Abstract
THE combination of vigorous intellect, profound knowledge, and scrupulous integrity, is not so common among our legislators that a good citizen, whatever his political convictions, can have any feeling but one of satisfaction at the entrance into the House of Commons of the new member designate for the University of Cambridge. Prof. Stokes's foes (if indeed he have any foes), no less than his friends, will concur in attributing these qualifications to him. No man in the scientific world is, or deserves to be, more respected or more popular.
