Excerpt from The Journal of Microscopy and Natural Science, 1897, Vol. 7 Dear Friends, - It is with the deepest regret that I write the word which appears above. The present part completes the Sixteenth Annual Volume of the International Journal of Microscopy and Natural Science, and during the whole of those sixteen years I can honestly say that I have spared no labour to make it worthy of the name it bears. That I have succeeded in winning the approbation of a great number of subscribers I have many letters to prove. But for several years the result of the sales has not been sufficient to pay the printer's bills, and this year I feel myself so far in arrears that I dare go on no further. I cannot close without tendering my best thanks to those subscribers who have helped me by their kind support, and especially those - and they are many - who have been subscribers from the first; also to those who have contributed valuable papers, and have promised others for next year, which I shall be obliged to "decline with thanks." My thanks are also due to my publishers, Messrs. Bailliere, Tindall, and Cox, from whom I have always received the greatest courtesy and kindness.

Excerpt from The Journal of Microscopy and Natural Science, 1890, Vol. 3 This accession to our constituency will enable us to enlarge the Journal to 70 or 80 pages, and will also make it possible for us to provide additional illustra tions and papers on various branches of Natural Science. The general character and quality of the Journal will be maintained, and, we trust, improved. We beg to express the hope that our contributors and sub scribers will continue to give us their valuable help, and will do all in their power to extend the usefulness of the Journal.

Excerpt from The Journal of Microscopy and Natural Science, 1893, Vol. 12 On a recent occasion, Lord Kelvin (or rather Sir William Thomson, for he had not then risen to the rank of a "scientific peer"), in the course of a highly interesting lecture on "Motivity," remarked, with reference to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, that he would not attempt to explain the law that evening, "for," as he said, "it could not be explained satisfactorily with less than six hours of tutorial instruction." Now, the same thing is true of polarised light, but with this difference, that to explain that thoroughly, about twelve hours of "tutorial instruction" would be about the minimum.
