Abstract
AS you told us, sir, two days ago in your admirable address, the century now drawing to an end is most honoured in the close union of men of science of all nations. If, owing to stupid prejudices and barbaric hate, nations are still separated by divisions which may lead them into fratricidal war, it falls to the men of science at least to set the example of concord, in order that by their teaching, based on reason, they may bring to all peace, sweet peace—the chimæra of the past, the hope of us all to-day, the reality of to-morrow. To this end nothing can be more effective than the great example of the British Association and the Association Française, who, within the space of a few days, are to meet twice as partners in their fertile work: to-morrow on English soil, in this hospitable town of Dover; five days later on the soil of France, on the shores you can see from here, where you will find the same courteous and cordial welcome as our countrymen will receive on this side.
