Dear Sir: In addition to the Antique Roman Lamp, which you had 

 the kindness to accept in my name for the National Institution, I hope 

 you will allow me to offer you now — 



1st. A medal struck by the Royal Society of Science, Letters and Arts 

 of Antwerp, on the occasion of the bis-secular fetes in honor of Rubens. 



2d. A Medal of the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in 1839, intended 

 as a national reward. 



3d. A medal commemorating the opening of the first section of the 

 Belgian Rail-Road, in 1834. 



4th. A Medal struck in honor of the Regent of Belgium. 



These Medals are presented by me, in the name of the Belgian 



Government, as a proof of the warm interest in the establishment and 



prosperity of the National Institution for the Promotion of Science, 



■' founded at the seat of Government, which is destined, I believe, to 



shed lustre on the United States. 



127 From Lieutenant Hanvood, U.S. Navy (Andrew A. Harwood) (Extract) 

 L'.S. Navy-"S'ard. New York, November 16, 1841 

 My Dear Sir: . . . . But I beg to remind you that they [certain 

 objects] are not forwarded so much for their novelty or intrinsic value 

 as to point out a way in which the officers, particularly of the Mediter- 

 ranean Squadron, may render very essential sei"\ice to the Institution, 

 the interests of which I feel assured they will all take a pride in ad- 

 \ancing.
