 ° ^ ' \ Microscopical Club. 



Mr. Rousselet exhibited and described an old Microscope by Cuth- 

 bert, presented to the Society by the Quekett Club. 



At the conclusion of his description of this Microscope, Mr. Rousselet 

 said that Newton's proposed Microscope of 1672 to which he had referred 

 was never actually constructed. He had, however, brought with him a 

 little modern apparatus made merely with the object of examining pic- 

 ture post-cards, which actually resembled in its construction Newton's 

 Microscope, but without the eyepiece. 



The thanks of the Society were accorded to Mr. Rousselet for his 

 exhibit.
