Abstract
THE question so pointedly at issue between Mr. Hicks and myself is one which can be settled by statistics only. NATURE would do a real service to science by collecting statistics as to the numbers of different centres (home, and foreign, separately) at which the Transactions of various scientific Societies were freely accessible in 1883 (say); and also the corresponding numbers in 1853. The Royal Society regularly publishes such information in its Transactions, so does the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
