Abstract
AS the Royal Society is now about to open a fresh page in its history, it may not be regarded as an inopportune moment to sketch the rise of scientific study in Scotland, the means and opportunities afforded for that purpose, the formation of societies and institutions for the encouragement and diffusion of science in Edinburgh; also to put in the form of a continuous narrative the chief incidents in the growth of the society during the century and a quarter that has elapsed since its foundation.
