The Dental Hospital of London and the London School of Dental Surgery – Calendar 1881

Short Description

Published in 1881 the Calendar for that 1881-1882 academic year being everything you need to know in setting out to become a fully qualified Dentist of the day – the process that is not the technical detail.

Blue paper wrappers with image of the Dental Hospital at the front – and a warning re new regulations at the rear. 46 pages, saddle stitched. A little chipped as can been seen but really quite special for its age and fragility.

The London Dental Hospital was founded in 1859 a Soho Square. In 1874 it moved to Leicester Square – the School had 70-80 students on its books at the time of this document so you can imagine how scarce they are.

Contents include … Officers; Demonstrations; Dresserships; Lectures; Medical Tutor’s Classes; Fees [15 Pounds as up! 2,300 todays worth – not bad]; Prizes, Rules and regulations; Harmonised Scheme of Attendance – with other Hospitals; memberships; Fellowships; Past students etc.

Really rather interesting as an early piece of “dental ephemera”.

Dentistry schooling - wellorganised in 1881 and relatively affordable compared with today
