Centennial Anniversary. xi 



THE LONDON MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY 



Present fraternal greetings to the Connecticut Academy of 

 Sciences on the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of their 

 foundation. 



They look back with satisfaction on the exchange of publica- 

 tions which has subsisted between the two bodies ever since their 

 own foundation in the year 1865. 



They recognize with much pleasure the importance of the 

 researches in Mathematical and Physical Science given to the 

 world by the Connecticut Academy in a language which does not 

 convey to them any suggestion of a foreign origin. In no coun- 

 try has the value of these researches been earlier or more fully 

 recognized than in Great Britain. 



They desire and expect a long career of increasing usefulness 

 and honor for the Connecticut Academy of Sciences, which even 

 now takes rank among the most ancient of the existing learned 

 societies of the world. 



Signed in behalf of the London Mathematical Society. 



Kelvin, President.

THE COUNCIL OF THE MANCHESTER LITERARY 

 AND PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY 



Send most cordial greetings on the occasion of the Centenary 

 of the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences. 



They recall the great services which the Academy has rendered, 

 not only in the encouragement of scientific research within its 

 own borders, but also by the singular merit of its publications, 

 many of which they feel will rank as permanent landmarks in 

 the history of Science. 



The Council feel that they can express no better wish than that 



the Academy may continue to nourish in a manner worthy of its 



past traditions.
