A HISTORY OF 
THE LONDON HOSPITAL. 
By E. W. MORRIS, 
SECRETARY OF THE LoNDon Hospital. 
Illustvated. One Volume. Cloth. 6s. net. 
The history of this great Hospital is not only interesting on 
account of the particular incidents of its long and honourable career, 
and the prominent men who have been connected with it, but also 
provides a typical example of the way in which our splendid medical 
charities have grown and developed. Beginning with a survey of 
the condition of Medicine and Surgery in 1741, the date of the 
foundation of the Hospital, the author describes its early days in 
Goodman’s Field, the move to Whitechapel, and the gradual growth 
during the last hundred and fifty years. He then deals with the 
systém of Administration, Finance, and Management, the relation of 
the Hospital to Medical and Surgical Science, the Medical School, 
and the Development of Sick Nursing. The reader is initiated into 
some noteworthy customs and ceremonies of the Hospital, and some 
account is given of the men whose names stand out in its history. 
The author has enjoyed exceptional advantages in writing his book, 
through his position as Secretary of the Hospital, and has collected 
some valuable materials for illustrating it from sources not generally 
accessible.

This book has considerable historical interest. It touches on several 
present problems, including the condition of the Welsh Church, 
Passive Resistance, and the immigration of Roman Catholics. 
Overton, the historian, says that Bishop Horsley was regarded as 
far and above all other contemporary writers on the side of the 
Church. The author possesses the Bishop’s private letters, and 
information hitherto unpublished.
