About this work
Description
Records of the Medical Club, a London dining club which became known, from at least 1905, as the Sydenham Medical Club. Its membership was restricted to six physicians, six surgeons, and six apothecaries (subsequently general practitioners). The origins of the Club are obscure; the earliest election to membership recorded here is that of Mr [Charles] Nevinson, elected in 1775 in place of Mr Carlisle deceased. Early meetings took place at the Thatched House Tavern, St James's Street.
