Abstract
ON December 9, 1852, just fifty years ago, Joseph, now Lord, Lister passed his examination and was admitted a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, thereby becoming a member of the medical profession. The jubilee of such an event abroad would have been made the occasion of a congratulatory address and of the compilation of a notable “Festschrift” to the honour of the great master of antiseptic surgery. Here we do things differently, and it has been reserved for the British Medical Journal to issue a Lister Jubilee number, in which eminent men of various nationalities give their appreciation of Lister's life-work.
