Abstract
As mentioned in Chapter 1, the Brown Institution was staffed by a remarkable series of Superintendents, seven out of eight of whom were, or became, Fellows of the Royal Society. Much of the research work they undertook has already been referred to in preceding chapters, but it seems only fitting that something should be said about their personalities and careers. In preparing the short accounts that follow, I am greatly indebted to obituary notices in the various scientific journals, especially those in the Proceedings of the Royal Society; to the pen sketches given by Professor Sharpey-Schafer (1927) in his History of the Physiological Society;and to the Memoirs in book form of Sir John Burdon-Sanderson by his wife (1911)and of Sir Victor Horsley by Sir Stephen Paget (1919).
