The Essex Field Club is intended to band together those taking an 

 interest in Natural Science residing within or near the borders of Essex, as 

 well as in London, with the aim of creating and fostering a taste for the study 

 of Nature in the field as well as in the study. 



The Publications of the Club have gained general estimation, because 

 of the care which has been taken to confine them to their original purpose, 

 the record of investigations and elucidations of the Natural History (in its 

 widest sense), the Topography and Pre-historic Archeology, of the County 

 OF Essex. Since the foundation of the Club in 1880, over 4,500 pages-ot such 

 material have been published, and a large proportion of the articles are of value 

 to students residing outside the Club's limits.
