Important Evidence

The poem To the Memory of Mr. Congreve, first printed in 1729, is usually attributed to James Thomson, although his authorship of it has been questioned. This poem was not reprinted until 1843, since which date some editors have included it in their collections of Thomson's works, and some have excluded it. I hope soon to present some hitherto unrecorded evidence that this poem was written by Thomson, and accordingly in the present paper I proceed on the assumption that he was its author. At the same time, as I shall try to show, the conclusion which this paper seeks to establish will itself supply important evidence in support of Thomson's authorship.

James Thomson

As a text for the following brief remarks on the recognition of mural pores in thin sections of the Favositoid Corals, I may quote a note appended by Mr. James Thomson, F.G.S., to a recent paper on the genus Lithostrotion (Trans. Edin. Geol. Soc. vol. v. part iii. p. 381). The note in question is subjoined, the quotation being verbatim, and, I may add, literatim also:—“We may, however, attach an undue importance to microscopic examinations. Need I refer to the point raised recently by that erratic and energetic worker, Prof. Alleyne Nicholson, regarding mural pores in the genus Alveolites, the type of which is also in Dr. Fleming's collection. If he had detected mural pores in microscopic sections, we would have regarded such as being one of the greatest discoveries of modern times.
