The British Association

Abstract

PLYMOUTH, Tuesday THERE is every sign that the meeting of the British Association for 1877 will be a very successful one as far as attendance is concerned. It is too early in the day to quote figures, but in the spaces of time between the arrival of one London train and another a marked difference may be seen in the reception-room, and the clerks at the tables are already under a state of siege taking subscriptions, issuing tickets, answering innumerable questions, and indeed converting themselves into a long book-shelf of encyclopædias of useful knowledge.
