Abstract
When, in reviewing Prof. Stokes' Reprint, I spoke of “the almost inaccessible volumes of the Cambridge Philosophical Transactions,” I was referring expressly to the Transactions only, and to the period 1845-54. That there are now 120 “centres” in which “Transactions or Proceedings, or both” are accessible, is an interesting and important fact, but wholly beside the question raised by my remark. [I leave out of account copies sent to Honorary Fellows; for these are not more accessible than those obtained by Ordinary Fellows.]
