• In June 1871 there was a vigorous debate in the columns of Nature following the success of a series of penny lectures given in Manchester by Roscoe, Huxley and Lockyer. A National Society to diffuse scientific knowledge was suggested. A letter from Thomas Fawcett on June 8th, 1871 countered that lectures were of little value and only science in every school would succeed in spreading popular scientific knowledge and appreciation.

An Elementary Textbook of Dynamics and Hydrostatics , London : Blackie . 3rd edition, contained definitions of kinematics, dynamics, statics, gravity, friction, uniform circular motion, pendulum, work and energy, forces, machines, hydrostatics, density and gases and aimed to prepare students for the D.S.A., University of London, (matric and intermediate), University of Edinburgh, (medical prelim), Universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, (pass M.A.). An example of a different genre, Elementary Physiography, an introduction to the study of nature, published by Longmans in 1890, was written by John Thornton, headmaster of Clarence Street Higher Grade School, Bolton, and is designed to give older school children an introduction to the scientific principles underlying geology, climate, weather and physical geography. A study of physiography is long overdue and would make an interesting alternative to yet another local study of technical education. Only a single study of school textbooks has so far been made, J.M.
