Lincoln Inn Fields is the location of the Royal College of Surgeons London, whose collections of instruments forms the basis of this book. Sir Arthur Keith was the Conservator of the Hunterian Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons from 1908-1933. Charles John Samuel Thompson (1862-1943) was the first curator at the projected Wellcome Historical Medical Museum. He served in that capacity from 1909 until his retirement in 1926. In 1927 the Royal College of Surgeons elected him honorary curator of the Historical Section of its Museum in Loncoln's Inn Fields. In this position he worked untiringly cataloguing the collection until significant portions of it were destroyed in a bombing raid in May, 1941. By then, fortunately, Thompson had finished work on the current volume.
