Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Royal Physical Society of Edinburgh, Vol. 1: 1854-1858
Gentlemen, - Six years have elapsed since I had the honour and the pleasure of addressing you from this chair. We were then looking back to the comparatively short period which had elapsed since, on the revival of the Society, we commenced our labours of progress. But although our term of labour had then been short, we had occupied it so successfully that I could, without ?attery or reservation, congratulate you on well executed observations, and express a confident hope that our harvest in future would be still more productive. Every suc ceeding session has fully realized our expectations; and the Physical Society, as an association energetically devoted to the study of the departments of science to which we restricted ourselves, may be viewed as an important fact.
