Professional papers of the Corps of Royal Engineers . ich it has afforded me, after an interval of many years,to lecture once more to an audience at the Royal Engineer Estab-lishment, with which I have had the pleasure of being so longintimately associated. Colonel Stokes proposed a vote of thanks for the valuable andinteresting lecture which Professor Abel had given them, and forthe trouble he had taken to come so far to deliver it; and ex-pressed the hope that it was not the last time they should hearhim.
