De prescientia Dei.

The art of surgery was anciently practised in this city only by the barbers, who were incorporated by letters patent, granted by King Edward IV. in the year ; and, in , an act was passed to prevent any persons besides the barbers from practising surgery within the city of London, and miles round, except such as were duly examined and admitted by the bishop of London, or the dean of , and such persons expert in surgery, as they shall think proper to call to their assistance. At length several persons, who were not barbers, being examined and admitted as practitioners in the art of surgery, the parliament united them in the year of the reign of king Henry VIII. by the appellation of

The master or governors of the mystery or commonalty of barbers and surgeons of the city of London;

and by this act, all persons practising the art of shaving, were strictly enjoined not to intermeddle with that of surgery, except what belonged to drawing of teeth. Thus this company obtained the name of barber-surgeons, which they continued to enjoy till the eighteenth year of the reign of George the , when the surgeons applying to parliament to have this union dissolved, were formed into a separate company; though the barbers were left in possession of the hall and theatre, and were constituted a body politic, under the name of

The master, governors, and commonalty of the mystery of barbers of London.

Barbers hall is situated in , Cripplegate.

This is a livery company, under the government of a master, wardens, and assistants.
