Excerpt from The Journal of Microscopy and Natural Science, 1887, Vol. 6: The Journal of the Postal Microscopical Society

What, then, is the special mission of the Postal Microscopical Society? Let us seek an answer in its history What was the first conception of the society by Mr. Atkinson, its first President? He says in his first letter to Science Gossip, in May, 187 3, Let a certain number of persons, living in different parts of the country, agree to form a Postal Cabinet Association, and in his letter he further developes a plan, which, after modification and assistance from Mr. Allen, our present secretary, resulted in the establish ment of our society: the essence of the whole being the association Of a number of workers separated from each other by long distances, and thus isolated in their work but now, by means of the post, linked together into a brotherhood, and enabled to communicate with each other, and to obtain en couragement, sympathy, and instruction from intercommunication.
