Excerpt from Transactions of the Aberdeen Philosophical Society, 1910, Vol. 4: Including Resume of the Work of the Society From 1900 to 1910 The present Aberdeen Philosophical Society, which was formally constituted at the beginning of 1840, has now completed its seventy-first session. Its membership originally consisted largelv of the University professors and lecturers, but, while the University connection has always been and still is a close one, the Society now numbers within its ranks members of all pro fessions and classes, and, latterly, of both sexes. Four Volumes of Transactions have now been issued. Vols. I. And II. Contain as an introduction a paper by Mr. A. D. Milne (formerly Secretary of the Society) on The History and Public Work of the Society, and Vol. III. A paper entitled A Society of Aber deen Philosophers one hundred years ago, written for Macmillan's Magazine in 1863, which describes the forma tion of the first Aberdeen Philosophical Society in 1758, and the business transacted at its meetings during its life of fifteen years. They include the Transactions of the Society from 1840 to 1900. A few copies of Volumes II. And III. Still remain, and may be had by members on application to the Secretary.

Excerpt from Transactions of the Aberdeen Philosophical Society, Vol. 3: Including Resume of the Work of the Society From 1890 to 19002 The Aberdeen Philosophical Society (the third of the name) has now completed its sixty-first session. The Third Volume of Transactions issued herewith covers the period comprised by the last decade of the century - 1890 to 1900. It has not been thought necessary to reprint Mr. A. D. Milne's paper "on the History and Public Work of the Society," which served as an Introduction to Vols. I. and II, but in place thereof there will be found a very interesting paper written by Mr. James Valentine for "Macmillan's Magazine" of October, 1863, which is here reproduced with the kind consent of Messrs. Macmillan & Co. It contains a graphic and instructive account of the doings of the first Aberdeen Philosophical Society - a Society of very distinguished men, who left their mark on the philosophy of their own and succeeding generations. The volume further contains - 1. A List of the Titles of all the Papers read since November, 1889, with the names of the members who communicated them. 2. A Tabulated List of the Excursions made by the Society. 3. The Names and the Designations at the period of their election, of all the members - ordinary, honorary, or corresponding - elected since November, 1889. 4. A full Report of a Selection of Papers read since the commencement of the year 1890. 5. The Constitution and Rules of the Society. 6. The present Office-bearers and Members - Honorary and Ordinary - with the dates of their election. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
