DR. FRANCIS BERNARD, 1627-1698

Dr. Francis Bernard was born in 1627. He was a Fellow of the College of
Physicians, Assistant-Physician to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, and
Physician-in-Ordinary to King James II. He died on the 9th of February
1698, and was buried in the parish church of St. Botolph, London, where
his wife erected a monument to his memory.

Dr. Bernard formed a very extensive library, which consisted, 'more
especially of that sort of Books which are out of the Common Course,
which a Man may make the Business of his Life to collect, and at last
not be able to accomplish.'[47] It was very rich in works relating to
medicine, and it also contained a considerable number of early English
books, among which were about a dozen Caxtons. The collection was sold
by auction shortly after Bernard's death. The title-page of the sale
catalogue reads:--'A Catalogue of the Library of the late learned Dr.
Francis Bernard, Fellow of the College of Physicians, and Physician to
S. Bartholomew's Hospital. Being a large Collection of the best

and English Tongues, in all Volumes, which will be sold by Auction at
the Doctor's late Dwelling House in Little Britain; the Sale to begin on
Tuesday, Octob. 4, 1698.' A copy of the catalogue, with the prices in
manuscript, is in the British Museum. The sale consisted of nearly
fifteen thousand lots and thirty-nine bundles of tracts, which realised
nineteen hundred and twenty pounds; the expenses of the sale amounting
to three hundred and twenty pounds. The Caxtons sold for a little over
two guineas. _The Dictes or Sayin
