    APPENDIX A GUIDE TO THE LISTER COLLECTION OF RELICS, INSTRUMENTS, Etc,, in the Museum of the ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS OF ENGLAND. THE extensive collection of instruments, formerly the property of Lord Lister, was presented to the Museum by his executors, through the late Sir Rickman ]. Godlee, Bart., his nephew, in 1912. The collection is divided into three groups, viz. :— I.—Instruments designed or modified by Lister. II.—Instruments used by James Syme, of Edinburgh, Lister's father-in-law. III.—Instruments mostly given to Lister by their inventors, but were rarely used by him in his practice. The instruments in the first group are exhibited in Room I in the Museum, chiefly in a special case which also contains original drawings made by Lister, notes for lectures, letters from Pasteur to Lister, lectures on clinical surgery, commonplace books (four volumes), autograph letters from distinguished men, and illumin¬ ated addresses presented to him by various bodies.
