Abstract
IN the issues of NATURE for July 21 and August 4, articles giving general accounts of the local arrangements and of the main items in the sectional programmes were published. At the time of writing this article the sectional committees had not met, so that the programme of technical papers to be read before the sections cannot be fully announced. The meetings begin to-day, but already the reception room at the Guildhall has been opened, and a very large number of members have applied for reserved seats at the first general meeting, when the president will deliver his address. An exceptionally large number of tickets have already been sold, so that there is every probability that the Cambridge meeting will see one of the largest attendances the Association has known during recent years. The unusual number of foreign guests who will be present, and the many leading men of science of Great Britain who have accepted invitations will make the meeting a thoroughly representative one in all branches of science. An interesting memento of the meeting is a book of lithographed signatures of the members of the Association who were present at the first meeting in Cambridge in 1833. There are only a few of these books, and they will be on sale in the reception room during the present meeting.
