Viscount Grey of Fallodon, K. G., F. R. S
Viscount Grey of Fallodon, K. G. was elected into the Royal Society on 26 November 1914 under Statute 12; his proposer was the then President, Sir William Crookes. His citation makes no mention of his ability as a naturalist or of his genius in winning the confidence of wild creatures. I met him first as Visitor of my College, Balliol, and in 19271 took my wife and son Christopher to have tea with him at Fallodon, where his little estate and his …
The exhibition of Sir Cyril Hinshelwood’s paintings at Goldsmiths’ Hall on 20 March, 1968
On 20 March many of Sir Cyril Hinshelwood’s friends and pupils came to Goldsmiths’ Hall to enjoy the remarkable exhibition of his oil paintings. Cyril was a Goldsmiths’ Exhibitioner as an undergraduate and had been a liveryman of the Company since 1952. In 1960 when he was President of the Royal Society in the year of the Tercentenary Celebrations he was elected to the Court. He was the joint author of a short monograph on Gresham College and the…

Stanislao Cannizzaro, F. R. S. (1826-1910) and the first International Chemical Conference at Karlsruhe in 1860
MY interest in the Karlsruhe Conference dates from the day in 1899 when I bought for one mark the copy of Cannizzaro’s classic pamphlet, Sunto di un corso difilosophia chimica, which Pavesi gave to Hermann Kopp after the last session of the Conference, containing some notes in Kopp’s handwriting. I have always been puzzled as to why the Conference, in spite of Cannizzaro’s presence and his eloquent speeches, failed to achieve its object, and yet …
Professor Johann Burchard Mencke, F. R. S. (1674-1732)
The Tercentenary of the Royal Society was just the right occasion to revive the memory of one of its early continental Fellows, a man, who loved England as much as his own fatherland, Saxony, a man who did probably more than anyone else to spread the knowledge of English science, English history and the English way of life in Central Europe in the hey-day of continental absolutism. Johann Burchard Mencke belonged to a family of distinguished scho…

The Contributions of Sir John Lubbock, F. R. S. To The Origin of Species Some annotations to Darwin
Wealthy, titled, and strikingly handsome, the London banker, Sir John Lubbock, Lord Avebury, came near being the Leonardo of Victorian England. As a Liberal in Parliament for over two score years, he is perhaps chiefly remembered as the author of the Bank Holiday (St Lubbock’s Day). As a scientist his work in biology, geology, and anthropology brought him the respect and friendship of Darwin, Lyell, and Huxley. In the course of a long life he lec…
The tercentenary of the Royal Society’s Charter
In July 1960 we celebrated the Tercentenary Year of the formal constitution of the Society by our Founders, when for the first time in history the reigning Sovereign, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, our Royal Patron, graced our meeting with her presence. On 17 July 1962 we celebrate the Tercentenary of the passing of our first Royal Charter by the Great Seal on 15 July 1662, when our meeting will be graced by the presence of Her Majesty Queen Eli…
Conversaziones, 1962
Conversaziones were held this year on 10 May and 28 June, and in addition a further special reception on 17 July was held to celebrate the tercentenary of the granting of the Society’s first Charter. An account of this reception will be found on page no. At the first conversazione on 10 May there were 27 exhibits and a film. An exhibit of great interest was provided by the National Institute for Medical Research which showed some of the recent re…
Sir Paul Neile, F. R. S. (1613-1686)
SIR PAUL NEILE is the only one of the twelve founder members of the Royal Society of whom there is no record in the Dictionary of National Biography. We should know little of his activities were it not for the entries in the Journal Books of the Society and the references to him by Evelyn and in Huygens, correspondence. He was the son of Richard Neile, Archbishop of York and the father of William Neile, F.R.S. (1637-1670), a brilliant mathematici…
Epilogue
The pages of this volume bear eloquent testimony to the impetus which the early Fellows gave to experimental science both by their individual work and by the warm spirit of fellowship that bound them together from the days of their earliest meetings. These usually ended in a convivial meal, a tradition that has been perpetuated in the Royal Society Club. Looking back over the three centuries it is pertinent to survey in this Epilogue the contribu…
The Right Reverend John Wilkins, F. R. S
In the history of the Royal Society there have been certain instances of hereditary genius, but there can be few Fellows in whom the influence of both parental strains is seen so clearly as in John Wilkins. He was the son of Walter Wilkins, an Oxford citizen and goldsmith, of whom Aubrey says: ‘Mr Francis Potter knew him very well, and was wont to say was a very ingeniose man, and had a very Mechanicall head. He was much for Trying of Experiments…
William Croone, F. R. S. (1633-1684)
One day in November 1749, there was delivered to the house of the vicar of Alconbury, near Huntingdon, a recently published sermon, which gave him so much pleasure that he wrote to the author: ‘I was so delighted with it, and indeed so sensibly affected with several observations, that I intend to give it a second reading soon. You have drawn the outlines for future Preachers to fill up.’ The preacher was none other than Thomas Birch, F. R. S., re…
The Reign of Science
The Ramsay Centenary
THE Ramsay Centenary revived many memories of the excitement produced by the announcement of the discovery of argon at the British Association meeting at Oxford in August 1894, and of the incredulity freely expressed in certain quarters about the discovery during the interval before the joint paper by Rayleigh and Ramsay was read to the Royal Society in January 1895, when the critics were silenced. The isolation of the inert gases was one of the …
Richard Owen and William Clift
The life of Richard Owen by his grandson1 contains on page 258 the JL following letter from Faraday. Owen’s reply to it I found among some letters which Faraday had kept in a volume of lithograph portraits of the Honorary Members of the Ipswich Museum. ‘ Dear Owen, ‘ Who cares for bipeds or quadrupeds ? They are as common as discontent, but I think even you may be interested in a triped which I happen to possess just now, and which, if you care f…
The Berzelius centenary celebrations
ON 20 to 22 September 1948 forty representatives of foreign learned societies and universities were in Stockholm at the invitation of the Swedish Royal Academy of Science, the Royal Academy of Agriculture, the Caroline Institute and the Swedish Medical Association to join with them in their Commemoration of Jons Jakob Berzelius, who died on 7 August 1848. The opening meeting on 20 September was in the Town Hall, one of Stockholm’s most beautiful …
