    Professor Cleland interested himself in the reproduc¬ tion of the three photogravures, two of John Hunter and one of Vesalius. I am indebted to Messrs. T. and R. Annan and Sons, Glasgow, for the superb manner in which they have executed these photogravures. The photo¬ gravure of what I venture to call “ The Queen’s John Hunter ” is magnificent. For the loan of prints, blocks, and medallions, I am indebted to my friends Mr. A. E. Shipley, and Dr. j. N. Langley, Professors Charles Richet and E. Gley, of Paris, Professors H. B. Dixon, Dej Burgh Birch, Sir J. Burdon-Sanderson, G. D. Thane, M. Verworn, Dr. R. Milne Murray, and to Professor Mariano L. Patrizi, of Modena. I have also to thank my friends Professor C. S. Sherrington and Professor A. D. Waller for help. Their contributions bear their initials. My thanks are also due to my old college friend Professor Arthur Thomson, of Oxford, and Mr. Horace Hart, for obtaining for me photographs from prints in the Hope Collection, and also to Mr. Victor G. Plarr for permission to obtain photographs of some of the rare prints in the Library of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. For permission to copy certain illustrations I am indebted to A. H. Hallam Murray, Esq., Frank Bowcher, Esq., Sir W. Paget Bowman, Pierre Petit et Fils, Paris (to copy their portrait of Pasteur), Messrs. Mayall & Co., Limited, London,
