Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hand-Book: For the Use of Members and Visitors, Giving the Rules of the Society, Its History, and a Historical Sketch of Montreal With Places of Interest in Its Vicinity The Royal Society of Canada was founded by the Marquis of Lorne in 1882. Hitherto its annual meetings have been held in Ottawa. Last year the Natural History Society of Montreal invited the Society to meet in this city, and the invitation having been accepted, citizens´ committees were appointed to make the necessary preparations for the reception and entertainment of the Society. It was thought well that a Manual of the Royal Society, giving the main facts as to its origin, objects and operations, should be compiled and printed, and to this end a sub-committee, consisting of Dr. Bourinot, C. M. G., Hon. Secretary of the Society; Prof. Penhallow, B. Sc., and Mr. John Reade, was constituted at a meeting of the General Committee, in December. The Printing and Publishing Committee also undertook to prepare a historical and descriptive sketch of Montreal, for the benefit of the visitors, the task being entrusted to Mr. R. W. McLachlan. The two fold result is the present little volume, which, it is hoped, will prove acceptable to those for whom it is intended.
