Abstract
DR. BALFOUR STEWART concludes his excellent Lecture lately delivered at Owens College, Manchester, and published in your number for Oct. 20th, with a broad classification of experimental and observational work into work requiring much time and work requiring comparatively little time for its execution. This appears to me a very useful suggestion. Dr. Stewart then goes on to say that the work requiring short periods of time “may be furthered with much advantage in institutions such as Owens College.” And he adds that the same objects are at present aided by the Government grant of 1,000/. so carefully administered by the Rsoyal Society; but he thinks this grant might be advantageously increased. In all this I quite agree with him.
