Barbers. The art of surgery was an-
ciently practised in this city by none
but the Barbers, who were incorporated
by letters patent granted by King Ed-
ward IV. in the Year 1461, and in
1512 an act was passed to prevent any
persons besides the Barbers practising
surgery within the city of London, and
seven miles round. At length several
persons, who were not Barbers, being
examined and admitted as practitioners
in the art of surgery, the parliament
united them in the thirty-second year of
the reign of King Henry VIII. by the
appellation of the Masters or Governors of
the mystery or commonalty of Barbers and
Surgeons of the city of London; and by
this act all persons practising the art of
shaving, are strictly enjoined not to in-
termeddle with that of surgery, except
what belongs to drawing of teeth.
This this company obtained the name
of Barber-Surgeons, which they conti-
nued to enjoy till the eighteenth year of
the reign of his present Majesty King
George II. when the Surgeons applying
to Parliament to have this union dis-
solved, were formed into a separate com-
pany; though the Barbers were left in
