Book excerpt: Excerpt from Calendar of the Royal College of Surgeons of England: August 1, 1917 HE early history of the royal college OF surgeons or england is Origin of the the history of two Companies, which, existing at first as separate College. Fraternities or guilds, were for a time united into one body corporate, and finally became resolved again into two distinct Corporations. One of these, the Barbers' Company of London, is first definitely mentioned, in the records preserved at the Guildhall, in the year 1308, when Richard lo Barber was presented and sworn before the Court of Aldermen as Master and Supervisor of the Barbers' Guild; and from an Ordinance of the City made in the previous year it is evident that the Barbers of London were at that time engaged in the practice of at least some branches of Surgery. The other Company, known as the Fellowship or Guild of Surgeons, is mentioned in the City records in the year 1369, when two Masters were sworn before the Court of Aldermen and given power to report the faults of unskilful Surgeons. Between these two bodies there was for many years a keen rivalry and jealousy. Each tried by turns to attain supremacy of authority and jurisdiction in matters relating to the practice of Surgery. In the year 1376 the Barbers made a complaint to the Mayor and Aldermen against unskilled practitioners in Surgery, and obtained an Ordinance providing that two Masters should be appointed annually to direct and rule the Craft, to inspect instruments, and to see that none should be admitted to the franchise of the City except after attestation of their skill by good examination. Fourteen years later, however, four Masters of the Surgeons' Guild were sworn before the Court of Aldermen, and they were Invested with the power of scrutiny among persons practising Surgery and with authority to present defaults. But in the year 1410 the Barbers obtained from the Court of Aldermen confirmation of the privileges granted to them in 1376 with the addition that they should be enjoyed Without the scrutiny of any person or persons of any other craft or trade under any name whatsoever other than the craft or trade of the said Barbers.
