College of Physicians, who kindly placed at my disposal a collection of original MS. letters addressed to Archbishop King, which had come into his possession ; some of these, written by Sir Patrick and Lady Dun, appear in this memoir. Further, I must thank Dr. Dyce, of Aberdeen, for the loan of a privately-printed memoir hereafter quoted, and for several letters and papers of value, which appear or are referred to by me ; some of these he obtained from gentlemen to whom I also give my best thanks, viz.: — The Rev. William Barrack, Rector of the High School, Aberdeen ; the Rev. Archdeacon Bisset, of Lissendrum, a collateral descendant of Dun ; and John Stuart, Esq., Keeper of the Records in the General Register House, Edinburgh. THE FAMILY NAME. With reference to the spelling of the name I may observe that every possible variety seems to have prevailed. In the following pages it will appear spelled as Dune, Dwne, Dun, Dunn ; in fact there seemed to be no authorized spelling of the family-name ; and it must be remembered 15 Memoir of Sir Patrick Dun. that at that time (1642-1713) men altered all these things at pleasure, and with a frequency which we know nothing about now. In the Dublin University Calendar , for the present year, the editor kindly added a note of mine, under the head of 44 School of Physic,” to show that Sir Patrick never spelled his name in any other way than as 44 Dun.” He signed himself at various times as 44 Dun,” 44 P. Dun,” 44 Pa. Dun,” and “Pat Dun but in no instance did he sign his surname as 44 Dunn.” dun’s birth and family history. The subject of the present memoir was born in Aberdeen, in January, 1642. His father, Charles Dun, litser (or dyer), was a burgess of Aberdeen, and Patrick was his second son by his second wife, Katherine Burnet. This branch of the family of Dun had been then long settled in Aberdeen, and belonged to the ancient stock of Dun of Dun, or of that Ilk, near Montrose. a Charles Dun was one of the nephews of Dr. Patrick Dun, Principal of Marischal College, and the munificent endower of Aberdeen Grammar School, where his name is to this day held in great respect; and where his portrait (by Jamieson), presented by his representative, Archdeacon Bisset, may be seen. b In a letter from the Rev. William Barrack, Rector of the school in question, to Dr. Dyce, of Aberdeen, dated 3rd February, 1866, the following passage occurs : — 44 There were certain Registers kept in the Town House which might have thrown some light on the subject, but these have all been removed to the Register House, Edinburgh ; but I have no doubt Sir Patrick’s name will be found in the Register, and the exact date of his birth will thus be ascertained. Dr. Patrick Dun, who bequeathed the lands of Ferryhill to the Grammar School, must have been his grand-uncle, for in the bequest he says, 4 After my decease I nominate, constitute, appoynte, and ordayne the Provest, Baillies, and Councell of the said burgh of Aberdeen, for the time, with Maister Robert, Charles, and Patrick Dunnes, my brother sonnes, and their aires male of perfyte aige, they being known to be honest and conscientious, and not given to railing, to be Patrons and Conservators, in perpetuum , of this my mortification.’ The will is dated 1631, August 3, so that Sir Patrick, born in 1642, must be a son of one of these three, the nephews mentioned above, and, therefore, grand-nephew of Dr. Patrick Dune, as he spells his name in the will. There are no records in the Grammar School, and none in Marischal College ; but there is no doubt Sir Patrick first a “ Of which family was the famous Duns Scotus.” — Nfsbet’s Heraldry, 1722. b Charles Dun (Sir Patrick’s father), died in 1667. — Osborne’s Annals of Sir P. Dun’s Hospital.

Dr. Liddel studied at Heidelberg and Rostock, and was Professor at the Julian University, Helmstadt, where Dr. Patrick Dun studied.” Mr. Barrack then proceeds to say that the Duns of Tarty, the family locality of Dr. Patrick Dun, the grand-uncle of the subject of this memoir, have ceased to exist. The records to which Mr. Barrack refers were examined, as appears by the following letter from Mr. Stuart, Keeper of the Records, General Register House, Edinburgh, to Dr. Dyce : — “ General Register House, “ Edinburgh, 8th Feb ., 1866. “ Dear Sir, — The Registers to which you refer are not in my charge, but my friend Mr. Patton, in whose department they are placed, has examined them for sixteen years, and the result is the enclosed extracts. “ I trust that they may be useful. I have looked into our Spalding Club books, but see no notices of Dun. In the Poll Book of 1696, in the parish of Logie, Buchan, I see the family of Tarty are enumerated, but I do not know their relationship to your man. “ I am, very truly yours, “John Stuart. “You will see that Dr. Patrick Dun was one of Patrick Dun’s godfathers. “ J. S.” The following is a copy of the extracts enclosed by Mr. Stuart ; they are interesting as showing the way in which such matters were recorded in Scotland at that time, particularly as regards the spelling. It will also be noted that the Dun family belonged to the then Established Church of Scotland — the Episcopal. “Anno 1638 yeares.

Several interesting particulars respecting the family of Dun and their descendants, are recorded in a valuable privately printed book, of which Dr. Dyce, of Aberdeen, kindly gave me the perusal. b In note G., page xii. will be found notices of the family of Anderson, of Bourtie, and of the family of Boss, of Arnage ; and in note U., page xlii, some curious information is given respecting Principal Dun, and the family of Johnston — all closely connected with Sir Patrick. In this book, among other curious matters, it is stated that Christian Mitchell, widow of Charles Dun, litser in Aberdeen (who had died in April, 1581), was burned in that city on the 9th March, 1597, “on various charges brought against her of sorcery and witchcraft — the most of which were, that by administering drinks Christian Mitchell had caused the death of her own son, 4 Andro Dwn/ and her ( awin dochter in law — vmquhill Maray Johnstoun.’ ” It is not the least singular cir- cumstance connected with that affair, that the unhappy woman confessed the truth of the accusation brought against her before the magistrates of Aberdeen, “ as ane commoun witche and sorcerar, be oppin voce and commoun fame, sua reput and hauldin thir xxviii yeris bygane, be vsing of witchecraft and sorcerie, be the inspiratioun of the Devill.” — “ In signe quhairof, the Devil! gaf the a nip on the bak of thy richt hand, for a mark that thow was ane of his numer.” The writer then proceeds to state, that about the close of the sixteenth century the citizens of Aber- deen were possessed with a mania on the subject of witchcraft, and he refers to Yol. I. of the Miscellany of the Spalding Club (1841) for infor- mation respecting that epidemic; at the same time remarking that at pages 164, 165 of the volume in question will be found a copy of “ the particular dittay and accusation, confessit be Christen Michell, relict of a The subject of this Memoir. b A short Memoir of James Young, Merchant Burgess of Aberdeen, and Rachel Cruikshank, his Spouse, and of their Descendants.

HIS PROFESSIONAL CAREER, AND CONNEXION WITH THE COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS. I have searched in vain for any particulars of Sir Patrick’s early career ; and the first notice of him, so far as I know, occurs in a letter written from Dublin Castle by Sir John Hill, to John Forbes, then of Culloden, near Inverness, father of Duncan Forbes, who, by his wife Mary Innes, daughter of the Laird of Innes, in Morayshire, was, in his turn, father of the celebrated Duncan Forbes, Lord President of the Court of Session. Hill writes 3 - (as quoted in the Culloden Papers , pub- lished at London in 1865, page 10), under date 14tli February, 1676 : — “ Here is one Dr. Dun, an Aberdeensman, who is Physitian to the State, and to my Lord Lieut., desires to have his service remembered to your son, Duncan, with whom he had acquaintance in Paris.” From this letter it is plain that Dun was at one time abroad ; and it is also highly probable that, as suggested by Mr. Barrack, he studied medicine there. At any rate he made a good position for himself in a short time, for at the date of Sir John Hill’s letter he was only thirty-four years of age, and then he had, in all probability, made his fortune. As a practitioner in Dublin he appears to have been highly esteemed ; and his personal and social qualities must have been thought much of, for the next notice which I can find of him refers to his election to the Fellowship of the College of Physicians, the number of the Fellows being then limited to fourteen. b He was probably chosen a Fellow in 1676-7, that is, between January 1st and March 25th, 1677 — new style. In D’Olin’s book, referred to in my Memoir of Dr. Stearne (p, 16 note), among the entries of Dr. Willoughby, 0 who was Treasurer from 24th October, 1677, to 18th June, 1680, is this statement : — “ De Doctore Dun pro admissione sua, £10. 00s.

Willughby,” as he signed himself in some letters of his which I have seen, was one of the Fellows of the College of Physicians, nominated in the Charter of 1667, and also in the charter of 1692. Dr. Willoughby was son of Sir Francis Willoughby, Knt., of Dublin (born at Beauchamp, Co. Warwick), by Mary, his wife, daughter of Sir Francis Slingsby, of Red House, Co. York. He was a physician of note in Dublin, and died in 1694. He left his library to T.C.D. Memoir of Sir Patrick Dun. 19 This is without date, a but it precedes an entry which is dated Feast of St. Michael, 1678. On the 24th of June, 1681, he was for the first time chosen President of the College of Physicians, probably on the death of his predecessor, Dr. Robert Waller; and he seems to have been annually elected to this office up to St. Luke’s Day, 1687, when Dr. John Crosby was elected President. I shall shortly refer to the circumstances connected with Dr. Crosby’s election — but, meanwhile, I may add that Dun appears to have again filled the highest office in his College in 1690, 1691, and 1692. On the 15th of December in this last year he was nominated the first President under the new College Charter of William and Mary ; and he also was chosen President in the years 1693, 1696, 1698, and 1706. b So far as I have been able to ascertain, Sir Patrick Dun’s contributions to medical literature were very few — the title of one, only, has come down to us, viz., a paper “ On the Analysis of Mineral Waters,” read before the Dublin Philosophical Society, of which he was one of the founders in 1 683. c He was, however considerably in advance of his age in regard to practical anatomy ; for it is stated that “ the first record of a public dissection in this city, is that made by Mr. Patterson in 1684, of the body of a malefactor procured for that purpose by Sir Patrick Dun.” d Of the original members of the Dublin Philosophical Society, Mr. (now Sir Wm.) Wilde, wrote : — ■“ These men formed the stellce majores of Irish literature and science at this period, and nearly every one of those of whom we have any subsequent account attained to considerable eminence either here or in England.” The very fact of Dun having been associated with Archbishop Nar- cissus Marsh, Provost Huntingdon, Sir Richard Bulkeley, Archbishop King, Bishop Ashe, Judge Loftus, Archbishop Palliser, Bishop Smith, and Sir Thomas Molyneux, says much for his ability and energy of character, and gives, in a great measure, the key to his early and long- continued success in life. As noted with reference to another eminent a The date of payment of fees is no fair index to the date of admission to Fellowship at this time, as in some cases the fees were paid when the person was made a candi- date, and in others not until long after admission to Fellowship. The amount was often paid in two instalments, and sometimes a bond was accepted for the debt. b Register of the King and Queen’s College of Physicians in Ireland, &c., 1866. Pp. 101, 102.

They read much and wrote little, and what they did write was mostly on general literature, or, as was frequently the case with physicians at that period, on theology or ethics. If we consider the widely-spread prejudice which existed with regard to the practical study of anatomy in Dun’s time, we shall be able, to some extent, to appreciate his public advocacy of anatomical science, and his known practice of it himself. His views on this subject will more largely appear on perusing his intentions as to the ultimate disposal of his property ; but, mean- while, it may be well to say that, in Trinity Hall, b the College of Physicians of Dun’s earlier years, anatomy, though pursued under difficulties which would damp the ardour of many a student in our day, was studied, and paid for, too. In fact, the practical anatomy of Trinity Hall seems to have, to some extent, served the purposes of our modern Dublin Patho- logical Society. Among the archives of the College of Physicians is a small book, bound in vellum, marked on the cover, “ No. 7. Some old accounts,” and inside, “ An Account Booke of Receipts and Disbursements for the Colledge of Physitians, beginning Jan. 21, 1672.” This record is evidently in the handwriting of Dr. Crosby, whose name has been already mentioned, and among the entries are the following : — “It. to ye Joyner for ye dissecting table, the 15th of March, 1676, . . . . .6s. Od. “ It. to ye Cutler for cleaning ye instrumts. belonging to ye College, . . . . .5s. 5d. “ It. to ye Carpenter for altering ye window shutts, . 2s.

I assume that previous to his election to a Fellowship, he was a Candidate, i.e., one* chosen to fill a See my Memoir of Dr. Stearne, p. 38. b For the history of Trinity Hall see my Memoir of Dr. Stearne, pp. 16, 21, 27. c Trinity Hall was close to St. Andrew’s Church. 21 Memoir of Sir Patrick Dun. a vacancy in the Society when such should occur ; but he must have been not only a Fellow but a leading man in the College on the 4th of April, 1677, for under that date the Treasurer entered in the book from which I have just quoted : — “ It. : Payd. Mr. Boldey, of ye Castletauern, for a treate giuen Dr. Dunn vpon his address to ye College of Physitians agt. Lewis the Summ of 10s. 6d.” There is no direct evidence of Dun having taken any degree in the University of Dublin. I have searched the Rev. Dr. Todd’s MS., “ Graduati Dublinienses,” from 1660 to 1712, but Dun’s name is not to be found in the list. This, however, does not prove that he did not graduate there, as Dr. Todd’s MS. list does not profess to be strictly correct, so far as including in it every actual graduate. As I have elsewhere remarked, it was customary at this time to go abroad for medical education and graduation, which was then a much easier process than such is now ; because, at that time, Latin was the common language of learning of all kinds ; and lectures could be understood and books read by an Englishman just as well at Utrecht as at Oxford. From Munk’s Roll of the London College of Physicians, it appears that it was the almost invariable rule for those admitted to the Fellowship in that body, about this period, to have received their chief medical educa- tion abroad ; and, on their return home, to have been incorporated, or admitted ad eundem , into one of our universities. As the Dublin College was founded on the London model, it is fair to suppose that the London example in this respect was followed here also ; and, indeed, from Dr. Todd’s list of graduates, it appears that this was actually the case in several instances, so that it may be presumed that Dun was, in like fashion, admitted ad eundem , or incorporated, at Dublin ; and this sup- position derives additional probability from the fact, that in his portrait, by Sir Godfrey Kneller, which is now in the college here, and to which further reference shall be made, he is depicted in the robes of a Doctor in Physic of the Dublin University ; and from another picture of an M.D. of the Caroline period, to be seen in the Provost’s house, it is plain that our medical custom and that in Dun’s a time are identical. Since the preceding remarks were written, I have ascertained that he was a Dublin graduate, and also a graduate of Oxford. In the Catalogue of Oxford graduates, 8vo., 1772, is this entry: “Dunn (Patrick) D.M. Incorp : from Dublin, Mar. 23 [16] 77.” From the earlier minutes of the College of Physicians it is apparent that Dun was a leading man in its concerns from the outset of his a See Register of the College of Physicians for 1866, p. 26. 22 Memoir of Sir Patrick Dun . connexion with it. On all occasions of importance he was one of the few selected to represent the college before other public bodies, or in communication with the Government. Among other offices which he tilled may be noted that of Censor, to which he was elected on five separate occasions subsequent to the issue of the present Charter of 1692: in 1694, 1695, 1697, 1699, and 1707. Mention has been already made of Dun’s friendship with certain remarkable personages in Church and State. Among these Archbishop King, a as he afterwards became, seems to have been his chief favourite. Dun was King’s medical adviser; and, as will afterwards appear, the Archbishop was one of those to whom Dun entrusted the guardianship of his affairs by will. From the following letter may be seen Dun’s plan of giving advice and gossip at the same time : — “ Reverend Sir, — I received yours of the 19 and 26, I am of Sr. Thomas Millington’s b opinion that it is proper for you to drinke the waters, but cannot conceive why you may not drinke the bath also you have both time and season for both, when you see Sr. Thomas againe present my service to him, present my humble service to Sr. John and his Lady, she is certainly very good and mercifull if she can enduere to see any of you for your leaving her in Chester exposed to all the misfortuns that maye befall a traveller, when you see Sr. Robert Hamiltone tell him I receaved his letter, And that the committe have reported a Physitian necessary and that my Ld.

The correspondence with King was of a very friendly kind, as may be seen from the tenor of the preceding letter. In the following year (1684) part of Dublin Castle was burnt. Dun was in court secrets at this time, having been Physician to the Lord Lieutenant, at any rate, since 1676, as appears by Sir John Hill’s letter; and it is plain that he was looked on and acted as Physician to the State in 1676, although the office of State Physician did not regularly exist until 1725. a At any rate Dun was duly informed of everything that occurred about the Irish Court; and, as King was also of a gossiping turn, his medical friend kept him up in the latest news of things going on at home. The following letter is curious in a historical as well as in an antiquarian point of view : — u Reverend Sir, — I have heard my selfe some false circumstances about the burning of the Castle in Dublin, therefore I give you the following accont thereof : the fire began in my Lord Deputys dressing room, in the new buildings built by the E. of Essex, the Crakling noise and smoake of it weakened my Lord Deputy b out of his sleep, he gott up and was goeing out his usuall waye out of his bed chamber by his dressing room, this dressing room is in the east end of those buildings a back room betwixt the bed chamber and the castle wall, upon opning the dore of that dressing room, so much smoake and heate struk my Lord in the face that it almost took his breath from him, whereupon my Lord retreated in his shirt toward the other door out of his bedchamber and called out fire fire, sent to save his daughter and sent for powder to blow up his closet and long gallerie, to hinder the fire from goeing toward the northeast tower which looketh into Cork house Exchange and is full of powder, before this was done all those new buildings were burnt and my Ladys drawing room in which she receaved the Ladys, was in fire, to stop the progress of the fire towards the dining room, my Lord Deputy ordered the presente to be blown up, Mr. Robinson was not in town, my Lord and Mr. Cuf were the ingeniers, which was done and stopt the fire from fireing the dining room there was burnt and blown up, the new Coll.

He died 5th January, 170 setat 75. He was one of the Original Members of the Royal Society ; and was Physician to William and Mary, and Anne. — See Munk’s Roll, R. Coll. Phys., Lond. a Dr. Osborne in his u Annals” supr. cit ., says that Dun was State Physician ; but Dr. A.

The following letter has not any address on it ; but it was probably intended for King. The next, dated 3 Aug., 1686, very fairly illustrates the medical practice of Dun; and also shows how he got into and retained the good graces of influential friends. The “Mr. King” mentioned in this, and in the third letter, dated 28 April, 1688, was the future Archbishop’s brother, Mr. Robert King, of Skinner-row. “ Reverend Sir, — This is only to introduce the bearer hereof Mr. Sample to your acquaintance and because he is a stranger, to beg of you the favor ; to be assisting to him in providing a lodging for a gentlewoman whom I have advised to drinke the waters, Captaine Morrice told me this morning that he had secured a lodging for his Lady I suppose it may be in the same house where you are if ther can be no other lodging got, att lest endeavor that this gentlewoman maye have Madam Morrice lodging till she come, by his discourse with me, I suppose she will try the new found well att Chapel Izod.

His friend King was now a Doctor in Divinity, and Dun appears to have written to him an account of everything that occurred, judging from the following letters i — “ Reverend Sir, — I gott to the Camp on Munday night late and could not find Sr. Robert Suthell, b on teusday morning early we were com- manded away with the army designed for Waterford, it was surrendred yesterday, the King went thither, but the Irish were not marched out, the King did not goe into the toun, he rid about part of the walls and marched away to Major Gen.

Having succeeded in his profession, and feeling ambitious of public honours, Dr. Dun decided on entering Parliament ; . and, accordingly, he became a member of the Irish House of Commons in 1692. On the 27th of September in that year he was returned member for the Manor of Mullingar ; and on the 29th of the same month he was also returned for the borough of Killileagh, a Co. Down. He elected to sit for the latter. 5 On the 23rd August, 1695, he was a second time returned for Mullingar, for which town he was for the third time returned on the 1st September, 1703. c a The Borough of Killileagh was very much under the influence of Dun’s friends, the Hamiltons. — See his letter to King, dated 28 April, 1688, p. 26. b Journals of the Irish House of Commons, 10th October, 1692 (Vol. ii., p. 11). c The following references are to his name in the Irish Commons J ournals : — Doctor Dunn.

He does not appear to have done much in the House, for the only entry which I can find respecting him, in his legislative capacity, is that on the 1st June, 1709, he was chairman of the committee which was appointed to report on the petition of John Hunt, who sought for a reward for his discovery of a method of refining foul and muddy malt drink. a The fact of his double return as M.P. says much for his popularity ; and it may be remarked that at this time it was not rare for medical men to sit in Parlia- ment, for, in the Parliament of 1695, beside Dun’s name, I find those of two others, namely, Christopher Irvine, b M.D., who sat for the County Ferma- nagh, and Thomas Molyneux, c M.D., who sat for the borough of Ratoath, County Meath. There is another entry respecting Dun among the Irish Parliamentary Petitions. From this it appears that Arthur, Earl of Granard, owed Dun money, for which he paid ten per cent, interest ; and respecting the debt, the latter petitioned the House of Commons, on the 24th of July, 1707, to have a charge put on Lord Granard’s estate. The Earl presented a petition to a like effect on the same day. HIS CONNEXION WITH THE COLL. OF PHYS. CONTINUED. THE CHARTER OF 1692. Dr. Stearne, the first President of the College of Physicians, died on the 18th November, 1669, and his place does not appear to have been soon filled up. On the 27th January, 167^, Dr. Margetson d and Dr. Howard, on the part of the Physicians, notified to the Provost of T.C.D. that the Presidentship was vacant ; and in accordance with the terms of the Physicians Charter (that of Charles II.), the Board of T.C.D. proceeded to elect, and appointed Sir Abraham Yarner, Knt., M.D., to the vacant office. e Sir Abraham Yarner was probably re-elected in 1672 and 1673. In a App. to Journals, p. cciii. b Dr. Christopher Irvine was of Castle Irvine, Co. Fermanagh : his father, also named Christopher, was Physician- General to the States of Scotland, and his brother, James, Surgeon-General. Dr. Christopher Irvine was, himself, a very learned man ; and held the appointment of physician to King Charles II. From his uncle, William Irvine, descends the present Henry Mervyn-D’Arcy Irvine, Esq., of Castle Irvine. c Afterwards Sir T. Molyneux, Bart, (a younger brother to the celebrated philoso- pher, William) ; born in Dublin ; educated at T. C. D., at Leyden, and at Paris ; M.D. Dubl. 1687 ; afterwards Regs. Prof, of Phys ; Phys. to the State, and Phys.- Gen. to the Army ; F.R.S. He was one of the Fellows of the Col. of Phys. nominated in the Charter of 1692 ; in 1798 he resigned his Fellowship, and was chosen Hon. Fell. ; he was created a Baronet in 1730, and died 19th Oct, 1733. In “ Harris’s Ware,” (which see for his life and writings'), it is stated that he u practised in his faculty with great reputation till his death.” d Thomas Margetson, one of the Fellows nominated in the Charter of 1667. For an account of him see “Munk’s Roll of R. Coll. Phys.” London, Vol. i., p. 261. e Barrett’s MS., p. 71 — the form of the instrument in this case is given by Dr. Barrett. See, also, Register of Coll. Phys., 1866, p. 101. Sir Abraham Yarner, M.D., died 28th July, 1677, and was buried the next day in St. Michan’s Church, Oxman- 31 Memoir of Sir Patrick Dun . 1674 he was succeeded by Dr. Ralph Howard.® The chair was filled in 1675 and 1676 by Dr. Charles Willoughby; in 1677, 78, 79, and 80, by Dr. Robert Waller ; b and on the 24th June, 1680, Dr. Patrick Dun was first chosen President, as already noted, and he was probably re-elected annually up to 1687, when a controversy took place between the College of Physicians and the Provost and Senior Fellows of T.C.D. This con- troversy affected the independence of the former body, and it doubtless led to the subsequent successful application for the new Charter, which, by Dun’s influence, was granted by William and Mary. In Barrett’s MSS. (p. 71) this affair is thus quaintly described : — “ Oct. 26, 1687. Dr, Connor and Dr. Dunn came to the College to signify that the College of Physicians had chosen Dr. Crosby for their President, and did desire the Provost and Senr. Fellows to confirm their election. The answer that' was given to them was to this purpose : that upon restoring Trinity Hall to Trin. Coll, in the [year] 1680, there were articles drawn up and agreed upon between Trin. Coll, and the College of Physicians, and that both Colleges did enter into bonds of £300 each to the other for the performance of the said articles. And that one of the articles required that the Register of the College of Physicians should be one of those that should signify the election of the Prov. and Senr. Fellows. Another was that Trinity College did oblige themselves to confirm the election of the College Physicians, provided the person elected were a Protestant of the Church of Ireland, and that seeing their Register was not there, and that the person whom they had elected was not a Protestant of the Church of Ireland the Provost and Senr. Fellows did not think it safe nor proper for them to confirm the election of the said Dr. Crosby.” On the 11th Nov., in the same year, the College of Physicians pro- posed to cancel the articles of agreement made in 1680, and the bonds relating to this agreement. To this the Board replied that “ If the Coll. town; the arms he bore were granted by Roberts, Ulster, to u Abraham Yarner, Captaine of a Troope of Hoorse in Ireland, descended from a noble and very auncient family.” Sir A. Yarner’s daughter, Jane, was married at St. Michan’s, on 4th Aug., 1663, to Sir John Temple, and from them was directly descended the late Lord Palmerston. a Ralph Howard, of Dublin, M.D., made his will 6th January, 1709 (proved 8th Oct., 1710). In it he names his sons, Hugh, Robert, Bishop of Killalla (afterwards of’ Elphin), and William, of Dublin ; and his daughters, Dorothy, wife of Anthony Dopping, and Catharine, wife of Dr. Thomas Molyneux. The Bishop’s eldest son, Ralph Howard, the first Viscount Wicklow, was grandfather of the present Earl of Wicklow. — (Information from Sir B. Burke.) Ralph Howard is the Dr. Howard above mentioned. He became M.D. Dubl. ; and a Fell, of Col. of Phys. in 1667 ; Regius Prof, of Phys. in 1674 ; and died in 1710. b One of the Fellows nominated in the Charter of 1667. He was also a Fellow of the London College ; M.D. of Leyden ; incorporated at Cambridge 1652 ; and admitted ad eundem at Dublin, 1664. See “ Munk’s Roll,” supr. cit. 32 Memoir of Sir Patrick Dun . of Physicians will deliver up all the writings that relate to Trin. Hall which are in their custody, and also give a release of all former grants and deeds made by Trin. Coll, to the Coll, of Physicians, concerning the said hall, that then Trin. Coll, would consent that the aforesaid articles and bonds should be cancelled. Trin. Coll, further proposes to set a lease of Trin. Hall for 40 years to the Coll, of Physicians on such terms as shall be agreed on.” — Barrett’s MSS., p. 72. On the 19th May, 1688, the College of Physicians again requested the confirmation of Dr. Crosby’s election, and were again refused on the former grounds. The College of Physicians seem to have resolutely adhered to their choice in Dr. Crosby’s case, and to have been supported in their conduct by Dun himself. About this time we lose all traces of Dr. Crosby, who, probably either died or left the country, like so many other Irishmen at this critical period. Dun having been an influential supporter of this college was, on St. Luke’s Day, 1690, chosen to succeed his non-confirmed predecessor; and his election was at once confirmed, as appears by the following entry in Barrett’s MSS. (p. 72) : — “Oct. 18, 1690. An instrument was sealed and signed by the Register to constitute Dr. Dun President of the Coll, of Physicians for the year ensuing.” Dun was v probably re-elected in 1691 and 1692; and during those years, seeing that unless independent in the choice of their president the college could not work well, and that the powers conferred by the charter of Charles II. were wholly insufficient to check the practice of quackery and empiricism ; he induced the college to petition Lord Viscount Sydney, then Lord Lieutenant, for a new charter similar to that of the London college. In this petition were also included requests for one of the forfeited houses, to be used as a college hall, and five or six acres of land near Dublin for a physic garden. The petition was referred to Sir John Temple, then Attorney- General for Ireland ; a on September 3rd, 1692, he advised granting its request; it was forwarded to their Majesties ; and on the 29th of the same month Lord Sydney received a royal mandate to have the new charter issued. On the 14th of December, 1692, the original charter of Charles II. was surrendered to the Lord Chancellor by Dr. Duncan Comyng ; b and the new one was probably given on the following day. It is dated 15th December, 1692, and under it, and some subsequent acts of Parliament the college is now governed. It is not necessary to give here a full copy of this charter, which Dun a Who married Sir A. Yarner’s daughter, as before noted. b Chosen Fellow about 1684 ; and nominated in the Charter of 1692. Obiit, 1724. He was M.A. and M.D. of Dublin ; and m. Mary, sister of Laurence Steele, of Rath- bride (will dated 31st Dec., 1700), of whom Dr. Steele, late Registrar of the College of Physicians, is a representative. Memoir of Sir Patrick Dan. 33 was chiefly instrumental in procuring, as it has been, twice at least, printed since 1692. The copies printed at the University Press in 1856 are now easily attainable ; and this latter edition having been compared with the original, and certified to be correct, by so accurate a gentleman as Dr. Steele, who was at that time Registrar, I need give no more than a table of contents of the Charter of William and Mary, which may be useful, not only to the student of medical history, but may also assist in the conducting of business at meetings of the president and fellows TABLE OF CONTENTS OF THE CHARTER OF 1692. a The numbers prefixed denote the Sections .

The grant of the new charter to the College of Physicians was probably made with the consent of the Board of T.C.D. ; for their privilege of electing the President seems to have been given up without any protest on their part. For this reason I am inclined to think that the Board received the quid pro quo , in the shape of the College of Physicians yielding to the demands contained in the proposal made by the Board in 1687, to cancel the agreement of 1680. (See Barrett’s MSS., supr. cit ., p. 72.) If such occurred, as is more than probable, it may be assumed that Trinity Hall reverted to the Board in or about 1693, and nearly all that is subsequently known of it, I have detailed in my memoir of Dr. Stearne (p. 28), before referred to. It will be observed that in the proposal to cancel the agreement it is distinctly stated that all the writings relating to Trinity Hall should be delivered up to the Board of T.C.D. ; and this gives a probable solution as to what became of various documents which the College of Physicians must have had while occupying Trinity Hall. The only two books of that period now in possession of the College have been referred to and quoted a Confirmed by the Medical Act, and extended to registered practitioners every' where. 37 Memoir of Sir Patrick Dun. from already ; a and they contain internal evidence of the existence of minute books, which are now lost, It appears that during the provost- ship of Dr. Baldwin many valuable papers belonging to T.C.D., extracts from which Dr. Barrett copied, were lost; and no account can be got of them. I may say here in passing, that from one of the books just noted it appears that Mrs. Stearne, widow of the first President, occupied Trinity Hall, as a residence, for several years after her husband’s decease ; and paid the College of Physicians rent for her lodgings. 15 The College of Physicians must have given up Trinity Hall on the surrender of the old charter, for Dr. Barrett records the appointment of a tutor in arts as master there on the 9th of July, 1694. c From this it appears that in 1694 it was given up to the purposes of general education. The next entry respecting it in Dr. Barrett’s MSS. is “ Nov. 21, 1694. Lease ordered of Trin. Hall for 41 years to Math. Shaw;” and his last notice of it is: “ 24th Jan. 1710, two leases to Dr. Jn. Barton, of Trin. Hall perfected for 40 years.” Among other evidence laid before a committee of the House of Commons on the 16th December, 1783, on the School of Physic question, Dr. Dabzac, d who was a Senior Fellow of Trinity College at that time, deposed that “Trinity Hall reverted to Senior Fellows, and is now [1783] in the possession of ye University.” In Gilbert's History of Dublin , (iii. 17), it is stated that “a portion of its site is occupied by the Alms House of St. Andrew’s Parish.” THE COLLEGE BEGINS TO MEET AT DUN’S HOUSE. The first meeting of the college under the new Charter took place on the 7th January, 169§ ; and it probably was held in Dr. Dun’s house on the Inn’s-quay. e From the minutes of this period it seems that the subject of our memoir was very energetic in claiming privileges under the new Charter; for, under date of Feb. 18th, 169-|, it is recorded that he and the fellows demanded from the Sheriff and obtained the body of a malefactor executed the same day ; and Dr. Gwythers/ one of the fellows, a D’Olins’ book, described on p. 28 of my memoir of Stearne ; and “ No. 7 Old Accounts,” supr. cit. b In the Provost’s house there is, among the heir loom portraits, one of a Doctor of Physic, name unknown. I believe it to be a portrait of Dr. Stearne. c “Sir Smith chosen Master of the School in Trinity Hall.’’ — Barrett, MSS., p. 47. d Henry Dabzac elected Fellow 1760 ; co-opted vice John Stokes, 1775. Died 12 May, 1790. — Dub. Univ. Calendar. e This may be inferred from the College Journal. f Charles Guither or Gwythers, M.D., Dubl., 1688, one of the Fellows nominated in the Charter of 1692; he died in 1700. “ Dr. Gwythers, a Physician and Fellow (probably of Coll, of Physicians), brought over Frogs in 1692 from England, which were first in the ditches of the Coll. Park. See Swift’s Works, note Tatler, Yol. iv., page 206.” Barrett MS. Miscells. Papers, No. 7- 38 Memoir of Sir Patrick Dun . was appointed to dissect it. Shortly after this (March 1st) Dun had a quarrel with Dr. Ralph Howard, another fellow, and it is stated that they submitted to the decision of their brethren in the matter; for, “the censure of the college being read to them they accordingly allowed of and complyed with it, and are now in presence of the college returned to their former friendship.” On the same day it was recorded that the body of the criminal had been dissected, and duly interred.* HIS MARRIAGE, AND HIS SON BOYLE. On the 1 1th of December, 1694, Dr. Dun took the important step of getting married. By this act he became connected with some of the best and most influential families in this country. The lady of his choice, who figured largely at a later date in the history of the College of Physicians, was Mary daughter of Colonel John Jephson, third son of Sir John Jephson, of Mallow, and of Bridget, daughter of Richard Boyle, Archbishop of Tuam, and sister of Michael Boyle, Archbishop of Armagh. Mrs. Dun’s eldest brother, William Jephson, was Dean of Lismore ; her second brother, Michael, became Dean of St. Patrick’s, Dublin ; her third brother was named John ; she herself was the fourth child of her parents ; the fifth was a sister, Elizabeth, who married — firstly, William Becket, Esq.-; and secondly, Sir John Topham, Knight ; and the sixth was also a sister, Katherine, who was wife of Colonel William Richardson, of Rich Hill, in Armagh. Patrick Dun and Mary Jephson had issue one son, Boyle, who was baptised on the 24th of November, 1697, and who died young. b The exact date of his decease I have not been able to ascertain. The fact that Dun had a child at all seems to have escaped notice hitherto. I am much indebted to the kindness of Sir Bernard Burke for the following documents, about which he took great trouble ; and, I may here express my thanks for his invariable and courteous attention to any request having for its object the advancement of medical literature. He gave me the fullest means of gaining all the information at his disposal. Appended to one of these documents are the arms of Dun, and also those of his father. The difference between them is a heraldic curiosity ; and, as I lately inspected Dun’s will at the offices of the Probate Court, I can vouch for the fact of the difference above referred to. The accom- panying woodcuts were executed by Mr. Oldham. a College Journal. b In reply to a letter of mine, I received the following from the Rev. Wm. Marrable, the present Rector of St. Michan’s : — “ I made a careful search yesterday [9 Aug., 1866], from the date you mention, 24 Nov., 1697, to Sep., 1724, and find no entry of the burial of Boyle Dun, who was baptized on the former date. I find Sir P. Dun was buried on 27 May, 1713, but no mention of his son’s burial.” 43 Memoir of Sir Patrick Dun. brumque virile prefati Hugonis inspiciendum scrutandum necnon super Interrogatoriis omnibus que aliis viis mediis ac modis seu Circumstantiis quibus melius scire poteritis de frigiditate seu Impotentia prefati Hugonis ad Coitum examinandum congruis et opportunis loco et tempore, per vos vel aliquos quinque vestrum elegendis, et assignamus prefatum Hugonem ad se Corpusque ac membrum suum virile amandandum exponendum coram vobis vel aliquibus quinque vestrum ad subeundum scrutinium inspectionem et examinationem predictam et insuper rogamus quod circa omnia et premissa singula vos vel aliqui quinque vestrum intendatis et ea faciatis et exequamini in dilate cum effectu ita quod quicquid in premissis vos vel aliqui quinque vestrum feceritis nobis aliove Judici dictse Curiae Consistorialis Metropoliticae Dublin, predictae cuicunque in hac parte com- petenti immediate post executionem presentium debite certificetis clausim et authentice sigillatorum, una cum presen tibus Datum undecimo die mensis Januarii 1695.

On the 29th of January, 1696, Dr. Dun was knighted by Charles, Earl of Mountrath, and Henry, Earl of Drogheda, Lords Justices ; and the next fact which I can find regarding him is, that, having in 1704 represented that there was an hospital in Dublin for the sick and infirm of the army, and that no physician had been appointed to attend them since the accession of Queen Anne, he was appointed on the 25th of 44 Memoir of Sir Patrick Dun. March, 1705, “Physician-General of the Army,” with a salary of ten shillings per diem. a He appears to have been a regular attendant at the College meetings to the last ; he was engaged in all its public, and in its more important private transactions throughout ; as already noted, he filled its prin- cipal offices many times, and, according to the testimony of the College journals, he discharged all his duties to that body with industrious and energetic fidelity. His son Boyle being probably dead, he made his celebrated will, and his equally celebrated deed concerning a professor of physic, in 1711. I give the ipsissima verba of both documents. THE WILL b “ Sr. Patrick Dun’s Last will and Testament. “ In the Name of God Amen The sixteenth Day of November and in the Year of our Lord God one thousand seven hundred and eleven and in the tenth year of the Reign of our Sovering Lady Queen Anne I Sr. Patrick Dun Knight being somewhat indisposed in Body but of Good and perfect memory (thanks be to Almighty God) Do make this my Last Will and* testament in manner and form Following that is to say, “ First I resigne my Soul into the hands of my Creator from whom I received it, in full hope of eternall Salvation thro : the merits of my Lord and Savour Jesus Christ and I desire my Body may be privately Interred without any Publick Noise or Ostentation in a Vault Adjoyning to the South West wall in the Inside of the Parish Church of new St. Michans in Dublin, which Vault I purchas’d from the Minister and a Dr. A.

Accordingly the Queen appointed him, Physician General of the Army, with the said fee, from Lady-Day, 1705 [Mar. 25], by Privy Seal, at St. James’s, Oct., 12, 1705, and by Patent at Dublin, Nov. 17, 1705.” From the Book of Patent Offices in Ireland, in Ulster’s Office. Dun was seeking for the office of Physician-General as early as 1683. — See his letter of 2nd June, 1683, on page 22. Daniel de Maziers des Fontaines, M.D., whose patent was dated 15 May, 1669, immediately preceded Dun in this office ; and his immediate successor was John Friend, M.D., whose patent was dated 16, July, 1713. b This Will, and the Deed which follows it, are copied from “ Sir P. Dun’s Book,” a MS. in the archives of the Coll, of Phys., and described in my Memoir of Dr. Stearne.

A full account of all these descendants of Bessie Dun is contained in the private memoir of Young already quoted. a Wife of James Moire, of Ferrie Hill, near Aberdeen. None of these three sisters is included in the baptismal register of the Duns already quoted. Probably they were the children of Charles Dun’s first marriage, or were born after 1654, to which year only search was made. This sum stands, as above, in the original Will ; but Dun evidently meant to give only £333 6s. 8d. to each of his sisters.

So far as I am aware these important documents have never yet been printed in full; though it appears on the College Journal, under date 28 April, 1741, that 500 copies of both were then ordered to be printed ; and the late Professor Osborne, a in his Annals of Sir P. Dun’s Hospital, published a great part, but not the whole of this will. Dun’s friend, the Reverend Mr. King, was now Archbishop of Dublin ; and the last letter of his which I have been able to obtain is written to that prelate as follows : — “Tewsday 80 Septr. 1712. “ Maye it please your Grace “I am sorry to heare that your Grace hath brought ye gout to toun with you, I praye God that it maye be ane easy and short fitt, I humbly a Jonathan Osborne, M.B., Dubl., 1818 ; M.D. 1837 ; sometime Pres., V.P., Censor, and Registrar of the College of Physicians. He vacated his Fellowship on election to the King’s Professorships of Materia Medica and Pharmacy, and was chosen an Hon. Fell, in 1840. He was Physician to Mercer’s Hospital, and published many medical essays, some of which are very curious and learned. He died 22nd January, 1864, and was buried in a vault under St. Michan’s Church, where (by his own desire) his coffin stands in an upright position. He was an elegant scholar, particularly in the Greek language. For his life and writings see Bub. Quart. Joum. of Med.

On the 20th of April, 1713, he attended a college meeting for the last time; he died on the 24th of May following, and on the 27th he was buried under St. Michan’s Church, as directed in his will. Shortly after Sir Patrick’s death Lady Dun addressed the following letters to Archbishop King : — “ June ye 6th, 1713. “ My good Ld., — Could I conseall wt. has put mee into a miserable condition, out of regard to yu I would doe soe because I know in some measure yu. will greve for one of ye best of men that has bin yr.

Dun during her life, and, also, to take posses- sion of his library. On the 18th of January, 17^f, the College recited Sir P. Dun’s bequest of his house to them, and, in consequence of the invitation from his widow, took possession, and met there for the first time on the same day. In 1715 a charter was obtained, dated 14th a The following are references to the Commons Journals : — Dun’s Hospital # Accounts No 382, 383, Yol. xvi. (79) (95). Dun’s Professorships. Clauses No 318. Physic No 930, 931 ; Articles, Bills. 61 Memoir of Sir Patrick Dun. October, in the second year of George II., incorporating the pro- fessorship agreeably to the rules laid down in Sir P. Dun’s deed, and appointing perpetual successorship, under the title of “ The King’s Professorship of Physic in the City of Dublin.” The first notice for electing this King’s Professor appeared on 16th of March, 1716 ( Dublin Gazette , 1717), and Dr. Robert Griffith was chosen to be the first Pro- fessor. The electors were, Benjamin Pratt, Provost, T.C.D. ; Thomas Molyneux, Regius Professor of Physic ; Richard Helsham, President of the College of Physicians ; William Smyth and James Grattan, Senior Censors. Dr. Griffith died in 1719, and was succeeded by Dr. James Grattan. For some years after the death of Sir P. Dun, Lady Dun was on the best terms with the College ; but before the death of Dr. Griffith they found it necessary to commence proceedings by filing a bill against her and her co-executor, Dr. Patrick Mitchell, with whom (as appears by the preceding letters) she was not on good terms, in order to compel them to execute the trust. Lady Dun’s own feelings will be best described in the following letter to Archbishop King ; the letter itself is a good comment on Dun’s intentions regarding his medical bequests : — “ May ye 3d, 1716. “ May it please yr« Grace, — I am sorry to find yr. good intention of my husband (which wholly depends on yr. Grace’s friendship to him and inclination to do good) in danger of being lost. I am sensible that all which has been done since his death is owing to yr. Grace, and that the settling a Professor was a trust Left in the body of Physitians to get done previous to the Sailary he intended and I think my Life gives them an opportunity to get a Professor chosen that might have a right to Claim after I am gone and be possesed of what will fall into hands Less in their Interest than I am, but since tis thought my husbands kind disposition to me is an obstruction to this good work, Tho. as there is no present Sallary : so there is no present business required from such a Professor, but that of a Law Sute which they apprehend will be some charge, I will out of regard to my husband and gratitude to his leaving me all, give some help towards the Sute, when the Professor is Chosen and prefers a Bill to make the trustees assign according to the direc- tions in the Will. I will Let such Professor have as much of my House for his own dwelling as will save him the Rent of a small one and in case my House should be set at the time yt. Sute commences I will allow him at the rate of thirty pound a year till the House comes into my hands and I give him an apartmt. in it, at which time ye Colledge shall have the priviledge of meeting there, and in case such a professor should have a Large Family I will quitt the whole House he paying me twenty pound a year, and giving security for the Library of Books, this regard to my husbands intent I am incouraged to shew by yr. Graces 62 Memoir of Sir Patrick Dun. assisting in it. I am sure all that receiv’s benifit by the work must allow it a place among the many good ones that the publick owes to yr. Grace, this proposal of mine I trust your Grace with and I hope if it is Claimed on the account I have mentioned yr. Grace will not fear my going back from it, I am sure twould not be agreeable in a Letter to yr. Grace to reed the reasons I can give for my trusting all good works to yr. care I hope some that can express such things better will do you Justice and that yr. Grace will accept of my gratefull acknowledgements for yr. favours and believe me to be with all sincerity my Ld. 66 Your Graces obliged and very humble servant, “M. Dun. “ ye Ld. Arch-Bp. of Dublin.” The case was brought to a hearing in 1723, and a decree was obtained, in pursuance of which the estates bequeathed for the support of a pro- fessor were conveyed to Lady Dun during her widowhood, with remainder to the College in trust for the professor and his successors. Another decree of the Court of Chancery was obtained in 1733, on a rehearing of the case ; and this directed that an account of the personal estate of Sir P. Dun should be taken by one of the masters. When this report was brought up Lady Dun took further exceptions, and instituted pro- ceedings afresh. At length, in 1740, by consent of all parties, it was decreed that she should assign all securities mentioned in the master’s report, and also give security by recognizance for the payment of £1,200 after her death to the College for the purposes of the trust. a The bequest of Dun being now secured, and the college being of opinion that on the expiration of leases at Lady Dun’s death the estate would rise in value, determined to enlarge the plan laid down in the deed by establishing professorships supplementary to the medical courses then taught in the university; and in 1743 obtained an act of Parliament 11 vacating the office of King’s Professor on the death or resignation of Dr. Grattan ; and directing the annual income previously applied to that purpose to be divided equally between three professors, who were to be styled the King’s Professors of Physic ; of Surgery and Midwifery ; and of Pharmacy and Materia Medica. The candidates were to be examined a Osborne’s Annals of Sir P. Dun’s Hospital, p. 11. The College journals state that on the 18th of January, 1741, the president was served with an ejectment from the ground on which Dun’s house stood. b This act was never printed among the statutes of Parliament ; and though fre- quently quoted as having passed in the 21st of Geo. II. (even in subsequent statutes, such as the 40 Geo. III., cap. 84,) it was enacted in the 15th of Geo. II., and is expressly stated to be a public act. I have read the original in the Record Office. It appears to have been privately printed, in 8vo, in 1747. See Dr. Perceval’s t( Account of the Bequest of Sir P. Dun,” &c. Dublin, 1804. There is no printed copy extant, so far as I know. 63 Memoir of Sir Patrick Dun . by the Provost of T.C.D. ; the Regius Professor of Physic ; the President of the College of Physicians, and the two Senior Censors of the same. The college journals state that this bill passed on 18th January, 1741. In January, 1748, Lady Dun died, and was buried under St. Michan’s Church, beside her husband. 8. Dr. Grattan, the second King’s Professor, died in the same year ; and on the 20th of May, 1749, the first notice for the election of Professors under the Act of Parliament appeared. b The following were elected Professor of Physic — Henry Quin, M.D., of Padua. c „ Chirurgery and Midwifery- — Nathaniel Barry, M.D., of Rheims. d „ Pharmacy and Materia Medica — Constantine Barbor M.D., of Dublin. a “ In Summer, 1843, the writer of this note, accomponied by a gentleman connected officially with Dun’s Hospital, having been furnished with the requisite permission from the parochial authorities of St. Michan’s, made an unsuccessful search for the bodies of Sir Patrick and Lady Dun, in the vault stated to have been purchased by the deceased knight for his own interment and that of his wife, and especially ordered by his will to have been closed ; a direction which was found to have been entirely neglected ; so ignorant, indeed, on this topic, were the persons in charge of the church, &c., that it was only on referring back to the church books in the years in which Sir Patrick and Lady Dun had respectively died, that it was made apparent to the parish officers of St. Michan’s that the couple in question had been interred below the church.” — “A Short Memoir of James Young, &c.” (op. supr. cit.) note G-., p. xii. On this note my learned friend, Richard Caulfield, Esq., LL.B., F.S.A. (referring to the recent Archaeological Congress in London), writes : — “ It reminded me of the beautiful old Chnrch of St. Helen’s, Bishopsgate-street, London, which we visited last month. One Francis Bancroft, a great benefactor, was buried in it, and by his will certain members of the Drapers Company had to go to the vault every year to see if his body were all safe. This they continue to do still ; and Mr. Tite, M.P., told me that the coffin was decayed, but the body lies on the floor of the vault, rolled up in the grave clothes.” — See another curious case under the head Stevenage, Hertfordshire, in Lewis’s Topographical Dictionary, Lond., 1831. b Book of Electors Proceedings. c Dr. Quin was afterwards (I presume) admitted M.D., ad eundem , at Dublin. He was President of the College of Physicians seven times ; and died on the 11th February, 1791. There is a medal of Quin in the Museum ; and Dr. A. Smith, under that head, says of him in his “ Catalogue of the Museum of the King and Queen’s College of Physicians in Ireland ; Dublin, 1864” : — “ He was an accomplished musician, and used to take part in the fashionable Concerts held in the old theatre, Fishamble-street ; he also had a private theatre at his residence on the north side of St. Stephen ’s-green. He acquired great skill in imitating antique sculptured gems with coloured glass ; and was the first to recognize the genius of James Tassie, whom he engaged as his assistant, and subsequently enabled him to proceed to London, in 1766, to practice an art by which he acquired wealth and the highest reputation.” d Afterwards Sir N. Barry. He was the only son, by his first wife, of Dr., after- wards Sir Edward Barry, Bart. Sir Edward graduated M.B. at Dublin on the 12th of February, 17fg ; and M.D. on the 8th of July in the same year. He was elected a 64 Memoir of Sir Patrich Dun . On the 28th of November, 1752, each of the King’s Professors was ordered to lecture thrice weekly in the Philosophy School, T.C.D. Dr. Barbor died in 1783, and the estates at this time producing £926 per annum, the College of Physicians conceived that the School of Physic ought to be furnished with additional professorships, and provision should? be made for clinical instruction. The following notes, which I have taken from the Parliamentary papers at Dublin Castle, show the prelimi- nary steps which eventuated in the passing of the Statute 25 Geo. III., cap. 42, in 1785 : — 1783-4. — Committee of House of Commons appointed to enquire what may be the most effectual means of establishing a complete School of Physic in this kingdom (No. 1, Bundle 94, Com. Books). Monday, Dec. 1783 — Rt. Hon. J. H. Hutchinson in the chair. Dr. Cleghorn examined — Objected to then existing plan of School of Physic as incomplete — “ Degrees not being founded by it.” He also thought it not reputable that gentlemen should go abroad for degrees. Dr. Cullen said u that there is nothing mentioned in the will of Sir Pat. Dunn about the study of medicine.” Testator everywhere calls it a professorship which he wished to establish in the College of Physicians. In Edinburgh the proportion of medical students desiring degrees to those who did not [i.e. those wishing licences only] was “ about 24 to 300.” This committee adjourned to 27th June next ; but no report appears to have been given. After some delay the Act already referred to was passed. This statute changed the University lectureships of anatomy and chirurgery, chemistry, and botany, into professorships, and instead Fellow of the College of Physicians on the 22nd of July, 1740, and was chosen President in 1749. In 1754 he was appointed Regius Professor of Physic in the University. He was also F.R.S., and Physician-General to the Army in Ireland. Removing to London, he was incorporated (probably) at Oxford on the 30th of June, 1761, on which day, according to the Catalogue of Oxford Graduates, he received a license to practice. In 1762 he became a Fellow of the London College of Physicians, was created a Baronet on the 6th of July,’ 1775, and died at Bath 29th March, 1776. — (See Munk’s Roll of R. Coll. Phys., Lond.) His second wife was Jane, d. of Anthony Dopping, Bishop of Ossory, and by her he bad three sons and two daughters. The baronetcy devolved on Nathaniel, above mentioned. He was (probably) admitted, ad eundem, at Dublin ; was chosen Fellow of the College of Physicians on St. Luke’s day, 1758, and President in 1767 and 1775. He married Catherine, d. of Walter Jones, of Headfort, Co. Leitrim, Esq. ; and by her had an only child, Edward, who succeeded his father (who died in 1785), and died s. p. in France. Sir Edward (third baronet) was succeeded by his cousin Edward, s. of Rev. John Barry, Dean of Elphin. He also died s. p., and with him the title expired. The pedigree of this family is in Ulster’s office, but the baronetcy does not appear to have been noticed by writers on these subjects. Sir Nathaniel is the only instance in which two baronets, father and son, were Presidents of the College of Physicians, and, successively, Physicians General to the Army in Ireland. A good portrait of him, by Gainsborough, presented by Sir Henry Marsh (second baronet) is in the College of Physicians. 65 Memoir of Sir Patrick Dun. of the professorships previously established it constituted the following : — Institutes of Medicine, Practice of Medicine, Materia Medica and Phar- macy, Natural History, and, contingently, Midwifery. It also made pro- vision for clinical lectures, and for support of Sir P. Dun’s library. This act was ( inter alia) intended to remedy abuses which existed with reference to the discharge of the professorial duties. In the records of a Committee of the House of Lords, which sat on 22nd July, 1756, it appeared from the evidence of Dr. Anthony Belhan, president, and Dr. Barbor, vice-president, of the College, that no lectures had been read as provided by statute. The first professors under the 25 of Geo. III., cap. 42, were appointed in March, 1786. They were : — Institutes of Medicine — Stephen Dickson. Practice of Medicine — Edward Brereton. Materia Medica and Pharmacy — Edmund Cullen. The other professorships do not appear to have been filled up. In 1791 a Committee of the House of Commons was appointed to consider the best mode of promoting the execution of the Act for Establishing a School of Physic, so far as it relates to Clinical Lectures (B. 94, No. 2). It met 26th March, 1791, Bight Honble. Secretary of State in the chair. Drs. Brereton, Percevall, Stephen Dickson, and Edward Cullen, examined. The committee reported that an hospital ought to be built, and that the College of Physicians should be empowered to do it ; and they recommended a bill to this effect to be brought in. This was done ; and a further statute was passed in the 35th of Geo. III. empowering the College to raise £1,000 on Dun’s estates to build an hospital. The construction of the 25 Geo. III., on which this was based, was contested at law by the professors ; and so nothing came of this last statute. On the 15th of April, 1799, a committee of the Irish House of Lords was appointed to enquire into the application of Sir P. Dun’s funds, and to report how far it is consistent with the public good and with the faithful discharge of the intentions of the testator that the appropriation of the said funds should remain any longer in the College of Physicians. This committee met ; and as there is even now considerable diversity of opinion on this question, I subjoin extracts from the evidence on which its report was based : — Dr. Perceval was examined, and deposed that he did not think the College had faithfully discharged the trust or the intentions of Dun. He stated that the surplus had been applied “ partly in purchasing books, partly in the payment of the library porter, and attendance upon the library.” The largest number of patients admitted to the temporary E 66 Memoir of Sir Patrick Dun . hospital was 33 ; the smallest, 1 ; the average, 13. He did not think the College should continue to dispose of Dun’s funds, except under the control of visitors, and by the exclusion of interested persons from their body. Dr. Harvey stated that there were then no regular courses of lectures given. In reply to the query, “ Could any useful or extensive course of lectures be applied to the case of one patient ?” the following replies were given : — A. “ Dr. Plunket. — I think not. “ Dr. Cullen. — Certainly not. “ Dr. Harvey. — Yes ; if a very curious case ?” It was further deposed that the annual support of each hospital bed in Dublin in 1799 was £15 ; and that the annual salaries of the King’s Professors were then £300, Drs. Hopkins, Cullen, and Harvey agreed that the application of Dun’s funds to a medical library was in accordance with the intention of the legislature, with Dun’s will, and for the promotion of the study of physic. The following query and replies bear on the present state of the School of Physic : — Q. “ If the two studies of surgery and physick were united, and an establishment made for both under one roof, don’t you conceive it would tend most materially to extend the knowledge of physic, and be highly beneficial to the nation under wise and proper regulations ? A. “ Dr. Hopkins — I do think it would. “ Dr. Cullen. — I do, and accordingly it has been begun by grafting it on Mercer’s Hospital. “Dr. Harvey. — I do not think myself competent to answer this question.” The following is the report of the Committee : — b April 18th, 1799, Committee met. Earl of Altamont in the Chair. Present : — Earl of Mayo, Lord Tullamore, The following report of the examination and inquiry into the application of the funds bequeathed by Sir Patrick Dun was agreed to : — My Lords, — The Lords Committees appointed to examine into the application of the funds bequeathed by Sir Patrick Dun for the establish- ment of an hospital for clinical lectures, 0 and to report the same, as they shall appear to them, to this house, have met and made a minute inquiry into the matter to them referred, and after an investigation of the books of the College of Physicians, and the examination of the most respectable a Of this more hereafter. b Committee book, No. 9.

It appears to your Committee that by the 3 1 st of the present King it is provided that salaries from the funds of Sir Patrick Dun shall be paid to the three professors at the rate of one hundred pounds each, and no more, and that the surplus of the income of said estate, which exceeded one thousand pounds a-year after paying the said three professors, should be applied to the establishment and support of an hospital as the best means of extending the knowledge of medicine by uniting the practice to the theory of physic. It appears to your Committee that the salaries to the said three professors, at one hundred pounds a-year, and no more, has been regularly paid, but that though no hospital has been permanently established, nor any more than a very small sum applied to the support of patients, the only balance of the said surplus now forthcoming is £5 9s. 3d., though there ought to have been a balance of many thousand pounds. In searching for the cause of said deficiency, it appears to your Com- mittee, that many considerable sums have been expended by said College of Physicians, not at all warranted either by the intention of the testator or by the several acts of the Legislature before alluded to for carrying the same into effect; and among the said items unwisely and unwar- rantably expended, your Committee hold themselves bound to notice a present of claret to the President of the College of Physick annually ; an immoderate purchase of books, in some instances twice paid for ; lawsuits carried on in which the said College were both plaintiffs and defendants, and actually paid from said funds the expenses of both ; and loans to indigent members of said College, 13 which were never repaid in many instances, and which, with other charges equally foreign to the said trust, have consumed the whole surplus income of Sir Patrick Dun’s estates, which under wise and frugal management would have afforded means for a great and useful national establishment. a Dr. Hill in his pamphlet quoted below, arraigns the evidence as one-sided. b The erroneous statement respecting Dun’s bequest, contained in the preamable of this Report, led me to examine into the accuracy of other statements contained in it. As to the claret, I have carefully gone over the accounts of the estate, which were sub- mitted to this Committee, with Dr. Dwyer, the present Treasurer of the College ; and also the book of accounts of the private funds of the College, which are in no way con- nected with the estate ; and I invariably find every charge for wine, referred to in the report, on the private funds, and none whatever on the estates. Both books were regularly audited and signed as correct (by Dr. Percevel among others). The same remark applies to the 11 loans to indigent members.” 68 Memoir of Sir Patrick Dun. Your Committee being of opinion that there were funds abundantly sufficient for such establishment, earnestly hope that the wisdom of the Legislature will put them under such Regulations as will faithfully dis- charge the benign intention of the testator, and most extensively benefit the public. With reference to this report, which contains a flat contradiction to Dun’s own words, as regards his intentions ; I may say that, on perusal of the College journals, it is evident that there were two parties at this time in that body. Dr. Perceval, and those who sympathized with his views, were in the minority ; and he seems to have resorted to legal means, on the failure of frequent attempts in the College, to carry his own views. At any rate, the College censured him for his share in this transaction ; but yet he very soon after was elected President by them. His influence was very great, chiefly because he was supported by the authorities of the University, who thus created a bad precedent for their own interests ; but whatever may be said for the success attending his efforts, one thing is quite clear, that the statute 40 Geo. III., cap. 84 (now known as the School of Physic Act), which was enacted in 1800, and was, I believe, almost the last act of the Irish Parliament applied Sir P. Dun’s funds in ways never intended by him — virtually transferred them from the body designed by him to two others which were never intended to profit by them, and introduced an unsound principle, by thus proving that no individual can safely leave his property for any public purpose. 15 Section 8 of this Act furnishes sufficient evidence on this point, by coolly transferring the property of one body to another: — “And whereas a sum of one thousand two hundred pounds stands vested in the public funds of Great Britain, which belongs to the said College, and constitutes a part of the funds applicable by them to the a The last Act, Cap. 100, was about the butter trade, and other matters connected with the city of Cork. b From his will and deed it is manifest that he left his money to advance the position of his own profession by providing professorships of value which would raise their holders, and the calling of medicine, in the estimation of the public, and also raise the standard of medical education. So, indeed, Lady Dun says in one of her letters (p. 55). He never contemplated the support of the sick poor ; and the legal injustice done by forfeiting his funds (in great part) for the last-named purpose is much the same as if the greater part of the fund left by his friend Archbishop King to endow a Divinity Lecturer were given by Act of Pariament to build and endow churches in Dublin, because the fund was very valuable, and the lectures were irregularly given. On this subject see on one side, Dr. Dickson’s “ Letter to his Medical Brethren relative to the School of Physic.” Dub., 1795 ; and Dr. Hill’s “ Address,” and other pamphlets. Dub., 1803 / 1805, and, 1814 ; on the other side, Dr. Perceval’s Account of Dun’s Bequest. Dublin, 1804.

The School of Physic Act of 1800 is the statute under which Dun’s property is now administered ; and it is generally called by the above title, because it has reference to other matters than Dun’s estates, and chiefly to the constitution and regulation of that medical corporation or college which is therein entitled “ the School of Physic,” but which is commonly and incorrectly confounded with the Medical School of the University. The bill was read for the first time in the House of of Commons, on 2nd July, 1800 ; for the second time, on the 4th, on which day it was committed. It passed through committee, and was reported on the 8th ; was read for the third time and passed on the 9th ; was returned to the Lords and assent given on the 1st of Aug., 1800. a In order to give a clear view of a somewhat complex question I may briefly recapitulate the corporate and legislative transactions in regard to Sir P. Dun’s Will. By his will he directed that his intentions as expressed in his “ deed” already given, should be carried into effect. This was partly done by authority of a Royal Charter which was, in effect, nothing more than giving an official stamp to Dun’s will. This was succeeded by the Act passed in the 15th year of Geo. II., which also adhered to Dun’s will, except in two important particulars : — 1. It provided that his intentions respecting the teaching of anatomy, botany, &c., need not be carried out, inasmuch as the University had made provision for this part of a medical education ; and 2. It increased the number of professors beyond those contemplated by Dun, to meet what was certainly a pressing want at the time. On this latter fact I may observe, that the Legislature and the College of Physicians by appointing a Professor of Chirurgery and Midwifery, carried out the old idea, which is becoming fashionable again in our own day, that chirur- gery and midwifery were parts of physic, not separate professions ; and, it will be borne in mind that these professors were appointed to teach students in physic , surgery , and pharmacy. The Act of the 25th of Geo. III., altered and amended the Act before a Yol. xix. of Journals. 70 Memoir of Sir Patrick Dun. mentioned, chiefly by abolishing the Professorship of Chirurgery and Midwifery, and by instituting instead of it one of the Institutes of Medicine, and one of Natural History. The Act of the 31st of Geo. III., amended the last mentioned statute chiefly in respect of that part which related to clinical lectures; but the Act of 40th Geo. IH., cap. 84, repealed all the preceding statutes on the same subject, except a portion of the statute of the 15th Geo. II. ; and, as this Act was never printed, among the statutes, I subjoin those portions of it which are yet unrepealed. Among the enactments regarding the examinations for elections of professors is this clause : — “ And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid that if, upon any election of the professor or professors aforesaid, there be any person among the candidates who shall be lineally descended from the aforesaid Patrick Dun, of Taerty,* and shall be attested to be so by certificate under the hand of the Provost Baillies and Council of Aberdeen in North Britain, and the Ministers of Aberdeen for the time being, and who, on such examination as aforesaid, shall be found to be equally qualified with any of the other candidates for the said professorship or professorships, and shall be so reported by the examinators aforesaid, such person or persons shall have the preference before any other of the candidates, and shall be by them declared duly elected into the said professorship or professorships; and such person or persons, so reported and declared, are hereby respectively declared to be the professor or professors within this Act; anything herein contained to the contrary thereof, in anywise notwithstanding, and the [that ?] next to those descended from the said Patrick Dunn the like preference shall be given in like manner to any other candidates who shall be examined and reported equally qualified as aforesaid, who shall be lineally descended from the first, second, and third sisters of the said Sir Patrick Dunn, b the issue of the eldest and their issue being always to take place of the issue of the youngest and their issue ; such descent from the said sisters of the said Sir Patrick Dunn to be certified and attested as the descent of the said Patrick Dunn of Taerty is hereby directed; and the like preference in like manner shall be next given to such candidate as shall be lineally descended from the said John Jepson; and after them to such as shall be lineally descended from the said William Jepson ; and next to them, to such as shall be likewise lineally descended from the said Elissia Reader, sister of the said Dame Mary Dunn, and wife of the said Enoch Reader, deceased ; and lastly, to those descended from the said Murrogh Lord Viscount a Sir Patrick Dun’s cousin mentioned in his Will. b See notes to the Will, pp. 48 and 49. 71 Memoir of Sir Patrick Dun . Blessington, a in the order and precedency and according to the priority of their respective nominations as they are last before mentioned herein and to no other.” In a book which I have previously quoted b it is stated “ that the above-mentioned right of preference enjoyed by the parties referred to in the deed of Sir Patrick Dun [and confirmed by Royal Charter, and by Statute of 15 Geo. II. just quoted] was fully recognised by the authorities of the hospital, when in the Winter of 1831-32 the late William Ross, M.D., son of John Leith Ross, of Arnage, and Mrs. Elizabeth Young, of Bourtie — the latter a great granddaughter of Mrs. Elizabeth, or Bessy, Dun — was for a period extending over several months following his medical studies in the Irish capital.” I have searched the hospital records in vain for any confirmation of this statement ; but I find that a Mr. Charles A. Ross is entered in the pupil’s book as having paid his fees to the hospital on the 1st of November, 1834. Regarding Dun’s Library the following clause of the same Act is still in force : — “And as to and concerning the library of books, part of the said personal estate of the said Sir Patrick Dun, so vested in the said College of Physicians as aforesaid. Be it enacted, by the authority aforesaid, that the said President and Fellows of the College of Physicians in Ireland shall, with all convenient speed, by and with the consent of the said Archbishop of Dublin then being, and any two of the said professors, deposit and place the same in some convenient place in or near the said City of Dublin, for the use of the said College of Physicians, and of all the said professors and their successors, subject to such conditions, rules, regulations, and directions for the safe custody and good usage of the said books, as by the said Archbishop of Dublin, the said President and Fellows of the College of Physicians in Ireland, and any two of the said Professors, by deed or instrument in writing, under the common seal of the said college, and under the hand and seals of the said archbishop and professors, shall be limitted, appointed, and established concerning the same.” a Murrough Boyle, elevated to the Irish peerage, 23 Aug., 1673, in the dignity of Viscount Blesinton, only surviving son of Michael Boyle, Archbishop of Armagh, Lord Primate, Lord Almoner, and Lord Chancellor of Ireland, who was son of Richard Boyle, Archbishop of Tuam, and grandson of Michael Boyle, who was youngest brother of Richard Boyle, the 1st and great Earl of Cork.

THE SCHOOL OF PHYSIC. u The School of Physic in Ireland ” is a medical corporation or college, governed by the Statute of the 40th Geo. III., the contents of which are well known to all concerned. It consists of the Professors of Anatomy and Chirurgery, of Chemistry, and of Botany, on the University found- ation, appointed by the Provost and Senior Fellows of Trinity College ; of the King’s Professors of the Institutes of Medicine, of the Practice of Medicine, and of Materia Medica and Pharmacy, on the foundation of Sir Patrick Dun, practically appointed by the President and Fellows of the College of Physicians, as provided in the School of Physic Act ; a and of such students as shall matriculate with the Registrar of Trinity College. To this Statutable foundation the University has added a Professor of Surgery, and an Anatomist, on the foundation of Trinity College ; and the College of Physicians has added a Professorship of Midwifery and the Diseases of Women and Children ; and also a Professorship of Medical Jurisprudence. As soon as the Governors of Sir P. Dun’s Hospital are able to support 100 patients, the Professorship of Midwifery will become a King’s Professorship on the same foundation as the others of the same name. Full details of the working of the School of Physic, and of the succession of the University professors and lecturers, will be found in the Dublin University Calendar ; the following is the list of professors on Dun’s foundation, and of those founded by the College of Physicians : — PRACTICE OF PHYSIC.

M.D.CCCXIV. {Sir Patrick DurZs Hospital .) Sir Patrick Dun’s Hospital was founded by the School of Physic Act in 1800, and is now governed by the directions laid down in that statute. For several years previous to its erection, great inconvenience was felt from the want of clinical lectures in connexion with the School of Physic ; and several temporary expedients were resorted to to remedy this defect. The statute 25 Geo. III.,* provided that until a hospital should be built, clinical lectures might be given in some hospital in Dublin. Accordingly, on the 14th of January, 1788, the College of Physicians to some extent fulfilled the spirit of the law by taking a house in Clarendon-street for a clinical hospital. After a time this had to be given up, chiefly on the score of expense, a committee reporting to the College, on the 14th of August, 1790, that the cost of maintaining the institution was much higher than in other hospitals in Dublin — the cost of drugs alone being eight times as high as at other hospitals. On the 8th of November, 1790, the furniture of the hospital in Clarendon- street was ordered to be removed to Mercer’s Hospital : and in case it could not be there accommodated, further directions were given to remove 74 Memoir af Sir Patrick Dun. it to Stevens’ Hospital. On the 9th of July, 1792, a lease of a house on Blind-quay (now Wellington-quay) was accepted by the College for an hospital. This was called Sir Patrick Dun’s Hospital, and was put in working order for thirty clinical patients on the 27th of September in the same year. This institution seemed to work for a short time only, for, on the 16th of February, 1793, the College took into consideration the appoint- ment of a Physician-in-Ordinary to Sir P. Dun’s Hospital in Lower Exchange-street. According to the College journals, this was working in 1797; and on the 21st of January, 1799, Mercer’s Hospital was reported ready for the reception of clinical patients on Dun’s foundation. The College and the Governors of Mercer’s Hospital did not pull well together. At first the hospital in Lower Exchange-street was kept open during the whole year, then only during a part of the year ; next, the patients decreased in number, until, finally, it would appear from the evidence given before the Lords’ Committee in 1799, that at one time only one patient was to be found in it. a By the statute 31 Geo. III., the College was empowered to raise £1,000 to build an hospital; but, as already stated, the professors con- tested the construction of this Act, and so nothing was done in that way until after 1800, when the School of Physic Act gave more clear and extended powers. By this Act the building of the hospital was entrusted to eight Commis- sioners, viz., the Right Honourable Sackville Hamilton, the Provost of Trinity College, and the President of the College of Physicians for the time being, Sir Francis Hutchinson, Baronet, the Hon. George Knox, Dr. Arthur Browne (LL.D.), William Digges Latouche, and Abraham Wilkinson, Esquires. These Commissioners were directed by the Act to “ appropriate” the £1,200 already mentioned, belonging to the College of Physicians, together with the rents which should be collected (minus payment of certain fixed charges), until accommodation should be afforded for thirty patients. They selected a lot of ground in Grand Canal-street, of which a lease for 998 years was granted to the President and Fellows of the College of Physicians, from David Courtenay, Esq. b The College seal was affixed to this lease on the 10th of May, 1802. c “Having in 1808 expended £6,346 of Sir Patrick Dun’s funds in the erection of the west wing of the hospital, and in enclosing the ground, and making a This record of the various attempts at clinical instruction has been taken from the College Journals, and from the pamphlets of Drs. Dickson, Hill, and Perceval, already noted. The hospital on Blind Quay is not noticed by these gentlemen ; and where- ever any discrepancy occurred in the accounts, I have followed the minutes of the College of Physicians. b Osborne’s Annals of Sir Patrick Dun’s Hospital, p. 15. It is well to say that the present representative of this gentleman, Henry Courtenay, Esq., of this city, one of the Governors, has recently embellished the Hospital at considerable expense. 0 Coll. Journal, in loc. 75 Memoir of Sir Patrick Dun . sewers, and, being destitute of any means for carrying on the building, except the annual produce of the estates, which was quite inadequate, an application was made for Parliamentary aid, and in the ensuing session they obtained a grant of £6,204 for the purpose of finishing the wing then erecting, and for procuring, furnishing, and maintaining a temporary hospital.”* — Osborne’s Annals . On the 24th of June, 1808, the west wing being finished, and capable of affording accommodation to thirty patients, the Commissioners sum- moned a Board of the Governors nominated in the School of Physic Act, and delivered up to them the management of the institution, which was opened for clinical instruction on the 25th of October in the same year. By the aid of subsequent Parliamentary grants the hospital was com- pleted, and accommodation was provided for the Professors on Dun’s foundation, who lectured there from that time until a few years ago — for the students, for Dun’s library, and for the Convocation Hall of the College of Physicians. The building of the hospital was commenced in 1803, and was completed in 1816, and the first College meeting there took place in 1818. The Board of Governors consists of the Visitors of the College of Physicians ; the President, Vice-President, and Censors of the same ; the Provost of Trinity College ; and of twelve other persons chosen by the ex-officio Governors from among the subscribers to the hospital. The elected Governors are annually chosen, in March ; and though the annual election does not appear to be required by the Act, yet it has been the invariable custom. In point of fact, however, it does not make any material difference, as it is usual to re-elect the same persons from year to year, during their lives. u No Physician or Surgeon who shall attend Patients [in the hospital], shall be capable of acting as a Governor of the said hospital.” — 40 Geo. III., cap. 84, sec. 4. During the last two years the College has given over to the Governors the entire use of the central portion of the building, with a view to the conversion of the hospital into a medico-chirurgical institution, a change which was considered desirable for the improvement of the School of Physic, medical cases only having been admissible previous to this altera- tion. This change has been attended with the best results, and has con- tributed, in some degree, to carry out the intention of Sir P. Dun, who — as appears from his will and deed — considered surgery to be a part of medicine, an educated view of the subject which Hippocrates and the ancients entertained, and which the strides of modern medical science have shown to be the correct view. So long ago as the 1 6th of February, 1793, physicians-in-ordinary were recommended to be appointed to attend patients in the temporary Dun’s Hospital in Lower Exchange-street, and a See Report on certain Charitable Establishments in the City of Dublin, which received Aid from Parliament. Dublin, printed by Grierson in 1809. 76 Memoir of Sir Patrick Dun. this usage has been maintained almost to the present time. In conse- quence, however, of the conversion of the entire hospital to clinical purposes under the late arrangement, the clinical professors who, pre- viously, had only attended cases selected for clinical purposes, will, in future, have charge of the whole hospital ; and the office of Physician- in- Ordinary will terminate with the term of years for which each of the pre- sent holders, Dr. Henry Kennedy and Dr. William Moore, was appointed. 0. The intention of the School of Physic Act was that the University Medical Professors named therein, and those on Dun’s foundation, should be also clinical teachers, in accordance with the then fashionable Scotch system, which was further complied with in the adoption of their medical “ session ” into our school of physic instead of the university “ terms,” previously in use in Irish medical education, as in that of the other professions. If all the professors were chosen with this view it would answer well ; but it is not to be expected in the present state of science that a man chosen specially to teach chemistry or botany should, as a matter of course, be a good clinical teacher also. Nor, on the other hand, can it be expected that the men best fitted to give clinical instruc- tion should be at the same time the best teachers of these and other important sciences accessory to medicine. .

SIR PATRICK dun’s LIBRARY. 77 “ Bibliotheca Patricii Dun, Equitis Aurati,” was founded in 1711, by tbe will of Sir P. Dun, who bequeathed his books to the college ; and this bequest was subsequently confirmed by the Act of Geo. II., the special clause of which referring to this subject I have already given in full ; as it is still in force. In the clause aforesaid the books are stated to be for the use of the president and fellows and of the professors on Dun’s foundation. By the statute 25 Geo. III., cap. 42, part of the surplus funds of the trust estate were directed to be used “ for purchasing medical books for the use of the students in physic ” (sec vii.), and considerable sums were expended from time to time in pursuance of this enactment. The School of Physic Act, 40 Geo. III., cap. 84, wholly repealed that of 25 Geo. III., cap. 42, and did not substitute any corresponding clause; but the equitable principle therein contained, viz., the right of students of the school of physic to use Dun’s library, has all along been admitted by the president and fellows, who have never ceased to admit to the library, under certain conditions, those who have matriculated in that school according to statute. As already stated, the School of Physic Act of 1800 placed it in its present position, and under that statute, and the unrepealed portion of the 15th of Geo. II., it is now supported and governed. The Act of 1800 does not directly provide for its support out of Dun’s estate, further than by providing for a librarian and some minor matters ; but from 1800 to the present time a small annual grant for purchasing books and paying a library servant has always been made by the college, and allowed by the visitors, under the head of u other matters incident to the school of physic,” to which, according to sec. 4 of the Act, part of the surplus of the estate may be applied. For some years after Sir Patrick’s death the library remained in his house, which was used by the college as their place of meeting. Before a Committee of the House of Lords on the 22nd of July, 1756, the following evidence was given : — “ Q. Archbishop of Dublin. — What is become of the library of Sir P. Dun ? “A. Dr. Anthony Relhan. — The remains of them [are] in the pos- session of Dr. Quin, as they have no other place. “ Q. Have they any catalogue of the books ? “A. Yes; they have. “ Q. How many books are there ? “ A. About 300. “ Q. If any security was ever given for the forthcoming of the books ? “ A. It was never required.” 78 Memoir of Sir Patrick Dun . By a subsequent statute the books were directed to be removed to a room in Trinity College, where they remained until 1815, when, in accordance with the provision of the act of 1800, they were again re- moved to an apartment provided for them in the hospital. When the new college premises were opened in Kildare-street, in 1864, it was deemed advisable to have the library placed there ; and as the Act of 1800 did not direct that they should be permanently placed in the hospital, while that of 1743 directed their removal to “some convenient place in or near the City of Dublin, ” they were removed to their present more useful and “ convenient” position in the Summer of 1865. From the Lords’ Committee report of 1799 it would appear that great abuses had existed in regard to this library ; but these have long dis- appeared. On the 14th of August, 1787, the first library regulations appear to have been made. They are given at length in the College journal of that period ; and at the same time £18 a year was allowed for a library porter, as well as considerable sums for purchasing lecture apparatus for the use of the King’s professors. At first one of the King’s professors filled the office of librarian ; but subsequently this office was filled by one of the fellows. The following is a complete list of the librarians from 1787 to 1846 : — Stephen Dickson, . Elected 19 Sep., 1787. John Wm. Boy ton, • ?> 23 May, 1797. Hugh Ferguson, • ?> 18 Oct.., 1808.

John O’Brien, * 33 18 Oct., 1840. Geo. Alex. Kennedy, . * 33 5 Jan., 1846. None but a fellow was ever chosen to this office; but since 1800 the fellow so elected had, at once, to vacate his fellowship in accordance with the terms of the School of Physic Act. Up to the Summer of 1864 it was only a lending library, but on the death of Dr. Kennedy, which occurred in 1865, it was resolved to convert it into a reading library also. Accordingly the position of librarian had to be modified. A layman was elected to the office of librarian on Sir P. Dun’s foundation, with duties similar to those usually discharged by the assistant librarians in our large public libraries. In addition the College created the office of Honorary Librarian, which was intended to be filled by one of the fellows, who need not resign his fellowship ; and who should have the position and duties of senior or chief librarian in our large public 79 Memoir of Sir Patrick Dun. libraries. The title “ Honorary ” was given to denote that the holder received an honorarium , or fee, for his services from the college private funds, as distinguished from the librarian who receives a salary from the trust estates. On the 8th July, 1865, the College elected — Hon. Librarian — T. W. Belcher. Librarian on Dun’s foundation — H. J. Fennell. The library was opened in the new College in October, 1865, and it is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Sundays and a few other days excepted. dun’s portrait. In the Convocation Hall of the College of Physicians may be seen a fine portrait of Sir P. Dun in the robes of a Doctor in Physic, painted by Sir Godfrey Kneller. The accompanying engraving, by Mr. W. H. Lizars, a gives a very good idea of it, and also a fac simile of Dun’s signature. Professor Osborne, in his Annals of the Hospital, mentions another portrait of Dun which was in possession of John Leith Boss, Esq., of Arnage, in 1844. The picture of Sir Godfrey Kneller was presented by Peter Walsh, Esq., of Belline, and arrived in Dublin on the 14th of July, 1817. In the College Journal, under that date, appears a copy of the following certificate : — “ I certify that the portrait which I have the honour of presenting to the College of Physicians in Ireland is a genuine (copy) and original portrait of Sir Patrick Dun. It remained many years among the family pictures in the possession of the representative of Lady Dun’s sister (who survived her), and remained so when I procured it from a person that obtained it from Mrs. Jepson, the widow of a grandnephew of Lady Dun. The picture itself bears internal evidence of its authentictity. “ Belline December 12th — 1816. “ Peter Walsh.” FACTS IN COLLEGE HISTORY, 1695-1864. It may be well to give a short summary of a few facts connected with the College history from Dun’s time to the present. Repeated efforts, commenc- ing in 1695, were made by the College to get the charter of William and Mary confirmed by statute. These were petitioned against, mostly by the apothecaries, and invariably defeated. b Several statutes were, how- ever, passed during the 18th century, which had the effect of confirming the most important parts of the charter; and for a more particular a This first appeared in the Dublin Quarterly Journal in 1846. b See Dr. Moore (W. D.) “ On the History of Pharmacy In Ireland ” (Dub. Qu. Journ., Aug., 1848). This is one of the most interesting of Dr. Moore’s many and valuable papers. 80 Memoir of Sir Patrick Dun. account of them I must refer the reader to my Historical Introduction to the College Register for the present year. On the 23rd September, 1698, the Fellows were ordered to meet on Wednesdays and Fridays, at 8 p.m., at 44 St. Laurence’s Coffee House, during next session of Parliament.” From the temper of the times, and the previous history of the College, it was to be expected that some Fellows under the Old Charter were excluded by the new ; indeed this is implied on the preamble of the latter.* Accordingly, in the Journal of 15th April, 1700, it was resolved : — 44 That it be considered at next solemn meeting how ye fellows of ye Colledge shall behave yurselves towards such physitians as have been of ye former Charter and towards papist physitians.” b In the Lords’ Committee Report, which preceded the passing of the Act of 1800, it was complained, that among other abuses, part of Dun’s money was spent in buying claret for the President. Regarding this statement, which is not supported by the College accounts, it appears that the first hogshead of claret was ordered for President Harvey on the 27th of September, 1792 ; and on the 15th of December, in the same year (being the centenary of their re-incorporation), the College dined at Keane’s house in Kildare-street. For some years after 1800 the system of giving each president a sum of money for claret for entertaining the Fellows during his year of office prevailed; but from the year 1816 it has been discontinued. 6 From 1654 to 1692 the Fraternity, or College, occupied Trinity Hall; for some years after the latter date they occupied Sir P. Dun’s house on the Inn’s-quay; at a subsequent period their meetings were held at a house in Sackville-street, and later in the house of the President for the time being. As already stated, they occupied part of Sir P. Dun’s Hospital from 1818 to 1864, when they removed to the new buildings in Kildare-street. The foundation stone of these buildings was laid on Monday, 7th of July, 1862, by the late Earl of Carlisle, when Lord Lieutenant, during the presidency of Dr. (now Sir Dominic John) Corrigan, to whose exertions the erection of these buildings is in a great measure due. The last meeting in the Convocation room at Sir P. Dun’s Hospital was held on Friday, the 1st day of July, 1864; and the first meeting was held in the new buildings on the Tuesday following. The bi-centenary of the incorporation of the College will fall on the 8th of August, 1867. a Sec. 3. b Nothing seems to have come of this notice of motion. This probably occurred through the influence of Dun, who in the matter of Dr. Crosby, already detailed, and in other things, took a more liberal view than was common in his day. c This custom is described at length in the College Journal of 9th July, 1816.

In the charter of King Charles the II., by which the Irish College of Physicians was incorporated, we find fourteen Fellows appointed. The first name in this roll is “ Johannes Stearne he was the Founder of the College ; and, as such, his memory deserves special notice and respect. Excepting a short and meagre account of him, in Sir James Ware’s Writers of Ireland (Harris’s edition, p. 159), his existence seems to have been all but forgotten until Dr. Aquilla Smith, sometime Vice-President of the College, and now King’s Professor of Materia Medica and Pharmacy, rescued it from oblivion. This he did in an essay published in The Dublin Journal of Medical Science (Vol. XIX., p. 81), entitled “ Some Account of the Origin and Early History of the College of Physicians in Ireland.” The chief sources from which I have derived the information contained in this memoir are the essay of Professor Aquilla Smith already noted, the published writings of Dr. Stearne himself, and a book which I shall quote as Barrett's MSS. This last consists of extracts from the Archives of Trinity College, Dublin, with Historical Comments on the same, by the late eccentric Vice-Provost Barrett. a That learned Irish divine and scholar the Rev. Dr. Todd kindly gave me the use of a copy of Dr. Barrett’s work, transcribed by himself ; and to him, and to Dr. A. Smith, I am also indebted for verbal information and other assistance in compiling this memoir. I am also indebted for much valuable and accurate information to Sir Bernard Burke, Ulster King of Arms, and the reader will perceive that I have consulted the records of the College of Physicians. a His biography has yet to be written. See a memoir of him in The Dublin University Magazine for 1841 ; and a psychological notice of him in a paper of mine entitled, A Short Biographical Notice of a Remarkable Case of Insanity. — Dublin Quarterly Journal of Medical Science, February, 1864. B 10 DR. STEARNE’S BIRTH, FAMILY, AND EARLY LIFE. John Stearne was born on the 26th of November, 1624, at Ardbraccan, in the County of Meath, in the house of the then bishop of that diocese, who was his grand-uncle, and whose name has descended to posterity as “ Archbishop Ussher.” His family, he himself tells us, was of English origin ; and amongst eminent members of the same stock I may mention Richard Sterne, Archbishop of York, who died in 1683, aged 87 years; and Laurence Stearne, better known to fame as the author of Tristram Shandy , The Sentimental Journey , and other works. It is stated that although Archbishop Sterne was born in Nottinghamshire, yet he was descended from a Suffolk family ; a and from this same family, members of which were now settled in various English counties, John Stearne was likewise descended. b According to Mr. Percy Fitzgerald ( Life of Laurence Sterne ) his father was John Stearne, of Stapleford, County Cambridge ; and he came to Ireland as “ officer ” to Theophilus Buck worth, Bishop of Dromore, who died in 1652. This John Stearne became John Stearne, Esq., of Greenane, County Down, and married Mabel Bermingham, of Ballogh, Co. Dublin, granddaughter of Arnold (or Arland) Ussher, one of the six clerks in Chancery, father to the celebrated primate. 0 Thus, the subject of this memoir was grand-nephew to Primate James Ussher, and great grand-nephew to Primate Henry Ussher, the first Fellow of T.C.D., nominated in the charter of Queen Elizabeth. He was also great great grandson to James Stanihurst, who was Speaker of the Irish House of Commons, in the reigns of Queens Mary and Elizabeth, in a See Sterne Richard, in Chalmers’ Biographical Dictionary. Lond., 1812-17. b Information from Rev. Dr. Todd. See also the Life of Laurence Sterne, by Percy Fitzgerald, M.A., M.R.I.A. Two vols. London. 1864. c For some of this information I am indebted to my learned friend Richard Caulfield, Esq., B.A., F.S.A., Librarian to the Royal Cork Institution. The pedigree of the Stearnes, of which more hereafter (p. 448), he obtained for me from Thomas Tuckey, Esq., of Cork, a collateral descendant through Timothy Tuckey, M.D., whose weather tables are given in Smith’s History of Cork (1750), Vol. ii. p. 398. Dr. Tuckey was nephew to Major-Gen. Stearne, who was son to Capt. Stearne, John’s eldest brother. The following is part of Archbishop Ussher’s genealogy, drawn up by Sir William Betham, and inserted in Elrington’s Life and Works of Ussher : — John Ussher, oh. s. p.

Eliza- beth. only child, Wife of Sir Timothy Tyrrell, Bart. 11 which latter reign he made the first motion for founding a college and university in Dublin. a Having been liberally brought up and educated, he was sent to T.C.D. ; b and, in the Barrett MSS., among “ Remarkable Admissions,” from 1638 to 1644, I find the following entry : — “ 22nd May, 1639, Johs., do. [son] of John Stearne, Co. Meath, [aged] 15.” Having entered college at this early age, the next circumstance I find recorded respecting him is his election to a scholarship, which should have occurred on Trinity Monday, 1641 (Barrett — infra). At that time, by order of Parliament, the provost was prohibited from holding any elections to fellowships or scholarships ; yet, it seems that Stearne was subsequently acknowledged to have obtained a scholarship in 1641, for Dr. Barrett states (p. 282), that he “ was afterwards allowed as such.” HIS RESIDENCE IN ENGLAND, RETURN THEREFROM, POLITICAL POSITION, ETC. Not long after the breaking out of the Irish rebellion, his studies in T.C.D. were disturbed ; they soon came to an abrupt termination, and, to save his life, he fled to England. From his grand-uncle, Archbishop Ussher, he received a commendation to Samuel Ward, D.D., then master of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, with whom the Archbishop had long maintained an epistolary correspondence. Proceeding to that university he became an alumnus of Dr. Ward’s College, then a place of resort for students in medicine, 0 as Gonville and Caius College is at the present day ; and, while there, he appears to have devoted himself specially to the study of medicine. During his residence in Cambridge, which, probably, commenced in 1643, he collected materials for his Animi Medela ; and he describes his abode there as, at first, one of peculiar felicity and quiet. Acknowledging his obligations to the patronage of Dr. Ward, and of his successor, Richard Minshull, D.D., as also to the kindness of the fellows, he avows his unwillingness to change his lot for the riches of the King of the Persians. This state of things did not last ; for, after lamentably comparing his short-lived felicity to the evanescence of Jonah’s gourd, he observes (address “ ad Lectorem,” before noted), u quietdmque illam, quam ego cum Regis Persarum divitiis permutatam aliquando nolebam ; nova et insperata excepit tempestas.” This “ nova et insperata tempestas,” was evidently a Bernard’s Life of Archbishop James Ussher. London. 1656. b Vix dum ex ephebis egressum Collegium Sanctse et Indiv. Trinitatis quod est propter Dublinium, sola ilia et celeberrima Hiberniae Academia alumnum Suscepit. — (Address “ad Lectorem” above noted.) c Information from Rev. Dr. Todd. B 2 12 the visitation of the university, in 1643, by the Parliamentary Commis- sioners, who, coming down on Sidney Sussex College, imprisoned Dr, Ward, and treated him so rigorously that he contracted some disease, of which he died, in great want, September 7th, 1643, six weeks after his enlargement. During the mastership of Dr. Minshull, who im- mediately succeeded Ward, Stearne remained for a considerable time at his college, notwithstanding the chronic state of the “ tempestas.” “ Qua- cumque (as he quaintly remarks) diu multumque conflictatus.” He probably remained at least seven years in Cambridge, which, he informs us, he left for Oxford, where it seems many learned strangers were then residing. Here he was most kindly received by Seth Ward, Fellow of Wadham College, who was made Savilian Professor of Astro- nomy in 1649, and who was incorporated at the same time. Seth Ward had been a Fellow of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, which he had to leave on the death of his namesake, and had known Stearne there. He had now, however, found friends among the ruling powers ; and Stearne, though he remained but a short time at Oxford, doubtless profited by his acquaintance with his friend the Savilian Professor. Before he went to Cambridge" 1 he evidently had been elected a Fellow of T.C.D. ; for Dr. Barrett states he was ejected from his fellowship by the Rump party ; but, in October 1651, on his return from Bedfordshire, he was restored by order of Henry Cromwell, “ to whose party he adhered.” b This statement of Dr. Barrett may be accepted as correct, notwithstanding the absence of any record of an election to a fellowship about that time. I have already noticed the prohibition of college elections in 1641, and this is noted in the Commons ’ Journal (Vol. I., p. 415). On the authority of Carte’s Ormond (Yol. I., p. 147 -8) the editor of the Dublin University Calendar (see list of fellows, 1641) observes : — “The reason of this is said to have been, that certain members of the college refused to give evidence or information of alleged mal-practices in the college during Lord Strafford’s administration, conceiving themselves prohibited by Cap. XI. of the statutes.” From the published roll of fellows it would appear that the Parliamentary prohibition continued until 1 644, when the next elections took place. At this time Stearne was in Cambridge, reaping the fruit of a The following dedication (dated 1657) is prefixed to his Animi Medela : — “ Almae Matri Cantabrigiae Academiarum longb celeberrimae, hanc suam qualis qualis est Animi Medelam. In Summae gratitudinis testimonium, maxim aeqfie observantiae monumentum, ob factum, quum in Angliam quasi extorris appulisset, humanissim^que exceptus esset, literarum otium, offert, ejusdemq, censurae irrefragibili submittit Johannes Stearne nuper Collegii Sidneiani in e&dem Academia alumnus.” b See note of Barrett’s conversation with Monck Mason (History of S. Patrick’s Cathedral, p. 220). Sir James Ware also says he became a fellow, and was ejected by the usurpers. 13 his acquaintance with the two Wards ; a so, assuming the correctness of Dr. Barrett’s statement, I conclude that about 1643 he was appointed, but not legally elected, a fellow ; and, as in the scholarship case, u after- wards allowed as such.” His continued absence would account for his not having been legally inducted in 1644. b That he should have left Ireland, and remained away, at this juncture can scarcely be wondered at, if we place any confidence in his account of the then existing state of things. Speaking of the sad events of 1641, he remarks: — “ Supervenit Conjuratio Hibernorum Aboriginum, post homines natos atrocissima: et qua ad&o soevitum est, ut nulla regionis sylva, nullus saltus, non aut sanguine stagnabat aut scatebat ossibus.” — (Address “ad Lectorem” in Animi Medela .) Stearne was evidently not a strong party politician, while he was sufficient of a philosopher to try and make the best of everything. When things were at the worst with him they began to mend ; until, as Dr. Barrett states, we find him re-instated in T.C.D., in 1651. His name appears signed as Registrar on September 3rd, 1652; he was Senior Proctor in 1654; while Dr. Barrett has this extract from the admissions in the Senior Lecturer’s book : — “ Dr. Stearne, 20 June, 1652; May 20, 1658; final, April 23, 1669.” On November 24th 1656, Stearne was elected Hebrew Lecturer, a post for which it appears he was peculiarly well fitted. In the instru- ment confirming this election, 0 the senior fellows assign to the lecturer a certain stipend, which it seems they were shabby enough to dispute about afterwards. Stearne, feeling dissatisfied, probably complained to Henry Cromwell, then Chancellor of the University, who addressed the following letter in his favour ( Barrett's MSS., p. 286) - HENRY CROMWELL TO THE BOARD OF T.C.D. “ To the worshipfull the Provost and Senior Fellows of Trim Coll., near Dublin. “ Gentlemen — After a perusal of an Instrument whereby you have elected Dr. John Stearne to be Hebrew Lecturer, and endowed the Lecture, I have ratified and confirmed the same, both approving of your care for the preservation of the Hebrew Language, and likewise commending your a Samuel Ward was an eminent divine, and was, with Bishops Hall and Carleton, sent to the Synod of Port by King James I. Seth Ward, a pupil but no relative of the former, was afterwards Bishop of Salisbury. See their lives in Chalmers’ Biographical Dictionary. b “ At this period (1600) it appears to have been the practice to appoint masters of arts lecturers, who assumed by degrees the name and privilege of fellows.” Yol. i. Ussher’s Life, by Elrington. See also Rev. Dr. Todd’s Introduction to Dublin University Calendar, 1833. c Barrett’s MSS., p. 284. 14 choice of a Lecturer. And whereas by the tenor of the said Instrument Dr. Stearne is to be paid from the 20th November, 1657, I do desire that he receive his salary for the said office from the said time. For although he hath not as yet executed the said place because the election and endowment was not ratified yet considering how Small the Salary is, a and the Charges that Dr. Stearne must be at to furnish himself with Books for the due execution of the said place, during his natural life, I judge it very reasonable and fitting the commencement of the payment of his salary be from the 20th Nov., 1657, as you have by your instrument ordered. I rest your loving friend, Henry Cromwell. Dated 20th June, 1659.” Notwithstanding this very civil letter, Provost Winter and the senior fellows passed a resolution refusing Stearne’s demand, which was for £45, and votingh im £20 instead. This did not please him, so the next entry is — “ Memorandum, that Dr. John Stearne, M.D., resigned his fellowship. Nov. 17, 1659.” b It must not be thought that Stearne resigned his fellowship simply because of a quarrel about £25. His far-seeing prudence did not desert him at this juncture ; he saw that the fortune of Cromwell’s family was now reversed ; for Richard, having dissolved his Parliament by the advice of the officers of his army, these very men re-instated the Rump Parlia- ment, whose first act was to cashier Richard and recall Henry from Ireland. When he saw the republicans disunited he could not fail to look forward, as many others did, to the all but certainty of the restoration of the monarchy ; and (as Dr. Barrett remarks) u reflecting that in such case his appointment to a fellowship, being unstatutable as made by usurpers, would be deemed illegal, and probably incensed at the conduct of Winter and the Fellows, did prudently resign his fellowship.” DR. stearne’s DEGREES, HIS MEDICAL PRACTICE, ETC. The periods at which he obtained his various degrees are involved in obscurity. The earliest record of any degree of his is in the MS. roll of Dublin Graduates, commenced some years ago by the Rev. Dr. Todd. In this roll he is simply called M.D., 1658 ; meaning, as I apprehend, that in 1658 he was M.D., but not that he obtained the degree in that year. I think this because, as will presently appear, in 1655 he practised physic in Dublin; and in 1654 was President of the Fraternity of Physicians in Trinity Hall, of which more hereafter. In his various works he styles himself M. & J.U.D. (Medicinae, et Juris Utriusque, Doctor), and occasionally M.D. only; and as the published a The stipend in question was £30 per annum. b Monck Mason (Hist, of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, p. 220) says “he married and resigned his fellowship.” 15 roll, Graduati Canlabrigienses , only begins in 1660, nothing can be found of him in it. I suppose that he was incorporated B. A. at Sydney College, Cambridge ; proceeded M.A., M.B., and M.D., at that university ; was admitted ad eundem in Dublin, where he commenced practice on his return from Cambridge ; and took the Bachelor’s and Doctor’s degrees in Laws on his appointment to the Public Professorship of that faculty in 1660. In order to understand the various titles by which he is designated in his published works, it may be well to make a few explanatory remarks. He is styled “Medicinae Doctor et Publicus Professor;” “M. & J.U.D. “ Medicinae et Philosophise Professor Doctissimus “ M. & J.U. Professor.” At that time the term Professor was understood in two senses : — as synonymous with Doctor, of which it is still the proper academic Latin equivalent ( e.g . S T.P., Anglice D.D.) ; and as designating a man who was qualified by competent authority to teach any particular branch of knowledge. The Public Professor was the university officer in the modern English sense of the term, and corresponded with the “ Professor Ordinarius” of the foreign universities. 3. The “ Professor Extra- ordinarius ” of these universities was the same as the Private Professor, or licensed teacher, and was somewhat like our resident masters or superior grinders — Anglice u coaches.” Thus a man like Stearne, having a forensic taste, would have been made Public Professor of Laws, and afterwards he might change it for a'* Public Professorship of Medicine. He was Public Professor of Medicine anterior to his appointment to the Hebrew Lectureship ; for, in the instrument announcing his election to Henry Cromwell, he is styled “ Medicinae Doctorem et Professorem Publicum.” There were then but two lay Fellows in T.C.D. One, the Civilian or Jurista, in right af his office was Public Professor of Laws, and the other, Medicus, was Public Professor of Medicine in like manner. In BedelVs Statutes (Cap. XVII.) these fellows are styled “Professores Jurisprudent^ et Medicinse;” but in the latter case, with two excep- tions, the offices of Medicus and Public Professor of Medicine have not been held by the same individual since 1660. b During this time Stearne enjoyed extensive practice, which he seems to have obtained easily enough ; for in three years and a-half from his return to Dublin he had sufficient influence with Provost Winter and the Board to obtain the following favour : — “We, the Provost and Senior Fellows of T.C., near Dublin, at the request of John Stearne, Senr. Fellow of the said College, do, for and in a One of Stearne’s works (Manuductio) refers to the opinions of Adrian Heereboord, of Leyden, “ Philosophise Professoris Ordinarii.” b These two exceptions were Stearne himself, and Richard Helsham, M.D., appointed Professor of Physic in 1733.

COLLEGIATE SYSTEM IN THE UNIVERSITY AT THIS TIME TRINITY HALL. The earlier Provosts of T.C.D. were mostly Cambridge men ; and, through their influence, various attempts were made to introduce into Dublin the English system of many colleges in one university. On Feb. 19, 16§^, two buildings, called in the language of the day “mass houses,” in Bridge-street were given by the Lords Justices to T.C.D. for this purpose. Each was constituted a Hall in the university, aud had a master and scholars ( Barrett MSS., 188) ; but some time after they were given up as collegiate institutions, for want of funds. In Back-lane was another building of the same kind, of which Borlace, an Irish physician, who practised at Chester, copying from Fuller’s Church History , thus writes : — “ For many years the University was confined to this Colledge [T.C.D.] ; since, it hath been enlarged by some adjacent Tenements, whereof (of late) one is converted to a Colledge of Physitians, graced by his Majesty with many Priviledges, and the Mass House in Back-lane, a fair Collegiate building, was disposed of to the University of Dublin, a Rector and Scholers being placed in it in the time of Chancellor Loftus and the Earl of Corkes being Lords Justices ; but whether it so continues I am not certain. I hear it is alienated.” a — (P. 164). This hall or college in Back-lane was also given up for want of funds, and the organ in it was transferred to T.C.D., where it still stands in the gallery of the theatre (information from Rev. Dr. Todd). Trinity Hall, mentioned by Borlace, did not .so soon sink into oblivion. It stood in the centre of Trinity -place, off Dame-lane, where a quadrangular set of buildings on part of the same site still exists, and was originally built for a bridewell ; but the design of its erection falling through, as described by Dr. A. Smith ( Early History of the College of Physicians in Ireland), it came into the possession of T.C.D. in 1616. b From that time until 1641 it was properly kept up, but in the general a This house was afterwards a military hospital, and “ Tailor’s Hall ” now stands on its site. — Census of Ireland for 1851, Report and Status of Disease, p. 91. b A copy of the lease or assignment of Trin. Hall to T.C.D., is on p. 236, of the oldest book now among the Coll. Records. This book is bound in vellum, and marked on the cover “11 Very Old Accounts.” Inside is written “Thomas D’Olin, Gene- rosus Dono dedit hunc librum in usum fraternitatis Anise Trinitatis, die 14 t0 Julii, 1664.” It contains the Coll, accounts to 1705, besides records of elections to offices and fellowships. 17 confusion of the civil war was much neglected ; and, having been forsaken by the students, “ was by poor people occupied, and in a manner ruinated, ” a About the year 1654 the corporation threatened to resume possession of the hall, which they had power to do in case it should cease to be used for college purposes, but Dr. Stearne, who was evidently a public man of note at this time, proposed to the Provost and Fellows that he should be constituted President of Trinity Hall for life, and be allowed to lodge there on condition ( inter alia) of repairing it at his own cost, and converting all of it, save his own lodgings, to the use of physicians. By this arrangement T.C.D. had the appointment of the President of Trinity Hall, and the persons accommodated there were styled “The President and Fraternity of Physicians.” During the ensuing six years Trinity Hall remained in statu quo , nor do I find that any steps were taken during this interval to accomplish the avowed object of Dr. Stearne and his fraternity, viz., the incorpora- tion of a College of Physicians in the University of Dublin. b — (See Barr etC s MSS., p. 65). This idea had existed before Stearne’s time, and the usefulness of the project was occasionally discussed, not only as a professional matter, but as an educational one which very much concerned the interests of the university. In 1628 Provost Bedell c wrote a letter from London to Archbishop Ussher ( Parr's Life of Ussher , p. 387), in which he observed : — “ At my being in Dublin, there came to me one Dr. De Laune, a Physician bred in Emanuel College : Who in speech to me discovered their purpose to procure a patent like to that which the College of Physicians hath in London. I noted the thing, and partly by that occasion, and partly also the desire of the Fellows to extend their time of stay in the College. d I have drawn a plot of my thoughts in that behalf, which I send your Grace herewith.” In another letter written in 1628 to the same prelate, Provost Bedell says : — “ I suppose it hath been an error all this while to neglect the faculties of Law and Physic, and attend only to the ordering of one poor College of Divines ; whereas with a little more labour and a few privileges attained, a great many more good wits might have been allured to study.” — {Op. supr. cit ., p. 391.) a Barrett’s MSS., p. 65. b In Taylor’s History of the University of Dublin (Lond., 1845), opposite to the title page is an engraving of the old-fashioned gown of an M.A., or Fellow of T.C.D.

He first procured the Old Testament to be translated into Irish. See his life by Bp. Burnet. 0 Fellowships were then only tenable for a term of years. 18 The obvious meaning of these remarks is, that Bedell, seeing that while degrees in all faculties were granted by the university, the education of theological students was only attended to, conceived the idea of separate colleges for the other faculties. In these colleges the students would have tuition in arts, and also professional teaching. On the medical side of this question, Dr. De Laune was evidently a leading man, and from what follows it will appear that the project which Stearne carried out successfully was originated by the other. Dr. De Laune was elected a fellow of the London College of Physi- cians in 1618, one year after its re-incorporation by King James I., and was physician to the Lord Deputy of Ireland at the time of his interview with Bedell. It was evidently by his exertions that King Charles I., on the recommendation of the Lord Deputy, Yiscount Falkland, issued a royal letter for the incorporation of a college of physicians. This design was probably frustrated by the return of Dr. De Laune to London, and his permanent abode there for many years after 1642, when he was appointed an “ Elect” in the London College.* 1 The civil war further prevented Stearne or any one else from obtaining the charter. Stearne doubtless had before him the letter of King Charles I. This document, the earliest I have heard of respecting the College of Physi- cians, is copied into one of the existing volumes of its records. This volume I shall quote as Sir Patrick DurHs Book ; it is described on the cover as “ Colledge of Physicians, 1693,” and inside is this inscription: “ The guift of Dr. Patrick Dunn (First President) to the King and Queen’s College of Physicians in Ireland.” The royal letter b runs thus : — KING CHARLES THE FIRST’S LETTER. “ Charles Bex, “ Bight trusty and wel-beloved Cossen and Councello r , Wee greete you well. “ The Zeale which our late deare Father of blessed memory hath always had to reduce that our kingdom of Ireland to Civility and to an uniforme manner of GovernmL with this our Bealme of England, whereby the same may Flourish to the glory of God, our honour, and the benefitt and comfort of all our Subjects and Inhabitants is not unknowne nor can be hidden from so many as have observed the Sundry Alterations tending to that perfection to which the same hath attained since the beginning of our said father’s Beigne.

STEARNE’s POSITION AT THE RESTORATION. On the restoration of the monarchy in 1660 none of the fellows then in possession at T.C.D. were found to have any statutable position, and accordingly, by a King’s letter dated Whitehall, 29th December 1660, several nominations were made to the vacant fellowships. If the high party spirit of those times be taken into account, it must be concluded that Stearne had all along played his part well, for with Joshua Cowley, Richard Lyngard, Patrick Sheridan, and William Vincent, he was appointed a senior fellow by the King’s letter above mentioned, and immediately after was elected Public Professor of Laws. He also, being a married man, obtained a dispensation from the statutes respecting the celibacy of fellows. — (See University Calendar , and Taylor's History of the University of Dublin .) — He married in 1659, a Dorothy, daughter of Charles Ryves, Esq., and she survived liim. b DR. STEARNE’s SON JOHN. He had an only son, who afterwards attained to great eminence ; he was born in 1660, and his name was John. He was the predecessor of Swift in the Deanery of St. Patrick’s, from which he was promoted to the See of Dromore, and finally, in 1717, to that of Clogher. He was elected Vice- Chancellor of the University in 1721, founded and endowed the Univer- sity Printing House in 1734, c and died unmarried 6th June 1745, leaving a Monck Mason’s Hist, of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, p. 229. b Annexed to his posthumous work “De Obstinatione” is an Elegy on him by Robert Maxwell, Bishop of Kilmore. In this she is named as surviving him. She was alive in 1677 ; for under the date October 24, in that year, among “ Recepta Dris. Crosby [Registrarii] durante sus ministerio,” I find the following entry in D’Olins Booh (already described in a note as “11 very old accounts”) “ De vidua Sterne pro reditu semi annuo domus hujusce [Trin.

On February 18, 166^, Dr. Stearne renewed his former proposal to the Board in the following terms : — “ 1. That Trinity Hall, with the land thereunto belonging, may be set apart in perpetuum for the advancement of the study of physic in Ireland. “ 2. That in Pursuance of the said design, John Stearne be constituted President of the said Hall for and during his natural life. u 3. That the nomination of a President of the said Hall upon Vacancy be always in the Provost and Senior Fellows aforesaid and their Suc- cessors. a See acknowledgements of money received from this source in the Annual Reports of St. Mark’s Ophthalmic Hospital.

That the said John Stearne may accommodate himself with gar- dening upon the ground belonging to the said Hall, and with Chambers out of the present building, or out of such as shall hereafter be raised upon the ground unto the said Hall appertaining. “ 5. That the President of the said Hall shall call into a fraternity able Physicians, who, together with him, are desired to endeavour to advance moneys for additional buildings to the said Hall, and to procure a Charter for to be a body corporate with privileges. “6. That all students of physic in the said Hall shall, until the Presi- dent of the said Hall and the fraternity thereof be made a body corporate by Charter, be bound to come to prayers in Trinity College aforesaid, and to perform Exercises there, according to their several capacities. “ 7. That the President and fraternity shall, if demanded, meet to consult upon the best means for the recovery of the Provost and Senior Fellows aforesaid, or their Successors, whenever any of them shall happen to be sick. u 8. That no students be admitted into the said Hall, but such as are first admitted or incorporated into Trinity College aforesaid. — John Stearne.” — (Barrett’s MSS., p. 68.) These proposals were approved of by the board, and a legal instrument according to the tenor of them, was duly executed on 22nd February, 166^. This was soon cancelled, probably because of some informality, and a new deed was sealed and signed 22nd April, 1661. On the 19th March, 166^, the board decreed, on account of Stearne’s practice of physic, and the remoteness of Trinity Hall from Trinity College, Dublin, that “ he shall not be penally obliged to be present at Coll: prayers, unless he be thereunto specially required, and that he receive his Commons in money.” a Under the date 1662, June 3, Dr. Barrett writes : — “ Dr. John Stearne constituted and elected Public Professor of Medicine in the University of Dublin for and during his natural life, he was sworn by the Vice- Chancellor June 4th.” Stearne having accomplished his purpose respecting Trinity Hall, now set himself to procure the charter. Here, however, he met with delay ; but at last, on the 8th of August, 1667, the physicians received the long promised letters patent. This charter has never yet been published either in English or in Latin ; and as it is a document of considerable importance, and withal is com- paratively short, I shall here set it dow r n as copied from “ Sir Patrick Dun’s Book,” p. 27. The original is not in the possession of the College, having been surrendered previous to obtaining the Charter of William and Mary in 1692.

He discourses of the various modes of treating corpses (burning, conservatio inartificialis, artificialis, &c.) and argues the ques- tion — does a body grow heavier by death ? He treats of the way of attaining long life, and to this end lauds drinking cold water, taking cold baths, and living in cold climates, as well as inhaling the smell of freshly dug pure earth (odor terrm puree recens effossse). 3, As one proof that cold and moisture conduce to long life, he says, “ Qusecunque refrigerando, calidum nostrum castigant & temperant, eadem humidum reddunt minus dissipabile. Sanguis Ele- phanti, qui nonnunquam annum ducentesimura complet, est omnium maximb frigidus. ,, For the same purpose he strongly recommends nitre, ptisans of pearl barley, crocus, “ ambra grysea,” opium, and tobacco. He quotes Daniel Sennertus to show that the Indians travelled through the deserts without food or drink, or loss of power, subsisting for three or four days by constantly sucking lozenges made of tobacco leaves and pounded river shells (conchylia qusedam coehlearum flu viat ilium). The work No. 3 in the preceding list consists of a series of extracts from the works of Adrian Heereboord, Ordinary Professor of Philosophy at Leyden, with a criticism on each. The matter is what I should term Christ iano- Philosophical rather than Theological, and Stearne dedicates it “Johanni Rawlino” — “Ex Aula Trinitatis Id. Septemb. An. Dom. 1660.” His “ Aphorismi de Foelicitate” are dedicated to the celebrated Viceroy James Duke of Ormond, at that time (1664) Chancellor of the Univer- sity, and are followed by ten eulogistic verses on the author by John Maxwell, by the customary address “ Lectori Salutem,” and by fourteen eulogistic verses from the pen of his steadfast friend “ Rob. Kilmorensis.” In the first section there are discourses on twenty-two aphorisms, of which the following may be taken as fair specimens : — “ 3. Est in ho- minis potestate foelicitatem adipisci & miseriam devitare, 16 ubi frus- trationis periculum, ibi metus. 17 ubi metus, ibi non est foelicitas.” In section ii. there are twenty-three aphorisms, e.g .: — “ 2. Habenda est ratio valetudinis, voluptatem corporearum, vestitus & domus. 9. Ar- cana non sunt revelenda. 14. Cui pecuniam mutuemus, cavendum.” 21. Multitudinis cedendum. 22. Tempori serviendum. On 14 he remarks, that oftentimes along with the money one loses the friend, and a Dr. Stokes tells me that, to his knowledge, this opinion long prevailed in the West of Ireland, where invalids followed the plough as it turned up the soil. 36 on 21, calling the multitude a beast of many heads (“ belluam multorum capitum”), he advises against following it or contending with it, that it is safer to yield to it than to fight against it, that if it be hurt, its power will overwhelm the opposer, while if it be yielded to, “ ut omnia violenta, paulatim impetus consumitur & exolescit” (p. 138). In section iii., which contains 9 aphorisms, he urges that men are more frequently moved by lesser than by greater evils ; that one who is accustomed to the greater will less mind the lesser, and that it is useful to become accustomed to the greater evils. There are nine aphorisms in the fourth and last section ; but from his ideas of the “vox populi” and of time service (22 and 21, sec. ii.) it is plain that he knew how to keep well with all parties, and his success in life shows that he did so. His work “ De Obstinatione” was completed shortly before his death, and was edited at his request by Henry Dodwell, who had been his pupil, and who appears to have largely shared in his literary tastes, and in his religious and philosophical opinions. The Dedication is remarkable, and runs thus : — “ Yiris consultissimis : Praeposito, Sociis et Scholaribus Collegii Sanctas & Individuae Trinitatis Juxta Dublin. Necnon, Sociis Collegii Medicorum, Johannes Stearne, Prioris Collegii Socius Senior, Proeses Posterioris, Hasce lucubrationes, quales quales sint, jure, meri- toque dicat, consecratque.” As this, his last, and in many respects his most remarkable work, is dedicated to the College of Physicians, I shall give somewhat more than a passing notice of it, premising that there is prefixed to it an elegy of thirty-four verses on Stearne’s death, by his life-long friend Bishop Maxwell, who survived him but a short time. a This is too long to quote at length, but there are in it these lines addressed to Mrs. Stearne : — u Sed tibi continget nunquam Dorothaea Maritus Qualis erat donee Sternius ille fuit. Sternia, quicquid erit, monitis decede mariti, Ne videare tuo bis viduata viro.” Whether by this very personal address (as we should now call it) Mrs. Stearne was recommended to marry again or not to do so, I leave the reader to determine. The treatise “ De Obstinatione” I conceive to be Stearne’s exposition of what he calls the “ Christiano-Stoic Philosophy,” and the term obstinatio is to be interpreted to mean — Firmness not sinking under adversities, as expressed in Greek by anddeia, eua-rddeia, ai'afjLapTrjaia. He died 16 Nov., 1672. See Cotton’s Fasti, &c. (Bishops of Kilmore). 37 This was the first work published by Dodwell, a who, on reading the MS. after Stearne’s death, discovered something therein which he thought might be construed to his master’s disadvantage. Accordingly he prefixed to it his “ Prolegomena,” in which he premises that what Stearne urged on heathen recommendation were moral duties, and not Arcana Coeli — mysteries of Christianity — which are only known to us by revelation. He proceeds to argue that in other things which concern our practice reason is to be regarded, even where God has superadded a revelation ; that in the examination of natural reasoning the authority of the great assertors and indicators of reason challenge our regard ; that consequently the philosophers demand our respect ; and, having taken up a number of other points of natural theology, he urges that certain phrases in Holy Scripture must be understood in the sense in which they were received by the writers of that age with whom the Hellenists conversed. He shows that when Stearne recommended the sentiments of the Stoics he thereby meant those, not of the ancient Stoical sect, nor of a sect in the Christian Church, but the opinions of the later Stoics, e.g ., Seneca, Epictetus, and Antoninus ; and that the Christian Church never con- demned these, but rather approved them. The later Stoics did not deny Providence, nor maintain fatality, nor doubt the soul’s immortality or a future state. They had much regard to reason and its dictates, and chiefly employed themselves in teaching men to lead virtuous lives, and hence were esteemed among Christians. He apologizes for the severity of some of Stearne’s maxims, which he explains, and vindicates his doctrine of Firmness (obstinatio) from the charges of Pelagianism and Novatianism. This work of Stearne’s gives a deep insight into his character, and is valuable chiefly for this reason. His treatise “ De Electione & Reprobatione,” though more or less a Henry Dodwell (see his life by Fras. Brokesley, 1715, also Ware’s Writers, and Wood’s Athense, Oxon.) was educated in T.C.D., of which he became a Fellow in 1662. Unwilling to take Holy Orders, he resigned his Fellowship in 1666, and retired to England. In 1688 he was elected Camden Professor of History at Oxford, but, being a non-juror, resigned shortly after the revolution. He died at Shottesbrooke, in 1714, having been through life held in high esteem for his learning and piety, and par- ticularly for his qualities as a Theologian and a Philosopher. He was a very voluminous writer, and when a Fellow of T.C.D. was celebrated as a preacher of “ Common- places” (Communes Loci) in the College Chapel. This practice, not very long disused, was then highly valued. Every resident M.A , whether clerk or layman, was required, in his turn, to deliver short sermons (ad modum Theologicae Concionis) on Friday and Sunday Evenings. Nor was the lay practice confined to the college ; it was at one time common in Christ Church Cathedral, where Stearne’s distinguished grand-uncle first acquired fame as & licensed lay preacher. The Kev. Dr. Carson, F.T.C.D., tells me that he himself discharged this duty when a layman ; and that its disuse arose from its practical inconvenience in the present day. “ Common -places” could not exceed half an hour in length. — See Caroline Statutes of T.C.D,, cap. xvi. 38 metaphysical, is virtually a theological treatise ; and his opinion on this question (which is in keeping with his Christiano-stoic system) may be known from the title of cap. iv., “ iEternum & respectivum Dei decre- tum (quod etiam absolutum est, ut absolutum conditionato opponitur), de aliis salvandis, & aliis damnandis impugnatur.” The preceding is followed by his u Manuductio ad vitam probam,” a tractate consisting of twenty-nine essays (in the Baconian sense of the term), and the two, bound in one volume, are dedicated to James Duke of Ormond, and have, added or prefixed, letters from John Leslie, Bishop of Clogher; Jeremy Taylor, Bishop of Down ; as also verses from “ Rob. Kilmorensis,” and “ Gu. Hill, S.T.D.” DR. STE ARNE’s CHARACTER. The following summary of his character is given in Ware's Writers (p. 159) : — “ He was a very learned man, and was more fond of the study of Divinity than that of his own profession, in which, nevertheless, he had great knowledge.’ ’ After a careful consideration of his writings, and of the spirit of the times in which he lived, I am persuaded that this statement should be received with considerable qualification. In his day it was not customary for physicians, even when at the top of the professional tree, as we have seen he was, to write medical treatises. They studied and observed much, but wrote little ; and what they did write concerning their own profession was frequently on points not con- nected with practice, and was more generally addressed to literati than to physicians. Much of this undoubtedly proceeded from their firm belief in the infallibility of Hippocrates, and from the confidence then generally reposed in the teachings of the old physicians. Such a persua- sion, of course, rendered constant medical discovery of less importance than we are wont to attach to it, and one page of a medical publisher’s catalogue of 1864 will be found to contain the advertisements of more books, and, it must be admitted, of more empty pretension and ignorance, than could appear in half a century of the time in which Stearne lived. But it was held not only to be perfectly compatible with earnest and studious attention to the practice of medicine, but to be the proper thing for a learned and successful physician to write on matters extraneous to his profession ; and at that time a large number of physicians all over Europe were much given to philosophical and theological pursuits ; these studies being considered more or less accessory to medicine. a Moreover, the spirit of the age was intensely theological ; theological exercises and a A reference to Hunk’s Roll of the London College of Physicians will justifiy this and the preceding remarks. There were plenty of able Theologians and Philosophers in the medical profession at this time and they were mostly eminent physicians. 39 disputations were essential parts of a University education, and Stearne’s academic position, in which, as shown in the case of Henry Dodwell, he had, at some time in his career, to perform the part of a lay preacher, would naturally tend to foster and encourage a theological taste, sup- ported as it was no doubt by his own known proficiency in the Hebrew language, and his lifelong intimacy with some of the most eminent eccle- siastics of his own time. He was an “ admirable Crichton” in his way, and it may be said of him in well-worn phrase — he touched nothing that he did not adorn. He excelled as a philosopher and physician, and equally so as a theologian, in an intensely theological age. a Presuming his epitaph to have been written by Henry Dodwell, who knew him long and intimately, it may be maintained that with truth the pupil styled the master u Philosophus Medicus Summusque Theologus Idem.” & “ Theology being the favourite study of these times, we shall not be surprised to find the following entry in the registry : — July 23, 1617- — The Lord Deputy, the Lord Chancellor, and the Earl of Arundell were entertained at the College with a theological lecture and disputation. The per- formance of the former was by Dr. Ussher : of the latter by Mr. Martin, Respondent ; Mr. Egerton, and Mr. Donellan, Opponents. The questions were these : — 1. Spiritus Sanctus in Scriptura loquens est solus infallibilis J udex controversiarum. 2. Jejunium Pontificium neque Scripturse neque rationi est consentaneum.” — Barrett’s MSS., p. 151. [In Cap. XVII. of Bedell’s Statutes (quoted by Dr. Barrett) I find the following respecting the theological position of the Medical Fellow : — “ Quod vero ad exercitia attinet requisitse a Theologis durante quovis termino, nolumus ea Professori Juris prudentice aut Medicince remitti: sed ab utroque prsestari, Sive communes loci fuerint sen Theologicse Disputationes.” In Cap. XVIII. of the Caroline Statutes (1637) the ‘•'Jurista” and “ Medicus” were exempted from the performance of common-places, while they were bound to lecture in their respective faculties ; but they were expressly bound to perform “ disputationes et exercitia requisita a Theologis.” — See MacDon- nell’s edition of Statutes of T.C.D., 1848.] REGISTER OF THE KING AND QUEEN’S COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS IN IRELAND, WITH HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION: AND AN APPENDIX CONTAINING, A ROLL OF THE PRESIDENTS AND FELLOWS FROM 1654 TO 1866; AN OBITUARY OF HONORARY FELLOWS, CANDIDATES, LICENTIATES, AND LICENTIATES IN MIDWIFERY, FROM 1692 TO 1866, AND A CATALOGUE OF PICTURES, BUSTS, ETC.

Nomenclature of Degrees, &c.] Shortly after the re-incorporation of the Royal College of Physicians of London, by King Janies I., in 1617, the heads of the Irish Government, and of the profession of physic in Ireland, conceived the idea of founding a College of Physicians in this country, with privileges and immunities similar to those enjoyed by the London College. Accordingly, at the instance of Viscount Falkland, Lord Deputy of Ireland, King Charles I. issued a letter, in 1626, directing the incorporation of a College of Physicians in Dublin, and specifying the privileges and immunities to be provided for in the Royal Charter. From the unsettled state of the times this design was not then carried into effect ; but it was not lost sight of, for Dr. Paul De Laune, a Fellow of the London College and Physician to the Viceroy, used every effort to obtain the Charter, and his efforts only came to a close on his return to London to reside and practise. In 1654 Dr. John Stearne, a Senior Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin, and a Physician in extensive practice in this city, founded a body, called “ The President and Fraternity of Physicians,” at Trinity Hall, behind the south side of Dame-street. This building, ( 8 ) the site of which is now partly occupied by Trinity-place, was a hall in the University, which was given by the Provost and Senior Fellows of Trinity College to Dr. Stearne, “ for the sole and proper use of physicians,” on certain terms — one of which was that the Provost and Fellows should have the appointment of the President. They appointed Dr. Stearne to this office, on the understanding that he should endeavour to obtain a Royal Charter of incorporation. In 1660, on the restoration of the Monarchy, Dr. Stearne renewed his proposals to the newly-appointed Provost and Fellows, who re-appointed him President of Trinity Hall, and placed the Fraternity of Physicians on a legal basis. In 1667 King Charles II. granted the first charter of incorpora- tion to “ The President and Fellows of the College of Physicians in Dublin.” This Charter, while it preserved the terms of contract between the Provost and Fellows of Trinity College and the Fraternity of Physicians, gave the latter the general powers of the London College, and specially entrusted to them the entire control of the practice of physic in Dublin. No person without their license could practise in Dublin, or within seven miles thereof, and the expressed object of the Charter was the extirpation of quackery and empiricism, which it described as then rampant. These powers did not prove sufficient, chiefly because of the small area within which the College could exercise authority. At the request of the College this charter was surrendered 14th Dec., 1692, and William and Mary granted a new Charter, dated 15th Dec., 1692, under which, and under some subsequent alterations made by Acts of Parliament, the College is now governed. In the first Charter fourteen Fellows were nominated ; the first of whom, Dr. Stearne, was appointed President for life, and the next on the list was the celebrated Sir William Petty. In the present Charter the incorporation is styled “ The President and Fellows of the King and Queen’s College of Physicians in Ireland,” and its jurisdiction is considerably extended. Dr. (afterwards Sir) Patrick Dun was mainly instrumental in obtaining the Charter. He was President when it was granted, and was so continueduntil theSt. Luke’s Day next following — on which day, and on its anniversaries, ( 9 ) all College elections of President and other officers were directed to be held.* By this Charter the Fellowships were limited to fourteen ; no one could practise physic in Dublin, or within seven miles thereof, unless he were a Fellow or Licentiate of the College ; nor could any but graduates in physic of Oxford, Cam- bridge, or Dublin, practise in the rest of Ireland, unless licensed by the College. Power was given to summon and admonish Censors or Fellows, “and for cause of evil government, non-residence” without license from the Crown or the College, “ or for misbe- having themselves in their respective places, or any other just or reasonable cause ” “ to expel and remove any of the same Censors or Fellows.”! To the College was also entrusted the entire and absolute supervision of apothecaries, surgeons, and midwives ; the science of chirurgery, as distinguished from the art, was stated to be a part of medicine. J Authority was given to examine and license * At one time the College used to attend St. Luke’s Church in this city, on St. Luke’s Day : “ Ordered , that the Treasurer be directed to pay to Dr. Mitchel three half crowns, to answer the expence of printing the certificates signifying our meeting at St. Luke’s Church. “ Ordered , that the President and the two elder Censors do wait upon Mr. Campbell, and return him the thanks of the College for his excellent sermon, and that he be desired to print it at the expence of this College. “ Ordered , that a piece of plate, not exceeding two guineas, be given to Mr. Campbell for his sermon preached before the College at St. Luke’s Church.” Coll. Journal , 18 th Oct., 1729. This sermon is to be seen in the College Library. It is printed in 4to., and has for its text a passage from St. Luke’s writings : — “ In Him we live, and move, and have our being.” T From the contents of the Appendix it will be seen that these powers have been exercised. + “The Faculty and Science of Physic and Chirurgery” — Charter of 1692, sec. 42. By an Act of Parliament of 1743 (21 Geo. II.), amending some of the provisions of Sir P. Dun’s will, the College appointed three Professors, one of whom was the Professor of “ Surgery and Midwifery.” The first election to this Professorship occurred in October, 1769, when Nathaniel Barry, M.D., of Bheims, was chosen. These Professorships were altered in 1785 by Stat. 25 Geo. III., cap. 42, and again in 1800 by 40 Geo. III., cap. 84, which provides for the endowment of the present three King’s Professors on the foundation of Sir P. Dun, of a Librarian, and, contingently, of a Professor of Midwifery. ( 10 ) in midwifery, and to the President and Censors were entrusted large powers for the suppression of quackery, for the supervision of practisers, the examination of medicines, and inquisition into all matters relating to the profession of Physic within its limits. Many of these powers remain untouched by subsequent legislation. All members of the College were declared exempt from serving on juries, from bearing arms, serving watch or ward, filling any parochial or corporation offices, and from being chosen to the offices of “ constable, scavenger, or any such or the like.” The following modifications have been made in the legal and professional status of the College since 1693. In 1695 the College itself resolved that no person should be elected to a Fellowship unless he were a Doctor in Physic of the University of Dublin. The University, on the other hand, made the College their examining body for medical degrees, and would admit no person thereto unless he had received a testimonium of sufficiency from this College. This agreement existed until 1761, some time before which the University called on the College to examine, for the degree of Bachelor in Physic, Mr. (afterwards Sir) Fielding Ould, a Licentiate in Midwifery of this College. The College — having on the 19th February, 1753, passed a by-law that no practitioner in midwifery should be examined for a degree or a license — refused, on the ground that the candidate was, by his calling, disqualified for obtaining a medical degree. After some time the request was repeated, and on the College continuing to refuse, the University had the candidate examined by their own Professor of Physic and medical lecturers, and gave him the degree of B.M. on 27th January, 1761. On this the College declined to examine in future for the University,* and announced the intention of opening their Fellowships to graduates of other Universities. However, on 14th August in the same year, they ordained that none but Bachelors of Arts of Oxford, Cambridge, or Dublin, should be elected to Fellowships. * In Barrett’s MSS., (See p. 99) and in the College Journal of this period, we have substantially the same account of this academic feud ; while, of course the views of the two bodies respecting it are directly opposed. ( 11 ) By Statute 1 George III., cap. 14 [made perpetual by 30 Geo. III. (1790), cap. 45, sec. 2], commonly called Lucas’s Act, the number of Fellowships was made unlimited, and candidates were required to be “learned and worthy Doctors of Physick.” By Statute 40 Geo. III., cap. 84, commonly called the School of Physic Act, no person could be elected to a Fellowship except he were a Bachelor of Arts, or a Doctor in Physic, of Oxford, Cambridge, or Dublin, unless the number of Fellows should at any time be reduced to six. This enactment was repealed by Statute 25 Victoria, cap. 15, which now empowers the College to elect to a Fellowship “such of its Licentiates as are graduates in Arts, or Doctors in Physic, of any University of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, or of any foreign University ; and also such of its Licentiates — not being graduates in Arts or Doctors in Physic — as under such limitations as to them may seem fit, may appear to the said President and Fellows to merit such distinction” (sec. 3). By Statute 31 George III., cap. 34, commonly called the Apothe- caries’ Act, an Apothecaries’ Hall was founded in this city, and provision made for the Company licensing Apothecaries. Under the same Act the College has the power of re-examining and licensing such persons to practise Pharmacy as (on rejection by the Apothecaries’ Company) may appeal to it. Under the provisions of Lucas’ Act the College obtained the power of annually appointing four of its Fellows to be Inspectors of the shops, warerooms, storehouses, and elaboratories of Apothe- caries, Chymists, and Druggists in Dublin, and within ten miles thereof. Two Assistant-Inspectors were appointed by the Warden and Masters of the Corporation of Apothecaries, or Guild of St Luke, subject to the veto of the College, whose Inspectors might proceed without the Assistants in default of the appointment of the latter. This Clause in Lucas’ Act, with some others hereafter to be mentioned, was a re-enactment of a Statute (9 Geo. II., cap. 10), first made in the year 1735, and frequently renewed after- wards. This provision of Lucas’ Act is still in force, and Inspec- tors of Apothecaries’ Shops were regularly appointed, and acted under it until shortly before the appearance of the British ( 12 ) Pharmacopoeia in 1864. The College then determined on suspending these appointments for the present, but it may at any time resume the exercise of the right. By the first Charter of the Royal College of Surgeons, the art of Chirurgery was legally constituted a profession, and to that body was granted the power of licensing Practitioners in Surgery, and it further obtained authority to give licenses in Midwifery to its own Licentiates, and to them only. By Statute 7 Geo. III., cap. 8, sec. 8, the following privilege was given, and is still continued to Licentiates of this College : — “ And be it enacted by the authority aforesaid, that no person shall be appointed Physician to any County Infirmary* who shall not be examined and certified to be duly qualified under the seal of the King and Queen’s College of Physicians in Ireland.”t By the Medical Act, Statute 21 and 22 Victoria, cap. 90, the power of practising Physic in Ireland was extended to every registered Physician — and, on the other hand, every registered Licentiate of this College was declared to be duly qualified to practice Medicine in any part of Her Majesty’s dominions. By Lucas’ Act the College was empowered to publish a Pharmacopoeia, and all Prescribers and Compounders were required to act accord- ing to its directions. Under the Medical Act, 21 and 22 Vic., cap. 90, the General Medical Council obtained the right to publish the present British Pharmacopoeia , and its successors, but not to supersede the Dublin and London Pharmacopoeias by so doing.J To remedy this defect, the College executed a surrender of the privileges respecting Pharmacopoeias conferred by Lucas’ Act, and the exclusive right of printing and publishing a Pharmacopoeia was transferred to the General Medical Council, by the Statute 25 and 26 Victoria, cap. 91. By Lucas’ Act (sec. 26) arsenical preparations are required * In Ireland. *t Any Licentiate, personally concerned, can have compliance with this Statute enforced by obtaining a Mandamus from the Court of Queen’s Bench. Z The use of the Edinburgh Pharmacopoeia was never obligatory by Statute Law. < 13 ) to be kept distinguished from other medicines, and great safe- guards are given to the public in purchasing the same. By the same Act (sec. 24) each Prescriber is required to “ set down the Quantity or Quantities of all and every Medicine or Ingredient, whether Simple or Compound, which he or they shall prescribe in any Recipe, Formula, or Prescription, in Words at length, and not in Chymical or Numeral Characters, under the Penalty of Forty Shillings for every such omission.” By sec. 25 of the same Act it is provided that each Prescriber “ shall subscribe every such Pre- scription with his Name or Surname, or the Initial Letters of his Name and Surname, with those also of his Profession, whether Physician or Surgeon ; and if a Physician, with the Name, or the Initial Letter of the Name, of the University or Universities of which he is a Doctor or other Graduate in Physick, under the Penalty of forty shillings for every Omission, unless he be a Mem- ber* of the Royal College of Physicians, in which case the Initial Letters of his Name alone may be sufficient.” By Statute 26 Geo. III., cap. 15, a stamp duty of £6 was imposed on the admission of every Fellow; by 39 Geo. III., cap. 5, this duty was * increased to £10; and by 56 Geo. III., cap. 84, it was raised to £20. By 5 & 6 Vic., cap. 82, the Assimilation Stamp Act, by which the provisions of 55 Geo. III., cap. 184, were extended to Ireland ; this duty was further raised to £25, and a duty of £15 was imposed on the admission of every Licentiate. By 22 & 23 Vic., cap. 36, the latter duty was remitted, but that on the Fellowship still continues. Religious disabilities in connexion with admission to Fellowships were practically abolished by 40 Geo. III., cap. 84, sec. 44. The several oaths required to be taken by any person previous to admission to a Fellowship were altered by 21 & 22 Vic., cap. 48, and were further amended by 22 Vic., cap. 10, which provides a form of affirma- tion in some cases, while 21 & 22 Vic., cap. 48, continues the * I. e. y Fellow. From this clause it would appear that the title, “ Royal College of Physicians,” is legally synonymous with “ King and Queen’s College of Physicians.” 1 14 ) provisions of 10 Geo. IV., cap. 7 (the Emancipation Act), in others. The following Irish corporate bodies are legally empowered to grant qualifications which may be registered under the Medical Act, 21 and 22 Vic., cap. 90 : — 1. The University of Dublin, by Charter of Queen Elizabeth, and subsequent Royal Charters, grants degrees in Medicine and Surgery. 2. The Queen’s University in Ireland, by Charters of Queen Victoria, grants degrees in Medicine and Surgery. 3. The King and Queen’s College of Physicians in Ireland, by Charter of William and Mary, grants licenses in Medicine and Midwifery, and elects duly qualified persons to Fellowship and Honorary Fellowship. 4. The Royal College of Surgeons of Ireland, by Charter of Geo. IV., and supplemental Charter, grants licenses in Surgery, as well as licenses in Mid- wifery to its own licentiates, and to them only. It also admits duly qualified persons to Fellowship and Honorary Fellowship. ' 5. The Governor, Deputy Governor, and Directors of the Apothecaries Hall of Ireland, by 31 Geo. III., cap. 34, are empowered to grant Certificates to Open a Shop, or follow the Art and Mystery of an Apothecary within the kingdom of Ireland, to such persons as they shall have examined, and found qualified for the same. The following have been the titles in use among Members or Licentiates of the College: — 1. Fellow; 2. Honorary Fellow; 8. Candidate; 4. Licentiate; 5. Licentiate in Midwifery. FELLOWS. The Fellows alone constitute the Corporation and govern the College, without the intervention of a Board, Council, Committee, or Senate. From among the Fellows the College elects annually the President, four Censors, the Treasurer, the Registrar, the Honorary Librarian, and the members of several Committees. The College also elects annually a Professor of Midwifery, a Professor of Medical Jurisprudence, two Examiners in Midwifery, three Examiners in Arts,* a Librarian on Sir P. Dun’s foundation,! and a Representative * The President, Censors, Registrar, and “ such and so many other meet officer or officers, minister or ministers, as shall be thought fit and necessary ” are elected by the powers conferred in the Charter of 1692, sec. xxxix. t By 40 Geo. III., cap. 84. ( 15 ) on the General Medical Council ;* * * § and, when a vacancy occurs, it appoints three of the five electors, who elect the King’s Professors of Institutes of Medicine, Practice of Medicine, and Materia Medica and Pharmacy, on the foundation of Sir Patrick Dun.t The President and Censors are ex officio Governors of Sir Patrick Dun’s Hospital, and, as already noted, possess large legal powers ; but in practice the duties of the Censors are now chiefly confined to examining for the License to Practise. The President, by Charter of 1692, appoints one of the Censors to be Vice-President, and the person so appointed possesses all the rights and privileges of the President in the absence of the latter. The official costume of the President is somewhat similar to that of the Chancellor of a University, and the College mace is borne before him on public occasions, and at meetings of the College. The College costume of the Fellows is somewhat similar to that of the Fellows of Trinity College, Dublin.^ A meeting of the President and Fellows is in the Charter styled a u Court,” or “ Convocation ” (sec. xix). HONORARY FELLOWS. Honorary Fellows were first elected on St. Luke’s Day, 1728; when Dr. Thomas Molyneux and Dr. Edward Wetenhall resigned their Fellowships and were chosen Honorary Fellows. There may be said to be two classes of Honorary Fellows : 1. Ex-Fellows, so elected on obtaining Professorships or other offices, the appointment to which ipso facto vacated their Fellowships^ 2. Those elected for eminence as Physicians, or as men of Literary and Scientific attainments. The Honorary Fellowhip entitles the holder of it to * By 21 and 22 Viet., cap. 90. t By 40 Geo. III., cap. 84. The remaining electors are the Provost of Trinity College, and the Regius Professor of Physic in the University. The latter office has never been filled by any one who was not at least a Licentiate (Permissus) and, with two exceptions, also a Fellow of this College. X These and other usages are not established by Charter or by Statute, and are alterable at the pleasure of the College. § By 40 Geo. III., cap. 84. ( 16 ) be registered as a duly qualified Physician, and it has never been conferred on any person without medical qualification. CANDIDATES. Candidates were those from whom the Fellows were chosen when a vacancy occurred in the original number of 14. They were re- quired to be qualified as Doctors in Physic previous to admission to examination for Licence, after passing which they were styled Candidates. The first recorded admission of a Candidate since 1692 is that of Dr. Edward Wetenhall, on 3rd May, 1693. This order was set aside in 1755, restored in 1785, and finally abolished 11th June, 1792. LICENTIATES. Licentiates were not numerous while the superior order of Candidates existed ; and for a long time subsequent to the abolition of the latter order the heavy stamp duty, payable on admission to the License, operated unfavourably to the interests of the College. The first recorded admission to this order since 1692 is that of Gilbert Hamilton, who, having been examined, was admitted 9th July, 1693; and on the same date, John Hamilton, a Licentiate of the College under the Charter of Charles II., was re-licensed under the provisions of the present Charter. Up to 1st January, 1866, there have been 862 Licentiates admitted; and of these a considerable number have been licensed since the abolition of the stamp duty. In no case is Examination dispensed with. No person can be admitted to Examination under the age of twenty-one years ; and every Candidate must produce Testimonials of Character from registered Physicians or Surgeons, as also evidence of having passed an examination in the subjects of Preliminary General Education, and of four years’ professional education as laid down in the published “ Regulations respecting the Education, Examination, and Admission of Candidates for the Licentiateship in Medicine.” The Examination or Examinations are conducted by the Censors and other Examiners appointed by the College. The Examinations for the License to practise ( 17 ) Medicine (and for the Diploma in Midwifery) are held in presence of the resident Fellows, every one of whom is specially summoned by the President in each case ; and they are also open to the Honorary Fellows and Licentiates. By this means the best kind of publicity is attained, inasmuch as those most capable of judging of a medical examination are thus enabled to secure a strict test for the benefit of the public, and impartiality for the Candidates. Every Candidate must, before admission as a Licentiate, solemnly declare that he will observe the Statutes and Bye-Laws of the College ; and in case of violation of the pi, or of any of the conditions specified in the Declaration, that he will submit to Censure or Expulsion and Surrendering of Diploma, “ whichever the President and Fellows of the College shall think proper to inflict;” that he will not engage in any trade in any part of the United Kingdom ; that he will not resort to any unworthy means of obtaining practice, or of attracting public notice ; nor use nor permit his name to be used in connexion with any secret remedy ; nor compound nor dispense medicines for sale. He may, however, compound and dispense medicines for his own patients. If the Candidate for the License be an Apothecary, he must, previously to examination, surrender his Apothecary’s Certificate, which, should he be rejected, will be returned to him ; and, so long as he remains a Licentiate, he cannot be registered as an Apothecary. Any Clerk in Holy Orders, or any Barrister at Law, if qualified in other respects, may become a Candidate for the License; or if a Licentiate of sufficient standing and qualification, may become a Candidate for Fellowship and any Fellow or Licentiate who may take Holy Orders, or be called to the Bar, continues to hold his Collegiate position, so far as the College statutes and bye-laws are concerned.* By ancient usage in this country, analogous to the title “ Rev.” in the case of a clergyman, and “ Esq.” in that of a barrister, the * At present there are two Fellows, two Honorary Fellows, and three Licentiates in Priest’s Orders of the United Church of England and Ireland. One Licentiate is in Deacons Orders of the United Church; and one Licentiate is a Barrister-at-Law. B ( 18 ) title “ Dr.” has always been applied to a physician as distinguished from that of “ Mr.” in the case of a surgeon. Accordingly this College invariably applies the title “ Dr.” to its Fellows, Honorary Fellows, and Licentiates, whether graduate Doctors or not. LICENTIATES IN MIDWIFERY. The first License in Midwifery was granted 3rd February, 169^, to Mistress Cormack, who seems to have been the only woman licensed by the College.* The second License was granted 21st October, 1715, to “ Mr. James Hamilton, Surgeon.” The College is authorized to examine and license,! and does examine and license in Midwifery persons who are not its own Licentiates, but they must be duly qualified Medical Practitioners, and, before admission, must subscribe a declaration similar to that subscribed by Candidates for the License to practise Medicine. COLLEGE HALLS, From 1654 to 1667, as already stated, the Fraternity of Physicians occupied Trinity Hall. Their successors, the President and Fellows of the College of Physicians in Dublin, continued to occupy the same premises until the granting of the New Charter in 1692, when, as nearly as can be ascertained, the President and Fellows of the King and Queen’s College of Physicians in Ireland gave up possession of the Hall to the Provost and Senior Fellows of T.C.D., and held their meetings in the house of Sir Patrick Dun, on the Inns-quay. Sir Patrick Dun died in 1713, having bequeathed his estates in trust to the College for various purposes, some of which have been already referred to ; and for several years after his death Lady Dun continued to the College the use of the same house as their Convocation Hall. For some years after * The form of this license is given in Sir P. Dun’s book, p. 75. + By Clause 30 of Charter of 1692. X Sec. xix. of the Charter of 1692 authorises the erection of a “ Hall, or Council House,” in which the “ Court ” or “ Convocation ” of the President and Fellows shall be held from time to time. ( 19 ) the College ceased to meet on the Inns- quay ; its meetings were held in Sackville-street, and, subsequently to this period, in the house of the President for the time being. On the completion of Sir P. Dun’s Hospital,* the* west wing of which was opened for patients in 1808, the central portion of that edifice was allocated to the College for a Convocation Hall, a Library, a Museum, a Lecture room, and private rooms for the three Professors on the foundation of Sir Patrick Dun. The foundation stone of the new College Buildings in Kildare- street, was laid on Monday, 7th July, 1862, by the late Earl of Carlisle, when Lord Lieutenant, during the Presidency of Dr. Corrigan, to whose exertions the erection of the present Hall, and premises connected therewith, is in a great measure due.f The last College Meeting, in the old premises at Sir Patrick Dun’s Hospital, was held on Friday, 1st July, 1864, and the first Meeting in the New Hall took place on the Tuesday following. Beside the Hall, or Council House, the new Buildings include a Library and Librarian’s Room, a Museum, a Reading Room, a Record Room, and Registrar’s Office, and spacious premises in the rere. THE LIBRARY. The Library, “ Bibliotheca Patricii Dun Equitis Aurati,” long known as Sir Patrick Dun’s Library, was founded in 1711 by the will of Sir Patrick Dun, who bequeathed his books to the College. In a private Act of Parliament, passed in 1743, 21 Geo. H., provision was made for the support and government of this Library. Again, in 1785, provision was made regarding it by Statute 25 Geo. HI., cap. 42 ; and finally, in 1800, it was settled on its present legal basis by the School of Physic Act, 40 Geo. III., cap. 84, under * This Hospital is built on “a lot of ground, of which a lease for 998 years was granted to the College of Physicians.” — Osborne's Annals of Sir P. Dun's Hospital, p. 15. + On the termination of Dr. Corrigan’s unusual term of Presidency (see List of Presidents), the Fellows, in recognition of his services, resolved to place his portrait, painted by Mr. Catterson Smith, Pres. R.H. A., in the College Common Hall. ( 20 ) which, and under some unrepealed portions of the Statute of 1743, it is now supported and governed. Up to the Summer of 1864 it was only a Lending Library for the use of the Fellows, King’s Professors, Licentiates, and Matri- culated Students of the School of Physic ; but on the death of the late Librarian, Dr. George Alexander Kennedy, the College re- solved to convert it into a Reading Library also. They accordingly resolved to modify the library system of former years by electing a layman to the office of Librarian on Sir P. Dun’s foundation, and confiding to him the duties usually discharged by the Assistant Librarians in our large public libraries. In addition, they created the office of Honorary* Librarian, to be held by one of the Fellows, with duties similar to those of the Senior or Chief Librarian in our large public libraries. These alterations have already taken effect. The Library was removed from the College premises at Sir P. Dun’s Hospital during the Summer of 1865 ; and, after some time spent in arrangement and classification, was reopened on the 1st of October, 1865. It is open daily from 10 a.m to 6 p.m., except on Sundays and on a few other days in the year. A Book of Donations lies on the table, in which is recorded the title of every book, or other matter presented, with the name of the donor; and a due acknowledgement of receipt is given in every case. THE READING ROOM. The Reading Room was established in 1864 for the use of Fellows and Licentiates of the College. The room is supplied with the principal Home and Foreign medical periodicals, and also with some literary periodicals — e.g ., The Athenaeum , Notes and Queries , and The Saturday Review . Writing materials are also provided. The rate of subscription is as follows : — Fellows and Licentiates residing in Dublin, or within twelve miles * So called from his receiving an honorarium or fee for his services, as dis- tinguished from the Librarian, who receives a salary from Sir P. Dun's estates. ( 21 ) thereof, £1 entrance, which includes subscription for the first year, and ten shillings per annnm for succeeding years. Fellows and Licentiates residing more than twelve miles from Dublin five shillings per annum. Subscribers to the Reading Room are free of the Library, and are ipso facto members of the Medical Society of the College. THE MUSEUM. The Museum was founded in the year 1861, and in great part consists of specimens of the Materia Medica presented to or purchased by the College, with a small collection of medals. The principal donors are Dr. George B. Wood, Professor of Materia Medica in the University of Philadelphia, U.S.A., an Honorary Fellow of the College ; Messrs. Allen and Hanbury, London ; William Allen, and Charles E. Bagot, Esqs. ; Drs. W. M. Burke, George Johnson, R. D. Lyons, M‘Carthy, Charles Moore, William D. Moore, the late J. Moore Neligan, Aquilla Smith, and Allison; also Thomas March, Esq., Jamaica, and George Henry Maunsell, Esq. A descriptive catalogue, prepared by Professor Aquilla Smith, has been printed for the College. THE MEDICAL SOCIETY. “ The Medical Society of the College of Physicians, Ireland,” was instituted in 1864, and is a revival of the Association of the College of Physicians, which was founded in 1816, and was dis- solved in 1864 to make way for the present foundation which was formed “for the purpose of more intimately uniting the Fellows, Honorary Fellows, and Licentiates.” Subscribers to the Reading Room are ipso facto members, and meetings for the reading and discussion of papers are held on the third Wednesday of each month, from November to May inclusive. Further information may be had from the Honorary Secretary, Dr. B. Grattan Guinness, 24, Lower Fitzwilliam-street. ( 22 ) SCHOOL OF PHYSIC. “The School of Physic in Ireland” is a medical corporation or college, instituted by Act of Parliament in 1800, and is governed by the Statute 40 Geo. IIL, cap. 84, commonly called “ The School of Physic Act,” which repealed previous enactments on the same subject. It consists of the Professors of Anatomy and Chirurgery, of Chemistry, and of Botany, on the University foundation, appointed by the Board of T.C.D. ; of the King’s Professors of the Institutes of Medicine, of the Practice of Medicine, and of Materia Medica and Pharmacy, on the foundation of Sir Patrick Dun, practically appointed by this College, as detailed on p. 15, and of such students as shall matriculate with the Registrar of Trinity College. To this foundation the University has added a Professor of Surgery, an Anatomist, and an Assistant Anatomist on the founda- tion of Trinity College ; and this College has added a Professor- ship of Midwifery with the Diseases of Women and Children, and a Professorship of Medical Jurisprudence. The University Professors and Lecturers are under the control of the Board of T.C.D. , and the King’s Professors, on the foundation of Sir P. Dun, and those founded by this College, are under the control of the President and Fellows. The entire course of medical instruction of the School of Physic, with the exception of the Clinical courses at Sir P. Dun’s Hospital, is at present given in the Medical School of the University. For full particulars see Dublin University Calendar for 1866. SIR PATRICK DUN’S HOSPITAL. “Nosocomium Patricii Dun Equitis Aurati,” to which occasional reference has already been made, was founded by the School of Physic Act of 1800 ; and in accordance with the terms of the Act is called after Sir Patrick Dun, probably because it is in great part supported by an annual charge on his estates, bequeathed by him to the College of Physicians in trust for quite a different purpose. As already stated, it is built on a plot of ground granted on lease ( 23 ) to the College ; and the expense of its erection was defrayed partly out of the proceeds of Sir P. Dun’s estates, partly out of a sum of £1,200 belonging to the College, which the School of Physic Act “ appropriated ” to this purpose; and partly by aid of repeated Parliamentary grants. During the last two years the College has given over to the Governors the entire use of the central portion of the building, which consisted mainly of College apartments, with a view to the conversion of the Hospital into a Medico-Chirurgical Institution, a change which was considered desirable for the improvement of the School of Physic. All Candidates for Medical Degrees in the University must attend the Clinical courses which are delivered here by the Pro- fessors of the School of Physic; besides whom there are two Physicians-in-Ordinary appointed by the Governors. The internal management of the Hospital is committed to a Board of Governors, consisting of the Visitors, the President and Censors of this College, the Provost of Trinity College (all for the time being), and of twelve persons annually elected by the ex-officio Governors from among the subscribers to the Hospital — it being provided that no person attending patients in the Hospital, as Physician or Surgeon, shall act as a Governor. — Osborne’s Annals of Sir P. Dun’s Hospital. EXAMINATIONS. Examinations for the Licence to Practice Medicine are held at such times as the President shall appoint. They are conducted by the President or Vice-President, and the Censors, at Meetings or Convocations of the College, and are open to all Licentiates. In the case of Candidates not having a Medical or Surgical qualification recognized by the College the examination for the Licence is divided into two parts : — First part (which may be at the end of the student’s second year), Anatomy, Physiology, Botany, and Chemistry. Second part (at the end of the student’s fourth year), Materia Medica, Practice of Medicine, Medical Jurisprudence, and Mid- wifery. Candidates having a Medical or Surgical qualification ( 24 ) recognized by the College are required to undergo the second part of the examination only. The two parts can not be held on the same day. Examinations for the Licence or Diploma in Midwifery are held at such times as the President shall appoint, and are con- ducted by the Examiners in Midwifery, under the same regulations as those above noticed. Candidates who are already Licentiates of the College are admissible to this examination in right of their licence ; in all other cases the candidate must produce evidence of his having a degree or licence in Medicine or Surgery from some University or College of Physicians or Surgeons in the United Kingdom, together with a certificate of having attended a six months’ course of lectures on Midwifery, with the attendance for six months at a recognized lying-in hospital, or of having attended Practical Midwifery for six months at a recognized lying-in hospital, or such evidence of Practical Midwifery attendance in each individual case as shall be satisfactory to the College. Candidates for the Licence to Practice Medicine are required to have passed an examination in Arts before the Board of Examiners of this College previous to or within the first two years of their pro- fessional studies ; or to have passed within the period specified an examination in General Education held by some of the Qualifying Bodies approved by the College. Examinations in Arts are held at the College on the second Saturdays in January, April, July, and October in each year, and Candidates are required to enter their names with the Registrar before appearing for examination. The examinations are conducted by the Examiners in Arts, and the following is the curriculum : — English. — Composition, and writing to dictation. French. — Charles XII . ; or German. — William Tell , at the option of the student. Greek. — Homer, Iliad , Book I. ; or Xenophon, Anabasis , Book I. ; or Walker’s Lucian , Dialogues 1-12, at the option of the student. ( 25 ) Latin.— Virgil, AEneid, Books I. and II. ; or Sallust ; or Caesar, De Bello Gallico , Books I. and II. ; at the option of the student. Mathematics. — Euclid , Books I. and II. ; and Arithmetic , to the end of decimal fractions. FEES. The fee for the Licence is £15 15s., and it may be thus divided : — For examination at termination of first period of study, £5 5s. For final examination, £10 10s. The fee for the Midwifery Diploma is £3 3s., except in the case of Licentiates who come in for this examination within one month from their admission to the Licence. The fee for both Licences in such a case is £16. For admission to preliminary examination in Arts, 10s. Rejected candidates for the Licences can have their admission fees returned minus £2 2s., the expense of examination in Medicine, and £1 Is. in Midwifery ; and if admitted within twelve months from rejection the sum or sums previously deducted will be allowed. The present Register (see Table of Contents) contains the names of those only who were believed to be living 1st January, 1866.* All the Fellows are Licentiates, and some are also Honorary Fellows, having been so chosen prior to their election to Fellowships. Several of the Honorary Fellows are Licentiates, and many of the Licentiates are also Licentiates in Midwifery. The nomenclature of degrees here adopted has been conformed as far as possible to the existing usages of the several Univer- sities. In Oxford the Latin nomenclature ( e.g ., A.B., Artium Baccalaureus) has been for many years disused, except in Latin documents, and the English nomenclature (e.g., B.A., Bachelor of Arts ; D.M., Doctor in Medicine) wholly substituted for it. In Cambridge the same usage prevails, except as regards degrees in Laws * For the list of deceased Fellows, Honorary Fellows, Licentiates, and Licentiates in Midwifery, see Appendix, page 99. ( 26 ) and Medicine which are still expressed by the Latin nomenclature. In Dublin the Cambridge use was adopted in 1858,* * * § although for years previously degrees in Divinity only were expressed in English ( e.g ., D.D. Doctor in Divinity, for S.T.D. Sacrae Theologiae Doctor), and in every instance “ Dubl,:” has been annexed to a Dublin degree instead of the more popular “ T.C.D.” which is incorrect, as Trinity College does not give degrees, but the University of Dublin, a wholly different body, by Royal Charter of 1857,f posesses and exercises this power. From this it will appear that the expressions “ a Fellow of the University,”]; and “ M.D., T.C.D.,’ * are now equally incorrect. The Queen’s University in Ireland, and the London University, follow the Cambridge use, while the Scotch Univer- sities, for the most part, use the Latin nomenclature for all degrees, except degrees in Theology.

Univ. Calendar, 1858. t See Introduction to Dublin University Calendar, 1858. Previous to the issue of the Letters Patent of 1857, the relative positions of Trinity College and the University of Dublin may be said to have been inexactly defined ; and, in fact, they were at times matters of controversy. t There are “ Fellows of the University of Calcutta. ,, — See Royal Charter in its Calendar for 1864-65. § This contains a copy of Sir Patrick Dim’s will. || This contains copies of documents concerning Trinity Hall.

In compliance with a request of the College it has been reprinted in a separate form at their expense. Among the heir-loom pictures in the Provost’s house, T.C.D. , is one of which nothing is known. It is that of a medical lecturer in scarlet gown, and in the wig of the Caroline period. It is numbered 27 in Provost Macdonnell’s printed catalogue, and is probably a portrait of Dr. Stearne. printed Statutes and Bye-Laws, and the Regulations respecting the admission of Licentiates, which may be seen on application to the Registrar.

The following Roll of the Presidents and Fellows has been drawn up by the Editor of the Register in compliance with a request of the College. To it has been added an Obituary of the Honorary Fellows, Candidates, Licentiates, and Licentiates in Midwifery, from 1692 to 1866 ; and a Catalogue of Pictures, Busts, &c., in possession of the College. The names of the earlier Presidents and Fellows have been obtained with difficulty, because of the want of any regularly kept College Journals previous to 1698 ;* but wherever there was any reasonable doubt as to any particular name, it has been thus marked [?]. Except where otherwise stated, the names of the earlier Presi- dents are given on the authority of Barrett's MSS., particulars respecting which will be found in Dr. Belcher’s “ Memoir of Dr. Stearne,” referred to in the Introduction to this Register. The use of these MSS. has been kindly given by the Rev. Dr. Todd, S. F.T.C.D. The form of the instrument by which the Board of T. C.D. appointed these Presidents is given in Barrett's MSS., p . 71. Some of the names of the earlier Fellows are -given on the authority of Barrett's MSS. ; while those marked [?] are taken from the Rev. Dr. Todd’s MS., “Graduati Dublinienses, 1658 — 1740.” The elections between 1667 and 1687 are nearly all given on the authority of D’Olin’s book, mentioned in Dr. Stearne’s Memoir. * “ Sir Patrick Dun, on his election as President, owned ye Receipt of ye Charter, ye Great Book [Sir P. Dun’s book], ye Journal, ye Book of Accounts, [D’Olin’s book] ye Parchment of Subscriptions, ye College Seal, and other loose papers.”- — Journal , 31 st Oct., 1698. These seem to have been the only records then belonging to the College. ( 100 ) The Obituary contains the entire Roll of Candidates from 1692 to the final abolition of that order in 1792 (see Introduction, p. 12) 9 as well as a list of all deceased Honorary Fellows, Licentiates, and Licentiates in Midwifery, from 1692 to 1866. These Lists have been arranged with considerable difficulty owing to the imperfection of the College MS. Lists, the omissions of some admissions duly recorded in the College Journals from the Roll of Subscriptions, and vice versa. As far as can be ascertained, however, the Register and Appendix, together, contain all known names of Presidents and Fellows, from 1654 to 1865, and all the names of other ranks from 1692 to 1865. As it is the intention of the editor at some future time to enlarge this Appendix into a work consisting of short biographical notices of each Fellow, Honorary Fellow, Candidate, Licentiate, and Licentiate in Midwifery, little has been given here beyond a correct list of the names of the Presidents and Fellows, with the dates of election or appointment, and the Obituary above noted. The notes appended to some names are, for the most part, only such as are necessary to explain certain important occurrences in the history of the College ; and they are inserted with a view to their quotation as precedents in time to come. The names of living Fellows are printed in capitals, and to the names of living ex-Fellows which are printed in manuscript, are appended short explanatory notes. The date of death has in many cases not been ascertained. But such dates as are now inserted are given in the hope that the others may be supplied through the kindness of correspondents. The date of death of a Fellow is to be sought for in the Roll of Fellows ; the dates of deaths of Honorary Fellows and Licentiates, in the respec- tive lists of those ranks.

( 2 ) powers, authorities, liberties, immunities, privileges, and jurisdictions, in the said city of Dublin, and within seven miles of the same, as by the said letters patent remaining on record in our rolls of our High Court of Chancery in Ireland may more at large appear. II. And whereas the said noble design and intention of our said Royal Uncle hath not met with such good success as was expected, partly for want of sufficient power in the said College or Corporation to punish and reform such abuses and grievances as were frequently committed, and partly because their power and jurisdiction, such as it was, did not extend further than seven miles from our said city of Dublin, so that all the rest of our said kingdom of Ire- land was exposed to the same inconveniency it was liable unto before the said grant, whereby the number of unskil- ful and illiterate practisers of physic hath much increased, and the frauds and deceits of empirics, apothecaries, and druggists, doth abound to the dishonour of our govern- ment, and to the great prejudice and destruction of our good subjects in that our kingdom. For the remedy, therefore, of those and the like evils, and for prevention of the like mischiefs for the time to come, and to supply the defects of the said former Charter, and to provide that a due and seasonable reformation may be had and made in the premises, and that an apt, proper, and legal Constitu- tion and Corporation may be made and established of grave, learned, able, and experienced doctors and practisers in physic in our said kingdom of Ireland, endowed with powers, jurisdictions, and privileges, convenient and requi- site for the time to come.

This medal was engraved by William Mossop, Sen., of Dublin, in the year 1783 , by order of Eobert Watson Wade, Esq., first clerk of the Treasury, Dublin Castle, who was affected with a disease which had baffled the skill of the faculty ; but having consulted Dr. Quin, he reco- vered, and as a token of gratitude presented him with an impression in gold, and inscribed on the reverse “ ob sanitatem restitutam . excudit . e. w. WADE. In a private collection in Dublin there is an impression in silver, with the following inscription on the reverse : — “ The human frame is, Quin, thy debtor, None but the Maker knows it belter.” Dr. Quin was Professor of the Practice of Physic, and President of the King and Queen’s College of Physicians* six times ; he was an ac- complished musician, and used to take part in the fashionable Concerts held in the old Theatre, Eishamble-street ; he also had a private theatre at his residence, on the north side of Stephen’s- green. He acquired great skill in imitating antique sculptured gems, with coloured glass ; and was the first to recognise the genius of James Tassie, whom he en- gaged as his assistant, and subsequently enabled him to proceed to London, in 1766 , to practise an art by which he acquired wealth and the highest reputation.

Sir Hans Sloane, “ a celebrated English physician and naturalist” (Gorton’s Biograph. Diet.), was born April 16, 1660, at Killileagh, a borough town in the county of Down, Ireland. He was created a barouetby George I., in 1716, “ being the first physician on whom that honour was conferred.” He was elected President of the Eoyal College of Physicians, London, in 1719; and on the death of Sir Isaac Newton, in 1727, he succeeded to the Presidency of the Eoyal Society of Lon- don. He died at Chelsea, January 11, 1752, in the ninety-second year of his age. He gave to the Society of Apothecaries, London, the piece of ground at Chelsea which up to the present time is known as the “ Physic Garden;” and he bequeathed to the public the whole of his rich cabinet of coins and medals, objects of Natural History, valuable library of printed books and manuscripts, on condition that the sum of £20,000 should be paid to his executors. Parliament, in 1753, passed an act for the purchase of the collection, and such was the commence- ment of the great national establishment, the British Museum.
