“The Society for the Encouragement of Literature and Science”

Abstract

THE attention of the Council of the Geological Society has been called to the prospectus of a “Society for the Encouragement of Literature and Science,” in which the letters “F.G.S.” are appended to the name of one of the vice-presidents and to that of the “Secretary-in-Chief.” I have been directed by the Council to make it generally known that neither of these gentlemen is a Fellow of the Geological Society, as would naturally be inferred from their use of these letters, and I shall feel greatly obliged by your insertion of this note in your columns.
