    Object history
    Paul Buissiere, 'A Triple Bladder', Phil. Trans., vol. 22, no. 268 (1700), pp. 752-55, where it is said that it was shown at the Royal Society. The triple bladder of the 'late Mr Booth' was dissected in the presence of 'Drs Dawes, [Hugh] Chamberlain, [John] Wooodward, and Mr [Charles] Bernard the surgeon' (p. 752).

    At the meeting of the Royal Society on 22 May 1700, '[Mr Bussierie] shewed a human bladder, which was treble, and in the inside glandulous coat' (JBO/9/183).
