• Sir Henry -R oscoe, whose response to the appeal of the members of the deputation of 1887 was at once to point them to scientific light and training as their only resource. In a letter recently received from Sir Henry (1906), he writes :I agree with you that this is a good instance of the direct money value of scientific training, and in these days of protection and similar subterfuges, it is not amiss to emphasise the fact. It is thus gratifying to the writer to think that the lectures have had some influence on the remarkable progress which the British Hat Industry has made in the twenty years that have elapsed since their delivery. These lectures were in part printed and published in the Hatters Gazette, and in part in newspapers of Manchester and Stockport, and they have here been compiled and edited, and the necessary illustrations added, etc., by Mr. Albert Shonk, to whom I would express my best thanks.
