Abstract
THE sweeping condemnation of the Photographic Society conveyed in an article in NATURE, vol. ix. p. 263, can only have been written under a want of knowledge or misrepresentation of facts. I will not say one word about any dissension which may exist in the Society, but as the statements you have published are calculated to injure the Society very materially, I will ask you, in common justice, to make public the transactions of the Society for the past year, so that the readers of NATURE may judge for themselves whether in a body which does not profess to be a purely scientific one, science is altogether ignored, whether “no man of eminent scientific capacity takes part,” and whether the society is altogether beneath contempt as at present conducted. This I ask you to do not only in justice to the society, but to the gentlemen whose names are mentioned below.
