Abstract
IN order to mark the completion of a quarter of a century's scientific work in the county of Essex, the above society has published the first issue of a “Yearbook and Calendar” which will be found of interest to all who follow the work of our local scientific societies. This extremely active association was founded in 1880 by Mr. William Cole, the first president being Prof. Meldola. The work of the club has been noticed from time to time in our columns, and the present “Yearbook” contains, as an appropriate opening chapter, a history of the society by Mr. Miller Christy, who is now president. That the club has carried out the objects for which it was founded, and that it has more than justified its existence, is made perfectly clear in this introductory chapter. As the author says, “there is in Essex no other organised scientific body having the same or similar aims.”
