PRESENTATION TO DB. f. BAKER EDWARDS AT LIVERPOOL. 
During the past" few months it had become generally known that John Baker Ed¬ 
wards, Ph.D., F.C.S., was about to leave Liverpool and take up his residence in Canada ; 
and there being a general desire expressed by his friends resident in that town that some 
compliment should be paid him prior to his departure for the western hemisphere, a 
meeting was called, and, after some discussion as to the manner of carrying it into effect, 
■—some gentlemen advocating an invitation to a public dinner, while others considered 
that something permanently useful would be more appropriate,—the following resolu¬ 
tion was agreed to:— 
“ That this meeting approves of the suggestion of the presentation of a timepiece, or 
some other souvenir, to Dr. Edwards on his departure for Canada, as a token of the 
esteem of his friends in Liverpool; and that a committee, composed of Dr. Ginsburg, 
chairman, Dr. Nevins, treasurer, Eev. William Banister, Eev. Enoch Mellor, Messrs. 
John Abraham, Henry Walter, and John Shawq be authorized to make arrangements 
for carrying out the above object.” 
The Eev. Mr. Banister and Mr. Shaw having undertaken to act as honorary secreta¬ 
ries, a beautiful work of art and science was brought to the notice of the Committee, and 
was selected as the one for presentation. It consists of a stand of black marble, polished, 
and about 16 or 18 inches in height, and of the same width ; in the centre of the upper 
portion is a timepiece with pendulum, and on one side is a Eeaumur’s and on the other a 
Fahrenheit’s thermometer. Below these, on one side is an aneroid barometer, on the 
other is a dial, the hand of which indicates the month of the year, and two smaller 
ones indicate the day of the month and the day of the week ; the changes of the moon 
are also shown ;—the whole of these movements being regulated by ingenious mecliauism, 
and forming a useful as well as an ornamental acquisition to the dining-room or library.
