| Description | 'Dear Sir,
Your application for a grant of the Royal Society's publications has been under consideration, and I regret to inform you that, having regard to the pressure on its funds, the Society does not see its way to accede to your request to receive its publications gratuitously.
I am however directed to point out that the Philosophical Transactions [of the Royal Society] are on sale at moderate prices, advertised as the volumes and numbers come out, and the Proceedings [of the Royal Society] may be subscribed for in advance at the low rate of 15/- per volume for Series A, and 20/- per volume for Series B.' |
