Abstract
THE Iron and Steel Institute held its autumn meeting in Paris on September 18 and 19, under the presidency of Sir William Roberts-Austen, K.C.B., F.R.S. Besides a long programme of ten papers, visits to the Exhibition, to the works at St. Chamond, at Hayange in Lorraine, and at St. Denis near Paris, were arranged by an influential reception committee, of which Mr. Robert de Wendel was president and Mr. Henri Vastin honorary secretary. The attendance was unusually large, and the meeting was in every respect a successful one. The proceedings began on September 18 at the house of the Société d'Encouragement, with an address of welcome by Mr. Robert de Wendel, president of the French Association of Iron-masters. Sir William Roberts-Austen, having acknowledged the welcome, delivered a presidential address dealing in faultless literary style with the history of metallurgy in France.
