Scope and content
Gives news of London and the College. The "subject of the Exhibition is very stale here". Richard Potter, juror in optical instruments 'in nearly every lecture talks vaguely about that Crystal place where gentlemen are waiting for him to inspect air pumps and microscopes'. Mr Watts "has come to the conclusion that it [Potter] is an ass". Williamson, Brodie and others think that a lecture by Faraday on 'Schonbein's Ozone' is "arrant humbug". 'It seems evident that it is in many cases Nitric Oxide which acts as Ozone'.
