Abstract

John Coakley Lettsom (1744-1815) helped found the Medical Society of London in 1773. Its headquarters are in an elegant Regency building in central London, which contains a medical historical treasure trove. It celebrated its three hundredth session of lectures and social functions in 2003. Since 1850 the Presidency has been for one year only. In 1971 a group photograph of Presidents was arranged and a brief account of each of these distinguished men is given in the order of his seniority in the office.
