A meeting of the Philosophical Society was held on Monday evening, the Rev. Prof. Clark, V.P. in the chair. A paper was read by Mr. W. W. Fisher of Downing college, (illustrated by coloured drawings,) on the nature, structure, and changes of Tubercles. The conclusion at which the author arrived was, that tubercles are organized, or organizable products; that they consist in general in an alteration of the structure of the organ in which they occur, and that the changes which they undergo are essentially due to inherent vital actions, the process of softening being frequently marked by the development of a new order of vessels in the diseased structure. Afterwards Mr. Willis gave an account of his views respecting the progress of Gothic architecture, especially with reference to the formation of tracery. He noticed that Romanesque architecture differed from Classical in the employment of compound arches, (instead of architraves,) several arches being placed under each other, so as to form successive orders of openings. As a next step, the sides of these arches are decorated with shafts; but these are different in the north and south of Europe. In the former (as in Norman architecture) the shafts replace the edges of the openings and are called edge shafts; in Italian Romanesque the shafts are placed in the square recesses of the sides of the openings, and are nook shafts. When the successive orders of openings became of different forms (as two arches under one, or trefoils under simple arches) there is an approximation to tracery; and when the mouldings which bound the 479 openings form bars, we have tracery. Hence the mullions and bars have mouldings which follow a series of subordination corresponding tion is clearly exhibited to the very latest period to the orders of openings, and this subordinaof good Gothic architecture.
