to indicate any strong feeling in favour of an extension of Government patron¬ 
age for the encouragement of science, but showed rather a tendency to advocate 
a better application of the funds at present contributed by the State for such

tentive consideration of the Government, seemed to hold out no prospect of any 
change being made in the existing arrangements. 
PORTRAIT OF JACOB BELL. 
In our number for January we alluded to the engraving of Sir Edwin Land¬ 
seer’s portrait of Jacob Bell, which has been executed by the artists brother, 
Mr. Thomas Landseer, in his best style, and copies of which may be obtained of 
Mr. Bremridge, at 17, Bloomsbury Square. The original painting is the pro¬ 
perty of the Treasurer, Mr. T. H. Hills, who proposes to make the sale of the 
engravings a means of providing a sum in the form of an endowment, to be ap¬ 
plied to such objects in connection with the Pharmaceutical Society as may 
appear to present the strongest claims. In our former notice we spoke of the 
profits resulting from the sale of the engravings being thus applied, but we now 
find that the Treasurer’s liberality far exceeds this, for he bears the whole ex¬ 
pense of the engraving and printing, and proposes to apply for the benefit of 
the Society the entire proceeds resulting from the sale.
