| Title | Copy letter from Michael Foster and Arthur William Rucker, to the President of the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, U.S.A. |
| Date | 31 May 1899 |
| Description | On the 17 November last year the President of the Royal Society sent a letter to the Academie des Sciences of Paris, the Reale Accademia dei Lincei of Rome, ad the Academie Imperiale des Sciences of St Petersburg in reference to a proposal that the leading Academies should meet at intervals to discuss matters which might demand international co-operation. A similar letter was subsequently addressed to the National Academy of Sciences of Washington.
The letter was written in consequence of what had taken place at a meeting of German Academies at Gottingen in June [1898] at which representatives of the Royal Society were present. Refers to an invitation to a meeting at Wiesbaden on 9 and 10 October, which is intended to be a preliminary one for the purpose of discussing the mode in which such an Association of Academies can be best organized.
[Also addressed to the Academie [Imperiale] des Sciences, St Petersburg; Academie des Sciences l'Insititut, Paris; and Reale [Accademie] dei Lincei, Rome] |
