THE 



HISTORICAL SOCIETY 



OF 



SCIENCE. 



The object of the Historical Society of Science is to render mate- 

 rials for the history of the Sciences accessible to the general reader, by 

 the publication of manuscripts, or the reprinting of very rare works 

 connected with their origin and progress in this country and abroad. 



The plan adopted for carrying this purpose into effect is by an an- 

 nual subscription of One Pound from each Member, such Member being 

 entitled to one copy of each of the works published by the Society. 



The number of Members is limited to Six Hundred, and, until this 

 limit is attained, Members are admitted on the introduction of one of 

 the Council, or by application to the Secretary. 



All Communications relative to the Society to be addressed to the 

 Secretary, J. O. Halliwell, Esq., 35 Alfred Place, Bedford Square, 

 London. 



Bankers. — Messrs. Cocks, Biudulph, and Biddulph, 43 Charing 



Cross.
