Edited In London: QUAIN, SIR Richard, British physician, cousin of Jones and Richard Quain (qq.v.) : b. Mallow, County Cork, Ireland, Oct. 30, 1816; d. London, England, March 13, 1898. He studied medicine in University College, London, whence he was graduated in 1840. He was elected a member of the Royal College of Physicians in 1846 and he was president of the General Medical Council from 1891 (when he was created a baronet) until his death. His practice in London was large and lucrative and besides publishing several medical treatises he edited a well-known Dictionary of Medicine (1882; 3d ed., 1902).Unlike New York, for example, it is the seat of government; unlike Moscow, it is a great port. It houses both a royal court and universities along with one of the greatest art galleries and one of the greatest museums in the world, which includes one of the greatest libraries. The daily newspapers with their multi-million circulations, which are read all over Britain, are edited in London. London is the place, therefore, where important people of all kinds meet to discuss important matters.
QUAIN, kwan, Jones, British anatomist: b. Ratheahy, County Cork, Ireland, November 1796; d. London, England, Jan. 31, 1865.
