secure that the Society shall not at any time incur 
greater pecuniary responsibilities than its funds for the 
time being will properly warrant, in future all applica¬ 
tions for money votes for educational purposes, for the 
year, shall be lodged with the Secretary of the Society 
not later than the first day of July annually, and that 
the Coimcil shall decide on the reply to be given to each 
application at its usual monthly meeting in October. 
In the interval between the date of the applications and 
that at which the Council shall give their decision upon 
them the Local Secretaries, or other parties appointed 
for the purpose by the Council, shall examine into the 
respective merits of each case, and report on the same to 
the Council, for its guidance in duly proportioning the 
amount to be granted to each applicant.” 
Those of our readers who are interested in the 
important question of pharmaceutical education 
will be glad to learn that in deference to the desire 
which has been expressed for the opinions of the 
Frofessors in the Society’s School of Pharmacy, 
Professor Attfield intends to read a paper at the 
meeting of the British Pharmaceutical Conference 
at Brighton, on the 13th August, which it is hoped 
will lead to a general discussion on the whole 
subject. 
THE SCIENTIFIC MEETINGS AT BRIGHTON. 
As the month of August approaches, during which 
the annual meetings of the British Association and 
of the British Pharmaceutical Conference are to be 
held, the central and local officials of those Societies 
are giving evidence of their intention, so far as pos¬ 
sible, to make 1872 a notable year in their history. 
The Secretaries of the Pharmaceutical Conference 
are preparing for issue a circular to members, in 
which it is stated the Meeting for 1872 will be held 
in the Royal Pavilion, under the presidency of Mr. 
H. B. Brady, F.L.S., F.C.S. On Tuesday, the 13th, 
at 10 a.m., the President will deliver an address; 
the reading and discussion of papers on pharmaceu¬ 
tical subjects will then commence, be continued in 
the afternoon till 4.30, and be carried on during 
Wednesday; an adjournment from 12.30 till 2.0 
each day. 
The meeting room will be open as a reception 
r oom for members, from 9 a.m. to G p.m., on Monday, 
August 12th, Tuesday, August 13th, and Wednesday, 
August 14tli. 
Members intending to be present are requested to 
communicate at once with the Local Secretaiy of 
the Conference, Mr. T. Glaisyer, 11, North Street, 
Brighton, or the local Vice-President, Mr. W. D. 
Savage, 4, Park Road East, Brighton, who will give 
all information concerning hotel accommodation, 
railway routes, etc., and engage rooms for any mem¬ 
bers. 
Brighton is generally well known and much ap¬ 
preciated for the extent and beauty of its sea-front: 
from Hove on the w r est to Hemp Town on the east is 
a drive of three miles unequalled in the kingdom. 
The promenades (East and West), with the two piers, 
each extending nearly a quarter of a mile out to sea, 
are favourite resorts. The Marine Aquarium, the 
largest in the world, is expected to be opened in time 
for the visit of the British Association and the British 
Pharmaceutical Conference. The Public Free 
Library and Museum, a building of considerable 
extent erected on the Pavilion Estate by the Town 
Council, is fully expected to be opened in the course 
of a few weeks. The contents of the old Museum,, 
with considerable additions, will be transferred to 
the new Buildings, and from sources of great attrac¬ 
tion. 
In the neighbourhood of Brighton is the old county 
town of Lewes, with its numerous churches, and a 
portion of the old castle containing an antiquarian 
collection ; also Arundel Castle, Keep, and Park, the 
property of the Duke of Norfolk. From the Devil's 
Dyke, five miles from Brighton, a fine view, extend¬ 
ing over portions of seven counties, may be obtained. 
The proximity of Brighton to London, and the 
railway facilities specially offered for the occasion, 
will probably ensure a large attendance of members, 
and contribute to the success of the meeting for 1872. 
The general secretaries also announce that the 
local members of the Conference at Brighton propose 
to invite their brethren from a distance to a dinner, 
on Tuesday evening, August 13tli. 
Several papers are already promised for the meet¬ 
ing, and the subject of Pharmaceutical education will 
probably be very fully discussed. 
The Secretaries of the British Association have also 
issued a circular stating that the forty-second meet¬ 
ing will commence at Brighton on Wednesday the 
14tli August, on which day Professor Sir William 
Thomson, LL.D., F.It.S. will resign the chair, and. 
Dr. W. B. Carpenter, LL.D., F.R.S., will assume 
the Presidence and deliver an address. The various, 
sections will then meet for the reading of papers at 
11 o’clock, a.m., on the 15tli, 16th, 17th, 19tli and 20tK 
August. On Thursday evening, August 15th, at 
8 p.m., there 'will be a Soiree ; on Friday evening, 
August 16th, at 8.30 p.m., a Discourse; on Monday* 
evening, August 19th, at 8.30 p.m., a Discourse ; on 
Tuesday evening, August 20tli, at 8 p.m., a Soiree;, 
on Wednesday, August 21st, the Concluding General 
Meeting will be held at 2.30 p.m. On Thursday, 
August 22nd, excursions will be made to places of 
interest in the neighbourhood of Brighton. 
We are informed that a lady recently deceased 
has left a legacy of T500, free of legacy duty, to the- 
Benevolent Fund of the Pharmaceutical Society.. 
We believe that similar legacies have been left to- 
the Royal Free Hospital, The Samaritan, St. 
George’s, Westminster, St. Thomas’s, Middlesex, 
Great Northern, Charing Cross, King’s Cross, and 
the Brompton Cancer and Consumption Hospitals, 
and various other benevolent institutions.
