Abstract
THE year of Jubilee has come, and on all sides we hear of proposals to make it memorable in one way or another. It is right that the completion of fifty years of such a glorious reign as that of the present Queen should be celebrated by all kinds of noble effort, and the more the future greater well-being of the Queen's subjects is considered in those efforts, the more lasting such memorials will prove. But, so far, the word Science has scarcely been mentioned either in summing up the progress of the nation during the last fifty years, or in considering how science should have its place among the memorials by which this year is to be marked out from among its fellows.
