Abstract
THE address of the President and Report of the Council of the Meteorological Society of England for the present year will be read with a lively interest, awakened and strengthened by a growing conviction that the Society has reached a critical turning point in its history. Hitherto the Society has been regarded as little more than an association of amateur meteorologists,—the national work, falling properly within the province of such a society, of collecting the data of observation for the elucidation of the laws of the weather and climate of England, having been independently carried out by their late energetic, able, and popular secretary, Mr. Glaisher, whose great and in many respects valuable labours in this department are somehow passed over in the documents before us.
