Mr. Jas. More, jun., stated in the letter which accompanied the old 
Microscope presented by him that he had met with it at a dealer’s in 
Edinburgh, and thinking it might be of interest, he had forwarded it for 
the acceptance of the Society if they found it to be so. 
Mr. E. M. Nelson thought this little instrument was of great interest, 
as it contained a record that it had been originally purchased in 1775. 
In this Microscope a combination of three types could be found, viz. 
the Wilson screw-barrel (1702), the Culpeper stand (1738), and the 
John Marshall focusing screw (1704). Perhaps the chief interest lay 
in the oval mirror, of which this was the earliest known example. In 
conclusiou, he congratulated the Society on the valuable addition their 
collection of old instruments had received through the generosity of 
one of their Fellows, Mr. More.
