?? He was admitted a Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians in 1817 was elected a fellow of the Royal Society.

This is ungrammatical. There should at least be an "and" in there, but from this material (and the source isn't on line*) there's no way of knowing where to put it—

  1. He was admitted a Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians, and in 1817 was elected a fellow of the Royal Society.
  2. He was admitted a Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians in 1817, and was elected a fellow of the Royal Society.

—and therefore which of those is correct.
