Excerpt from Orders and Ordinances for the Better Government of the Hospitall of Bartholomew the Lease: With Prefatory Note Among my few treasures in the shape of old books, one of the most valued is a copy of the Rules which were drawn up for the government of St. Bartholomew's Hospital at the time at which it was refounded by King Henry VIII. It is dated 1652, and is a Reprint of the original Pamphlet which was first published in the reign of King Edward VI., and again printed in the year 1580. It is bound up with two other rare pamphlets, of which one is entitled, "Orders taken and enacted for Orphans and their Portions, " and the other, "A Briefe Discourse of the laudable Customes of London." The whole have been evidently reprinted and published together, and are, apparently, in the original calf-binding. The title-page of my copy is here given in fac-simile, but I have reprinted only the Pamphlet which relates to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. The "Orders and Ordinances" are accompanied by a Preface written on behalf of the Lord Mayor and Corporation of the City of London as a reply to "certain clamours and slanders raised by some ill-minded persons."
