The Journal of the London Institution first appeared in I87I under the editorship of J. C. Brough. It was intended as a monthly publication giving details of forthcoming lectures, reports of previous lectures, new accessions to the library, and other news. Because of the editor's illness, only 9 issues appeared in I87I, and 8 in I872; 5 issues were produced in I873, Nicholson's first year of office, 3 in I874, then twice-yearly until I878, after which it became an annual. By I875 it only gave reports covering each department of the Institution and ceased reviewing lectures or announcing new accessions.
