A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Hon. Sir diaries Parsons, as President of the Association in 1919-20, suggested the compilation of this book, and his generosity has made possible its production :the compilers gratitude is due to him first of all. The General Secretaries of the Association (P rofessor H. H. Turner and Professor J. L. Myres) have advised at every stage ;these and the General Treasurer (D r. E. H. Griffiths), Sir William Herdman (past General Secretary and President), Sir Oliver Lodge (past President), Mr. T. Sheppard (of the Municipal Museums, Hull), and Mr. F. A. Bellamy (of the University Observatory, Oxford), have very kindly looked over proofs, and all have been generous with suggestions. The names of other helpers are gratefully recorded in the footnote to Chapter VI. Of the numerous published biographies consulted, those by Sir Archibald Geikie on Murchison and A C. Eamsay, and those by Dr. Leonard Huxley on T. H. Huxley and Hooker, contain notably valuable references to the A ssociation, and the compiler is proud to acknowledge the kindness of these writers, which has emboldened him to quote freely from their pages. He has also to express his sense of the courtesy of the councils and officers of the Eoyal Society and the Geological Society, the keeper of the Yorkshire Museum (D r. W. E. Collinge), the Superintendent of Kew Observatory (D r. Charles Chree), and Mr. E. H. Nichols, in lending photographs. A complete record of the work of the Association would occupy many volumes and many expert pens ;this book aims no higher than to provide a summary review of its activities, with examples.
