The Swiney prize was founded through a bequest made to the Royal Society of Arts by Dr George Swiney, who died on 21st January 1844 and under the terms of the will it is awarded on every fifth anniversary of the testator's death. It consists of a silver cup and £100. The prize is offered alternately for Medical and General Jurisprudence, but if at any time the committee is unable to find a work of sufficient merit in the class whose turn it is to receive the award, it is at liberty to recommend a book belonging to the other class. Under the terms of the will the adjudicators of the prize are the members of the RSA and members of the Royal College of Physicians. See Jnl vol 91 p 222 (April 1943)
