Abstract
OCCASIONS may sometimes arise, and in fact have already arisen, when it becomes a necessity for a journal like ourselves, devoted exclusively to scientific matters, to direct some attention to what is going on around it in the general world. One of these lately occurred, and caused us to make the remarks we did recently on the apathy displayed by the Government towards scientific research. This week, in a similar manner, we desire to call the attention of our readers to some proceedings which took place on the 23rd ult. in Manchester. This we do because of the great interest these proceedings have to all scientific men, both on account of the ultimate benefit science generally will attain through them, and also on account of some one or two very remarkable speeches made on the occasion.
