Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Royal Medical, and Chirurgical Society of London Centenary 1805-1905 Written at the Request of the President and Council This book has been written, at the request of the President and Council, for the Centenary Festival of The Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society of London. It contains Chronicles of the Society from 1805 to 1905, and a short account of its Presidents. The Chronicles, compiled by one of the Secretaries from the Minute-books, Proceedings, and Transactions of the Society, are of course imperfect. It was not possible to set forth a whole century of life, or to put in historical form the work of the present time. The plan of this part of the book was only to give in outline a history of our Society, which should be welcome to its present Fellows, and should commemorate, in our Festival, our Founders and Benefactors. The account of the Presidents is drawn from the usual sources of such biographies. It endeavours, chiefly by quotations from their writings, to put before the Society some characteristic of each President, or of the knowledge prevalent in his day. It has been composed with the intention of the sage of old, "Let us now praise famous men, and our fathers that begat us."
