 research, the development and extension of Chemical and Physical Science. 

 The Laboratory is open free of charge to Workers of either sex, and any 

 nationality, prosecuting individual invei^tigations ; and the extensive collec- 

 tion of Physico-Chemical Apparatus presented by the Founder is available 

 for their use, together with such materials, chemicals, electricity, &c., as 

 the Directors may authorise. 



Assistants and a trained mechnnician are attached to the Laboratory to 

 aid Workers in the prosecution of their researches. 



All persons desiring to be admitted as Workers must send evidence of
