Abstract
IN this volume Sir Charles Bright has brought together interesting information regarding numerous organisations which exist to further various kinds of good work. Among those described are a number of bodies engaged in extending the services of science in various directions, such as the British Science Guild and the National Institute of Industrial Psychology. The former was founded in 1905 by the late Sir Norman Lockyer to bring together all persons throughout the Empire interested in promoting the development and applications of science. The Guild has established numerous committees, such as those on the design and manufacture of microscopes, provision of glass and other laboratory ware, and the synchronisation of clocks. In 1921 it published a “Catalogue of British Scientific and Technical Books”, containing 6627 titles, but in the 1930 edition the number of titles has grown to 13,915. Sir Samuel Hoare is president of the Guild and Sir Richard Gregory is chairman of the council of management.
