7. “The Royal Society held the earlier of its two annual conversaziones last night in the rooms at Burlington-house, and this, one of the great scientific events of the season, was as usual, a brilliant success. The rooms were crowded during the evening, the guests being received by the President, Sir George Gabriel Stokes. The exhibits were as varied and as attractive as in past years, and the experiments and demonstrations especially were watched with the greatest interests by successive groups of visitors.”
