Abstract
THE address to which the members of the Society of Arts were so good as to afford a favourable reception at the opening meeting of last Session, was in great measure devoted to topics suggested by the International Health Exhibition of that year.. Wide as was the scope of that Exhibition, which dealt not only with the necessaries and comforts of life, and the promotion of bodily health in the feeding, clothing, and housing of all classes, but also with the all-important subjects of physical and mental training, the Exhibition of Inventions—which has just terminated a prosperous and, I believe, a very useful career —embraced a wealth of material for study which could bear comparison, as regards extent and interest, with that presented by any one of the great International Exhibitions of former years, the initiation of which we owe to that illustrious Prince whose memory the Society of Arts delights to honour.
