Abstract
ON Monday, November 8, the new rooms of the Royal Society of Edinburgh were formally opened by an appropriate inaugural address from the president, Sir William Turner, followed by a brilliant reception. For the purposes of the reception the ordinary meeting-room was transformed into the cloak-room, and the president's address was delivered in the Freemasons' Hall, a few blocks further west in George Street. After the address the audience re-assembled in the society's new abode, and had every opportunity of inspecting the arrangements which had been made for the accommodation of the large and growing library and for other possessions of the society.
