    f£oj>al Institution of ffireat ISrttain, ALBEMARLE STREET, PICCADILLY, W. March 1883. TO ILLUSTRATE DR. McKENDRICE’S LECTURES ON PHYSIOLOGICAL DISCOVERY. Table showing: (1) the names of remarkable anatomists and physio- logists; (2) the names of contemporary representatives of other sciences; (3) the names of those distinguished in philosophy, literature, and art; and (4) a note of one or more events or personages indicating the historical position of the period. The object of the table is to show at a glance the leading contemporaries and more especially the scientific contemporaries, of the anatomists and physiologists, and thus to indicate the intellectual atmosphere in which they fived and worked. The period is from 1500 to 1860. The facts under the third and fourth heads have been derived chiefly from ‘Tables of European Literature and History, a.d. 200-1876,’ by Prof. Nichol. The facts under the first and second heads have been collected from many sources. (d = died; b = born.) Collated by JOHN G. McKENDRICK, M.D.
