Excerpt from The Two Foundations of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, A. D. 1123 and A. D. 1546: Being an Introductory Address Given at a Meeting of the Abernethian Society, October 8th, 1885 This Address is printed in accordance with the wish of many members of the Abernethian Society, before whom it was delivered at the first meeting of the Session 1885-6. Since its delivery, Dr. Norman Moore has published in the 21st vol. of our Hospital Reports the complete text of the MS. Life of Rahere, from which I have made so many extracts, and I am indebted to his kindness, in permitting me to look at the proof sheets, for an opportunity of correcting several verbal misprints which were present in the previous editions from which I had taken my quotations. A few additions have been made in the account of the Second Foundation. The Frontispiece is a reproduction of a portion of an engraving contained in the Vetusta Monumenta of the Society of Antiquaries.
