Bound volumes containing reprints from the Journal of Cantor Lectures \n\nThe Cantor Lectures were named after Dr. Edward Theodore Cantor who was a surgeon in the Indian Medical Service. Upon his death in 1860 he bequeathed the sum of £5,042 to the Society in order to promote our objectives (encouraging arts, manufacture and commerce). He does not seem to have been a Member of the Society and in making this bequest he neglected to make any provision for his mother who was still alive and had depended on him greatly. The Society decided to give her an annual allowance of £25 for the rest of her life. She died in 1867. \n\nSome debate was taken as how best to use the money as Cantor himself had made no specific request. It was decided to begin a course of lectures on industrial technology which ran annually and began in 1864. The last series of Cantor Lectures took place in 1990.\n
