Nineteenth Century Universities
No new universities were founded in the United Kingdom after Edinburgh until the eighteenth century with the establishment of a number of the London colleges, for example St George's (1733), The London Hospital Medical College (1785) and the Royal Veterinary College (1791). These later became part of the University of London.
