Abstract

IT is stated that the Council of the British Association for the Advancement of Science have determined to ask the permission of the Lord President of the Council to appear before him as a Deputation, to urge upon the Government the need of a Royal Commission to inquire into the Present State of Science in England. We may congratulate ourselves that in Lord De Grey we have a Minister whose well-known large and scientific sympathies ensure a careful consideration of the important proposition to be laid before him.
