or Counsel against the Sweat”--a treatise, in fact, on the sweating sickness. Strangely enough, the first edition was in English, but its ultimate appearance was in orthodox Latin. He was much concerned about the faulty pronunciation of Latin in this country, and tried to introduce the continental method of pronouncing the vowels, to which he had become accustomed during his long residence abroad. He was something of an antiquary, and proved to his own satisfaction that the University of Cambridge was founded by “Cantaber,” B.C. 394. He defended the privileges of the College, and in a case tried before the Lord Mayor in the reign of Elizabeth as to the right of surgeons to give internal remedies for the sciatica, &c., the evidence of President Caius seems to have convinced the Court that they had no such right. The name of Caius is inseparably connected with the teaching of anatomy in this country. When King Henry VIII. in 1540 gave the charter to the Barber-Surgeons (of which I shall have more to say hereafter), the following important clause formed part of the charter: “The said masters or governors of the mystery and commonalty of barbers and surgeons of London and their successors yearly for ever, after their said discretions, at their free liberty and pleasure, shall and may, have and take without contradiction, four persons condemned, adjudged and put to death for felony by the due order of the King’s laws of this realm, for anatomies, without any further suit or labour to be made to the King’s Highness, his heirs and successors for the same.” When the first anatomy lectures were given at Barber-Surgeons’ Hall is not quite clear; but according to South it was before 1563, and according to Sir George Baker, Dr. Caius was the first lecturer appointed, and this appointment was made shortly after his return from Italy, which was in 1547. It was during Caius’s lifetime, and while he was taking an active interest in the College, although not actually president (namely, in 1565), that Queen Elizabeth accorded to the physicians facilities with regard to anatomy similar to those enjoyed by the Barber-Surgeons; and it is evident from the statute of Caius College which I just now read, and which has been kindly brought to my notice by Mr. Ransom, that Caius made proper arrangements for the teaching of anatomy in connexion with his Cambridge foundation. Anatomy is the very groundwork of medicine, and without it it can have no existence as a branch of science. Undoubtedly we owe a deep debt of gratitude to the Barber-Surgeons, to the College of Physicians, and to Dr. Caius. I cannot dismiss this remarkable man without further illustrating his character by recalling three events which took place at the College during the time that Caius was president. In 1558, Christopher Langton, M.D., F.R.C.P., was expelled from the College for “rashness, levity, and foolish contentions with his colleagues at consultations, as well
