That Almighty God may long preserve to your Koyal Highness the enjoyment of your 

 present domestic felicity, with many other blessings, is our fervent and united prayer. 



Signed at Edinburgh, on the 29th August 1842, in the name, and by appointment, of the 

 Society. 



This Address was unanimously approved of, and the President in the Chair was appointed 

 to sign it. 



Thereafter, Dr COOK of St Andrews moved, That a Deputation be appointed to present 

 the Addresses, and to take the proper steps for ascertaining at what time and in what manner 

 they should be presented ; the Deputation to consist of such of the Office-bearers of the So- 

 ciety as may be selected by the President, after it has been ascertained whether there is any 

 rule as to the number of persons who will be allowed to compose a Deputation for the pre- 

 sentation of Addresses. 



This Motion was seconded by Mr STARK, and unanimously agreed to. 



Thereafter, Sir JOHN ROBISON stated, that it was the opinion of the Council, that PRINCE 

 ALBERT, who was already a Fellow of the Royal Society of London, and who was in all re- 

 spects worthy of being an Honorary Fellow of this Society, should have this honour now con- 

 ferred on him. The Resolution of the Council to propose his Royal Highness to be elected an 

 Honorary Fellow, had been notified to the Members. 



This Motion, having been seconded by Dr MACLAGAN, was unanimously agreed to. 



A Diploma in favour of PRINCE ALBERT was signed by the President in the Chair and by 

 the Secretary. 



The Deputation above named for the Addresses, was appointed also to present the 

 Diploma to PRINCE ALBERT.
