The British Association for the Advancement of Science requests the honor of your company for an afternoon of discourse and discovery.

Under the guidance of scientific visionary Mr. H. G. Wells, we offer a retrospective on the history of our world—from its geological formation to the age of the great reptiles—and a prospective look at the future of humanity. The presentation will feature a survey of the defining breakthroughs of our time: the discovery of Neptune, described by Mary Sommerville, the evolutionary theories of Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace, the electromagnetic wonders of Michael Faraday and J. C. Maxwell, and the calculating engines of Charles Babbage.

Join us to explore how these artifacts and advancements herald a new era of social progress. An engaging, interactive, educational (and fun!) experience suitable for ladies and gentlemen of ALL ages.

‘To study the past is to glimpse the future’
