Book Description
Excerpt from Conferences Held in Connection With the Special Loan Collection of Scientific Apparatus, 1876 The Conferences in connection with the Special Loan Collection of Scientific Apparatus at South Kensington Museum, of which these volumes form a record, originated in a suggestion contained in a letter addressed by the Right Hon. Viscount Sandon, m.p., vice-president of the Committee of Council on Education, to the Presidents of the vaiious Learned Societies. In this letter his lordship stated that it had been represented to the Lords of the Committee of Council on Education that the utility of the approaching Loan Collection of Scientific Apparatus would be much enhanced, both to the English and to the Foreign men of Science who might be expected to visit it, if arrangements were made for explaining and demonstrating the method Of using the various instruments, as well as for reading papers on, and discussing, scientific subjects; and he added that their lordships would be glad to afford every facility for earring out this proposal, and they desired to suggest, that with this view the various learned Societies should organise a series of Conferences similar to the sectional meetings of the British Association for the Advancement of Science.
