Abstract
RATHER more than a year ago, the secretaries of the Royal Society of Arts discovered several bundles of old letters written to the Society between 1750 and 1800. The find is rich in information relating to the then manifold activities of the Society and to the inventors of those days. The careful study of the letters by appropriate experts may be expected to throw much light on an all too little known aspect of history, that of technical progress.
