Bulletin
The annual report included articles, reviews, and society notes. It did not serve as a professionally reviewed scholarly journal, so there has been little reference to this publication in later work. However, in historical work the bulletin is of great value. One instance can be viewed in A History of Vector Analysis by M.J. Crowe. Another case is the 1984 article "The Quaternion Group and Modern Physics" by P.R. Girard in the European Journal of Physics 5:25–32. Girard notes that Macfarlane supplemented his 1904 Bibliography with lists in the bulletin for 1905, 08, 09, 10, 12, and 1913. Ortiz (see external link) notes also that the bulletin indicated when courses on quaternions were offered at various universities.

Famous quotes containing the word bulletin:
“We know what the animals do, what are the needs of the beaver, the bear, the salmon, and other creatures, because long ago men married them and acquired this knowledge from their animal wives. Today the priests say we lie, but we know better.”
—native American belief, quoted by D. Jenness in “The Carrier Indians of the Bulkley River,” Bulletin no. 133, Bureau of American Ethnology (1943)
“Delusions that shrink to the size of a woman’s glove,
Then sicken inclusively outwards:
. . . the incessant recital
Intoned by reality, larded with technical terms,
Each one double-yolked with meaning and meaning’s rebuttal:
For the skirl of that bulletin unpicks the world like a knot....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“I am fooling only myself when I say my mother exists now only in the photograph on my bulletin board or in the outline of my hand or in the armful of memories I still hold tight. She lives on in everything I do. Her presence influenced who I was, and her absence influences who I am. Our lives are shaped as much by those who leave us as they are by those who stay. Loss is our legacy. Insight is our gift. Memory is our guide.”
—Hope Edelman (20th century)
