Abstract
IT was in Sheffield that the late Dr. H. C. Sorby o1 lived and worked. It was to the Sheffield Literary and Philosophical Society that, in 1864, Sorby presented the first account of his microscopical examination of the structures of commercial steel. In Sheffield the worth of Sorby's work is now being recognised, and during the presidency of Mr. Arthur Balfour the Sheffield Society of Engineers and Metallurgists, an active and growing society closely associated with the industries of the city, has founded the “Sorby Lecture,” to “mark its progress,” and to perpetuate the memory of its late honorary member.
