Abstract
IN 1881 the Mianowski Institution was founded at Warsaw with the object of promoting the interests of science in Poland. During many years the Institution had to struggle with the suspicious hostility of the Russian Government; notwithstanding bureaucratic cavil and quibble, the Institution edited between 1881 and 1916 more than 1000 volumes of scientific publications (originally written in Polish or translated), assisted hundreds of Polish scientific men in their work, subsidised various laboratories and research institutes, and accomplished much other valuable scientific and national work.
