TllANSACTIONS OF THE PlIAKMACEUTICAL SOCIETY.

Beansgate, Manchester, January 24, 1867. 
Dear Sir,—Thanks for your kindness in sending the information, which I shall find 
valuable ; with regard to your request to publish my letter, you may act as you think 
discreet, although I never intended or thought you would publish it, and perhaps was 
not as guarded in the language as I might have been—still I leave it with you. 
With regard to what may be done in Manchester or elsewhere, it is not for me to say 
in the absence of any meeting, but I can tell you we shall look after our interests in 
Parliament,—a tribunal which, I have no doubt, will respect the interests of those who 
are in business and have legally served their time to the business. Individually, I should 
very much like the whole body of chemists members of the Pharmaceutical Society, if 
the terms offered are honourable. 
Yours in haste, very sincerely. 
To Mr. Bremridge. Wm. Bowkek.
