Letter from Norman Macleod of the Science and Art Department, London SW to The Secretary, Royal Society, Burlington House 'Adverting as to the enquiries as to the Vote for Scientific Reserch, i am directed by the Lords of the Committee of Concil on Education to call the attention of the Council of the Royal Society to the Estimates for the financial year 177-8, from which it will be perceived that the original vote of £1000 will be accounted for, as hitherto, by the Treasury, whilst this Department will only account for the additional vote of £4000.' 21 February 1877
