TitlePress cuttings relating to the Royal Society: general
Date5 July 1906-5 October 1908
DescriptionPress cuttings and other printed information concerning the Royal Society. Compiled by the organisation's staff. Cuttings include accounts of the Royal Society's conversaziones, anniversary meetings and other events. Other content: Dr E Ray Lankester and the Natural History Museum (pp.7-11); radium controversy (pp.11-15); discovery of the cause of sleeping sickness (p.17, p.23, pp.35-41 and loose cuttings); Malta Fever (pp.27-31). Other topics are highly varied. There are letters to the editors of the various newspapers.

The volume is mostly blank, with only the early section pp.1-42 used to paste in material. Following this, the practice of compiling general and biographical books ceases, the two being combined. These cuttings are attributed to the source newspaper and dated in manuscript. A paper label on the cover is inscribed: 'June 5th/1906-1908 [1909 overwritten] Royal Society Scrap Book General.'
