Abstract
ALONG the addresses received by H.M. the King after his accession to the Throne on May 6, 1910, was one from the Royal Society, in which reference was made to the interest which His Majesty, when Prince of Wales, had continually shown in the progress of discovery and invention. In consenting to succeed his father, King Edward, as Patron of the Society, King George expressed appreciation of these elements of national greatness, and assured the deputation of his “sympathy and support in your beneficent efforts for the promotion of natural knowledge”. The collection of articles which appears in this special issue of NATURE, nearly all of which are by fellows of the Society, indicates some of the directions in which these efforts have been remarkably successful by adding new realms to the empire of science and conducting profitable explorations in them.
