It was voted that the Rumford Premium be awarded to Mr. 

 Joseph Harrison, Jr., of Philadelphia, for his method of con- 

 structing steam-boilers, by which great safety has been secured. 



Dr. Ellis suggested that a new die should be procured before 

 giving the Rumford Medal, as the present one does not agree 

 with the other likenesses of the Count. Referred to the Rum- 

 ford Committee. 



It was voted that the Rumford Committee be empowered to 

 make such arrangement or contract regarding the publication 

 of a cheap edition of the Life of Count Rumford as may seem 

 to them advisable.
