A HISTORY OF 

 THE LONDON HOSPITAL. 



By E. W. MORRIS, 



Secretary of the London Hospital. 



With 1 6 pages of Illustrations and several Plans. One Volume. 

 Large crown 8w., 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 system 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. 



NEIGHBOURS AND FRIENDS. 



By M. LOANE, 



Author of *An Englishman's Castle,' *The Queen's Poor," etc. 



One Volume. Crown Svo., cloth. 6s. 



Miss Loane's store of anecdotes and thumbnail sketches of the 

 poor, their ways of living, and their modes of thought and 

 expression, are apparently inexhaustible. Readers of her earlier 

 works will find in ' Neighbours and Friends ' a collection as 

 entertaining and as full of interest as any of its predecessors. 

 Miss Loane never dogmatizes, and rarely indulges in generaliza- 

 tion, but there are few problems connected with the Administration 

 of Public Relief on which her pages do not throw fresh light.
