NORTH BRITISH BRANCH, EDINBURGH. 
The first meeting for session 1872-73 took place in 
the Society’s new rooms, St. Giles Street, on Friday 
evening, February 22nd, at 8.30. There was a good 
attendance; Mr. H. C. Baildon, president, in the chair. 
Apologies for absence were read from Professor Balfour 
and Professor Archer. 
The following introductory address was delivered by 
the President:— 
Although I should have preferred to have seen the 
presidential chair of the North British Branch of the 
Pharmaceutical Society occupied this year by some one 
more able than myself to fulfil the duties devolving 
upon the occupant of this honourable office, yet, as a 
mark of your continued confidence, I return you my 
best thanks for the honour' you have again conferred 
upon me. 
In my address at the opening of the last session, I 
alluded to the prospect we had of obtaining a suite of 
j rooms worthy of the position of the North British 
I Branch. The Council found it no easy matter to obtain 
premises in all respects suitable, and after a very ex¬ 
haustive search the rooms we are now in were, all things 
considered, thought the most eligible for our purpose. 
The situation is central; and if there is a difference in 
the convenience to our members, it is in favour of the 
Old Town, and this the Council thought a recommenda¬ 
tion, as hitherto the rooms occupied have been situated 
at a considerable distance from the places of business. of 
our friends on the south side. These rooms were origin¬ 
ally taken to be entered last May, but at that tune they 
were found in such an unfinished state as to determine 
the Council to postpone taking them until the present 
term. This has necessarily delayed the formation of an 
enlarged museum, and considerable additions to our 
library, but immediate steps will, I hope, now be taken 
to supply both, when we have ascertained the accommo¬ 
dation afforded by our cases for the proper reception of 
books and specimens, and when we have reported the 
same to the London Council. I hope this session will be 
quite equal to its predecessors in the arrangements for 
our evening meetings for scientific purposes. Our inde¬ 
fatigable honorary secretary informs me that Professor 
Crum Brown has promised a paper for our December 
meeting, Dr. Stevenson Macadam a lecture in January, 
Dr. Mackendrick in February, Professor Archer in 
March, and Dr. Arthur Gamgee for April, when our 
session closes. This arrangement by no means pre¬ 
cludes our own members from reading papers between 
those periods. That vexed question, “ What is the best 
mode of providing for the education of the rising genera- 
| tion of pharmacists has been discussed both at the 
Pharmaceutical Conference at Brighton, and in the 
Pharmaceutical Journal by the numerous letters which 
have appeared in its pages, but I do not think the pro¬ 
blem is yet solved. I have carelully read the various
