    In a Lecture which I gave in January, 1S42, on the Progress of Physical Science (printed at the request of the Proprietors), I have briefly enunciated the propositions which were explained and illustrated by the Course of 1843, of which Course a tolerably full report appears in the Literary Gazette for January, 1844. As it would interrupt the consecutive developement of my own ideas were I fre- quently to quote, in the body of this paper, authorities either opposing or coinciding with them, and as I might also be charged with misconstruction of their views, I give, at the conclusion, references to such passages of different authors, published previously to my Lectures, as I have, since then’ date, found in any way bearing upon the views I have ventured to put forth: most of these were kindly furnished me by Mr. Brayley. My professional occupations having compelled me to resign an office which I held for five years, I cannot let this opportunity pass without expressing my grateful sense of the uniform kindness I have received from the Proprietors of The London Institution. 4, Hare Court, Temple, August 31, 1846.
