Abstract
THE able article which appeared in your last number (p. 49) under the title of “Politics and the Presidency of the Royal Society,” raises a question of such magnitude, not only in its relation to science, but also to many other branches of human activity, that I trust to your courtesy and impartiality to give me an opportunity of briefly indicating some considerations calculated to lead to a conclusion different from that at which the writer of the article in question has arrived.
