Excerpt from The Owens College, Manchester: A Brief History of the College and Description of Its Various Departments HE present work owes its origin, in part, to a request T from the Committee of the Education Exhibition, held in London in January last, that the authorities of the Owens College should furnish an account of the Institution for that Exhibition and for the Paris Exhibition, to which it was preliminary; in part, to the desire of the authorities of the College for a record of its development and present condition, in celebration of its jubilee. The Editor was requested to expand for this purpose an article on the technical side of the College, contributed by him to the Record of Technical and Secondary Education in 1895, so as to form a comprehensive description of the Institution as a' whole.
