Beschreibung

The Annals of the Barber-Surgeons of London is a comprehensive historical account that chronicles the fascinating evolution of the Company of Barber-Surgeons, one of the most influential guilds in the history of English medicine. Drawing from original records, charters, and minute books, this work offers a detailed narrative of the Company’s foundation, development, and its pivotal role in shaping the medical and surgical practices of London from the Middle Ages through the early modern period. The book delves into the unique dual profession of barber-surgeons, who were responsible not only for hair-cutting and shaving but also for performing surgical procedures, bloodletting, and dental extractions at a time when the boundaries between medical professions were fluid and often contested. Through vivid anecdotes, biographical sketches, and descriptions of notable events, the annals illuminate the lives and contributions of prominent members, the challenges faced by the guild in asserting its authority, and its interactions with other medical bodies such as the College of Physicians. The text explores the Company’s internal governance, its elaborate ceremonies, and the significance of its hall, as well as the impact of royal patronage and legislative changes on its fortunes. Readers are given insight into the social, political, and scientific context in which the barber-surgeons operated, including their involvement in public health, the regulation of apprenticeships, and the struggle for professional recognition. Richly illustrated with references to original documents and historical illustrations, The Annals of the Barber-Surgeons of London is not only a valuable resource for historians of medicine but also a captivating window into the daily life, customs, and advancements of early English society. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the barber-surgeons and their significant contributions to the development of surgery and healthcare in Britain.

Transcriber’s notes:

Much of the text in this book was first written centuries before English spelling and punctuation became standardised; it is presented here true to the original. It was common practice at the time to abbreviate handwritten text using superscripted letters, diacritics, and archaic symbols. These will not necessarily display correctly with commonly used screen fonts – and on small handheld devices they may not display at all, or may give rise to illegible fragmented text. Readers are strongly recommended to view the text on a full-sized screen with a browser using a Unicode-compliant font such as Free Serif, Cardo, Segoe UI Symbol, DejaVu, Arial Unicode MS or Lucida Sans Unicode, and even then the text might not display correctly with every browser.

In this transcription, hyperlinks (to a page, illustration or footnote) are indicated by a black dotted underline and by aqua highlighting when the mouse pointer hovers over them. A red dashed underline indicates the presence of a hidden comment which can be revealed by hovering the mouse pointer over the underlined text. Page numbers are shown in the right margin. Footnotes are located at the end of the book. Some illustrations have been repositioned closer to the relevant passage of text.

A title was added to the original plain book cover by the transcriber.

THE ANNALS OF THE BARBER-SURGEONS OF LONDON, COMPILED FROM THEIR RECORDS AND OTHER SOURCES, BY SIDNEY YOUNG, ONE OF THE COURT OF ASSISTANTS OF THE WORSHIPFUL COMPANY OF BARBERS OF LONDON, WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY AUSTIN T. YOUNG.

Let me embrace thee, good old chronicle, That hast so long walk’d hand in hand with time.

Shakespeare.

London:BLADES, EAST & BLADES,23, Abchurch Lane, E.C. 1890.

A mery chylde he was, so god me saue Wel coude he let blood, clyppe, and shaue.

Chaucer.

PREFACE.

That the foundation of the Commerce, and consequently of the Greatness, of London was laid by the old Livery Guilds—few will question. Much is already known, through the Histories of such of them as have been written—and an apology from me is not needed for a further contribution to so interesting a study. But whilst I make no apology for the contribution, I crave the indulgence of my readers for any shortcomings which, from a literary point of view, may appear in this work; I invite their attention to the matter, rather than to the style in which it is expressed.

About eight years ago I applied to our Court for permission to search the Records, and my request being complied with, I devoted such spare time as I could secure from an engrossing occupation to the compilation of these Annals. The work has necessarily led to the burning of much midnight oil, because every extract and every line has been made by my own pen. The researches have extended to the examination of all, and the transcript of a considerable portion of thirteen lengthy Charters and sets of By-laws, as also to the entire perusal of about a hundred books of Records. In addition to this, there has been much labour expended at the British Museum, the Public Record Office, the Guildhall, and Somerset House.

The material thus collected became so voluminous, that I experienced considerable difficulty in separating it into Subject Chapters, and also in deciding what to retain and what to reject; my endeavour in this respect having been to preserve all that is really interesting and curious, discarding dry legal passages, doubtful points, and wearisome repetitions.

None but those who have had experience of the crabbed eccentric writing and contractions of former times (see some of the fac-similes given) and of the abbreviated “Court hand” Latin in which Charters and other Records were penned, can have the least idea of the trouble and care required in their deciphering; but in this respect I have not spared pains in giving literal and accurate transcripts.

In no case have I modernized the old spelling, or interfered with the quaintness of the original expressions; though all dates occurring between the 1st January and 24th March prior to the year 1752 (when “old style” was extinguished) have been rectified, and the “historical year,” according to our present computation, given; thus rendering the chronology systematic, and avoiding confusion and inaccuracy.

It is a matter of the greatest regret, that whilst we possess some earlier records, our Court Minutes previous to 1551 are lost. It is conjectured that they must have been at the Hall in 1793 (as a partial list of Masters was then compiled), but all trace of them has now disappeared. Again, the Minutes from 1651–1689 are now missing, although they were at the Hall about forty years ago.

I may here take the opportunity to remark that the Barbers and Barber-Surgeons held a somewhat distinctive position apart from other Companies, inasmuch as they were a Professional rather than a Trade Guild, and their History, consequently, becomes invested with an especial interest. Another point to which I, as a Barber, am proud to refer is that our Company stood out, alone, as the pioneer of Technical Education, hundreds of years before it became as popular as it now is. From the middle of the fifteenth century the Company was careful to provide for Surgical Lectures, and the regular and systematic instruction of its members. The means originally employed may have been primitive, but they were dictated by high motives, and gradually extended and developed; a Museum (a poor one, it is true) and a valuable Library were founded, an Anatomical Theatre was built, and every opportunity taken to encourage the Scientific study of Surgery—all with results fraught with the greatest benefit, not only to London, but to the Kingdom at large.

In conclusion, I desire to express my thanks to those who have aided me in my work, and especially to my dear and valued friend, Past Master Charles John Shoppee, whose practical assistance, advice and encouragement all through, have been to me of the greatest service. Mr. D’Arcy Power, M.A., has laid me under much obligation, and particularly for revising and perfecting my translation of the Norman-French Ordinances, 12th Rich. II. My son, Austin Travers Young, has rendered valuable assistance in delineating the several Illustrations throughout the work, and lastly, I must record, with gratitude, my obligation to Mr. Edward Lawless for the attention and care bestowed upon me on the numerous occasions of my visits to the Hall.

The preparation of this work, a somewhat arduous task for an Amateur, has been to me purely a labour of love, and, in laying down my pen I may be permitted to add, that my best wishes for the Ancient Mystery of Barbers are summed up in the words of our time-honoured toast, “The Worshipful Company of Barbers, Root and Branch, and may it flourish for ever.”
