Main description:

First published in 1935, this book presents a list of the licensed medical practitioners in the Diocese of London under the act of 3 Henry VIII, c. 11, covering the period 1529-1725. Drawn from various sources, the list is divided into 2 sections. The first section contains in chronological order the names entered in the Books of the Vicars-General of the See of London, housed in the Principal Probate Registry, Somerset House, and, in like manner, the entries in the later books still at St Paul's. The second section was derived from the bundles of original papers also preserved at St Paul's, and here the names are arranged in alphabetical order. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in British history and the history of medicine.
