A Warington's Universal Microscope Mr. J. E. Ingpen. 



Attention was specially called to several of these by the Secretary, 

 as follows : A copy of " Adams on tlie Microscope," second edition 1798, 

 presented by the Committee of the Sunday ScIldoI Union, and rendered 

 complete by the presentation of the volume of plates, contributed by 

 Mr. F. A. Parsons. Two works on Microscopy had also been presented 

 by gentlemen who in one case had been and in the other was at the 

 present time, a Fellow of the Society and President of the Quekett Club, 

 the former being by Mr. W. Charters White and the latter by Mr. E. J. 

 Spitta. Mr. Spitta's work was of a very complete character, so that it 

 was certain to be a valuable book of reference and instruction. 



A further donation to the Society was one of Warington's Universal 

 Microscopes, presented by Mr. J. E. Ingpen. 



Mr. Pousselet said this was a very ingeniously constructed portable 

 form of Microscope, capable of being used in an upright, slanting, or 

 horizontal position, and was interesting as having once belonged to 

 Dr. W. B. Carpenter, who frequently made use of it and was fond of 

 working with it. Mr. Ingpen acquired it at the sale of Dr. Carpenter's 

 instruments, and the Society was very glad to possess it. 



On the motion of the Chairman a very hearty vote of thanks was 

 passed to the donors of these presents.
