Abstract
THE scene in the theatre of the University of London on Thursday last was in many respects unique. It will certainly be historical. It was unique in that the Royal Society had formally invited members of two other scientific bodies to attend the meeting, and had left the comparative seclusion of Burlington House to meet, in Burlington Gardens, an audience numbering at least eight hundred. It was the first of a series of discussion meetings to which, we suppose, similar invitations will be issued; but it will be long before the same eagerness to obtain a ticket is displayed—long before those who gain admission, will listen to so much worth hearing.
