94 General Monthly Meeting. [March G, 



The following letter from the Duke of Northumberland was read 

 from the Chair : — 



" Dear Sir Frederick Bramwell, "Alnwick Castle, i6«ft. February, 1899. 



"I am deeply touched by the Kesolution adopted by the Members of the 

 Royal Institution which you have been so good as to forward to me. The appre- 

 ciation exhibited by it of the late Duke of Northumberland's services to the 

 Institution, and the kindly sympathy expressed for me and for my family in the 

 heavy bereavement we have sustained, have afforded me great gratification, more 

 especially because I know how highly my father valued the work of the Institu- 

 tion, and his connection with it as its President. 



I am, dear Sir Frederick, 

 The Honorary Secretary, Yours truly, 



Royal Institution. (Signed) Northumberland."
