Abstract
THIS year's meeting of the Association française pour l'avanement des Sciences was held at Lyons, and opened on the same day as the meeting of the British Association at York. On August 1, Prof. G. Lippmann, the president of the French association, delivered his presidential address,1 and by a significant coincidence dealt with the want of respect accorded to scientific research by French manufacturers and merchants on the same day that Prof. E. Ray Lankester was directing the attention of the visitors to York to the “less widespread interest than formerly in natural history and general science, outside the strictly professional arena of the school and university.”
