Manley Sims and "Manley Sims Eton Collection" ink stamp to title page,:Francis Manley Sims (F.R.C.S.) was a 19th-century physician and surgeon based in London's West End. A dedicated book collector, he is best known to historians for assembling the notable "Manley Sims Collection" of rare books and Etoniana, which he donated to his alma mater, Eton College.Born on June 19th, 1841, at Stoke-by-Nayland, Suffolk, the son of the Rev Frederick Sims, Rector of West Bergholt, Essex, and Fellow of Exeter College, Oxford. He spent his early life in Suffolk, and was educated at Colchester Grammar School. Shortly before he was 16 he was apprenticed to the then well-known practitioner, Thomas Young, of Sackville Street, W, and soon entered as a student at St George's Hospital. Rising very early - at five o'clock every morning - he studied medicine and modern languages before beginning the work of the day with his principal, and was thus able to carry off all the prizes at his hospital, where he was appointed House Surgeon, and afterwards Demonstrator of Physiology. He started practice in Down Street, Mayfair, and in 1870 joined partnership with William Fuller, of 111 Piccadilly, whose niece he married in 1875. In 1884, on the virtual retirement of William Fuller, he was joined in partnership by H Roxburgh Fuller, of Curzon Street, who remained with him to the end.Manley Sims became a most fashionable physician, with probably the largest West-End practice, and his life was one of tireless labour. As of old he rose very early, and was often on his rounds in his brougham before breakfast. He was seldom in bed after 5.30 am, whatever the duties of the previous night had been, and during the whole of this enormously long working day his powers of close attention, accurate insight, and sympathy remained unabated. It is to his credit that he was very helpful and generous to poor patients, and possessing, as he did, the ear of a wealthy and influential clientele, he could often contrive a scheme of assistance in cases of sickness and misery that was practical besides being well meant. To do so was the greatest possible source of pleasure to him. He was a firm and generous friend, an interesting companion, full of reminiscences and experiences, and well read.Abbey, Scenery, no. 440.
