TitleCopy letter from James Hopwood Jeans, Secretary of the Royal Society; to Sir Ernest Rutherford, FRS
Date30 April 1920
DescriptionExpresses concern over the rapid rise of the printing bill and suggests meeting this with an increase in the price of subscriptions to the A. 'Proceedings'. Asks Sir Ernest Rutherford if he has any ideas on how they might make the A. 'Proceedings' more attractive to the physical reader. Offers some of his own ideas, including: publishing abstracts of a descriptive type of the longer and more complicated papers, and publishing the contents of each number in the advertisement column of 'Nature'.
