Excerpt from Hardwicke's Science-Gossip, 1876: An Illustrated Medium of Interchange and Gossip for Students and Lovers of Nature Hundreds of letters reached us from all parts - Australia, India, Canada, and the United States, as well as from every town and city in Great Britain, encouraging us to enlarge gossip Never before did the Editorial Chair feel so pleasant! Here and there came a letter pointing out difficulties which we confess we had not at first considered. Finally, whilst personally thanking every one of our well-wishers for their hearty good wishes, we concluded that, for the present at least, science-gossip should not alter either its price or its form. We determined that the only alteration Should be in the direction of its improvement - in first-class articles from well - known pens, and in a more earnest endeavour to keep popularly abreast with the progress of natural science. Our great desire is that the important discoveries and conclusions of Science shall percolate down'to the densest strata of our population. The circulation was never before so great as it at present 3 but our ability to improve science-gossip in every respect would be increased if that circulation were doubled. This could be effected, in the easiest manner, by every one of our old subscribers securing anew one for the ensuing year. We are pleased to know that in our desire to increase the usefulness and efficiency of our unpretending Magazine, we have the hearty cc-operation of its new Publisher, whose great wish is to improve it in every respect, whilst supporting its traditional style of treatment. The first proof of this cordial assistance on his part is the publication of a Classified Indecc of all the Volumes of science-gossip, including the present, twelve in number. Under the headings of Zoology, Botany, Geology, Microscopy, the reader will there find the entire contents of the Twelve Volumes alphabetically arranged. We hope that this will prove a valuable synopsis of recent natural history knowledge. It is intended to publish the index concurrently with the present number, or very shortly afterwards.
