    From Messrs . Charles Griffin & Co , — 'Year- I Book of the Scientific and Learned Societies of I Great — - Britain - ^^ and — Ireland — w : — * g ^^ m ivi — ng f ^^ an account ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^^ ~^ ^^ of ^^^ ^^

    their Origin , Constitution , and Working . With Appendix , comprising a list of the leading Scientific Societies throughout the World . First

    Annual Issue , 1884 . The statement in the meet preface a that want this long work £ felt has by been scientific prepared workers to

    — —~ j ~ j — — - - — ~^~ •— — — — generally / is more than justified by the fact , for while the number of learned societies in London , in the Provinces , and in Europe has been legion ,

    there has been no available record of their objects , offices , officers and rules of membership . Following the plan on which the British Association

    arranges its several departments , the editor has classified the Societies under fourteen heads : science generally f ; mathematics 1 and hysics

    chemistry — ^^—j and photograp ^^— v- . — - - ^^ " h ^^ y ; ^^ w » geology —m- V ™ ^^ , ^— - ^^ geograp ™ p HV ^^^^^ W ^*^ ^ h ^*^^ y ^^ , ;^ and mineralogy ; biology , including microscopy and anthropology ; economic science and statistics ;

    mechanical science and architecture ; naval and military science ; agriculture and horticulture ; law ; medicine ; literature ; ; psychology and

    archaeology . The objects of each society are briefly but sufficiently indicated , the chief officers are namedand the rules of membership and

    , terms of subscription are given . As the details are gathered from information officially supplied , they may be accepted as trustworthyand when

    the M promise ^ M of the ^ ~ — preface is fulfilled ^ M , -W and the — ^^ ^ titles of the papers read before the various societies are given in each annual issue—a somewhat

    formidable undertaking—the volume will be an index to a vast amount of information which , although existingis often comparatively lost

    because there is no , moans of reaching it . The omissions in the book will doubtless be supplied in future volumesand among- them we may note

    the Musical Associatio , n , which is essentially a learned society , and as such is entitled to a place in the register .
