Abstract
THIS week sees the opening of the seventy-seventh annul meeting of the British Association, and there are indications that at Leicester the Association will receive the heartiest of welcomes, and that the deliberations of its members will be followed with deep interest by the inhabitants generally. The financial position must be very gratifying to all concerned; the whole of the promised subscriptions are in the bank, and have earned quite a good sum as interest. When it is borne in mind that no public appeal has been made, but that the money has readily been subscribed, this happy result speaks highly as to the generosity of the townspeople and the manner in which they have been approached.
