Stoney to Fitzgerald, Jan 5 1896: 'The more I see of London societies, and London and Cambridge men, the more firmly I am convinced of the impolicy of trying to get the decision of whether papers shall be published into their exclusive hands...and the...great impolicy of not vigorously supporting...the RDS and the RIA...'.
