Homoeopathy and the Royal College of Physicians, London, a primary document from 1852 digitized and hosted by PubMed Central under the US National Library of Medicine, reproduces a letter from the College's president, John Ayrton Paris, replying to a homeopathic practitioner's application for examination for the Doctor of Medicine degree, in which the College states it regards homeopaths as neither skillful nor safe practitioners. Its authority is that of the original institutional correspondence itself, preserved and made accessible through modern digitization. Its limit is that it records one institution's nineteenth century position, not a scientific evaluation of homeopathy. Cite it for the College's own historical stance.
