The Microscopical Society was founded in London in 1840 to promote the use of the microscope and publish the results of studies with the microscope in the sciences and medicine and advances in technology. The majority of the papers in the first three transaction volumes are by prominent European paleontologists, biologists, zoologists, and botanists.
