Abstract
IN our last article under the above head we commenced our analysis of that part of the Commissioners' Report which deals with the Administration of Science. In our present article we shall conclude our notice of the Report by stating the chief arguments and opinions of the witnesses regarding the formation of a Council of Science. Thus, following the evidence of Sir Wm. Thomson and Dr. Frankland, to which we have before referred, we find Dr. Hooker, Admiral Richards, General Strachey, Dr. Roscoe, Dr. Balfour Stewart, Dr. Sclater, Mr. De la Rue, Sir H. Rawlinson, and others in favour of a Council, while the Astronomer Royal, Prof. Owen, Lord Salisbury, and Lord Derby are opposed to its formation.
