1839

In an article by G. L'E. Turner on Powell, Hugh (1798–1883) in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, we read that "The Microscopical Society of London (from 1866 the Royal Microscopical Society), which was founded in September 1839, ordered the best microscopes then obtainable from the three leading makers, Powell, Ross, and Smith."

Monthly Microscopical Journal : transactions of the Royal Microscopical Society, and record of histological research at home and abroad

The record in the Nat. Lib. Scotland cat. gives the title as Monthly Microscopical Journal : transactions of the Royal Microscopical Society, and record of histological research at home and abroad.

The record in the Zeitschriftendatenbank gives the fourth last word as "art" rather than "at". It also indicates that this title includes part of C.
