Excerpt from A Centenary of Science in Manchester: In a Series of Notes
There are men now living who could tell much of the early members, and this volume may call them forth. I pretend only to give the origin of the Society and a sketch of its main work, and that to a large extent in the language of the writers, so that much of the book is made up of quotations from their sayings, to which I have at times amused myself by making replies as if taking part in a conversation. I have often looked to the red-book of the late Alderman Shuttleworth as a store of interesting matter. As a boy he paddled about Medlock Bridge, in Oxford Road, not knowing that it was a skew-bridge, a kind which was said to have been invented long afterwards and he climbed Up trees in St. Ann Square for birds' nests, as I have heard him say. There are many persons in Man chester well able to search and to obtain much infor mation I must be excused if I avoid almost all per sonal history; making a slight exception in honour of our founder, and in two or three cases where information did not cost research.
