were unanimonsly adopted ; and it was voted that a copy 

 thereof be left at the Library room, to receive the signatures 

 of members. 



Resolved, That the Society present to Professor Agassiz their 

 heartfelt thanks for the gratification and instruction received by 

 its members during his late course of lectures on the " Plan of 

 Creation." 



They would assure him that his lectures have given an impe- 

 tus to the study of Natural History, such as has never before 

 been felt in this community ; and which, while they have excited 

 the curiosity and called forth the admiration of the public, have 

 more than realized the most sanguine expectations of this scien- 

 tific Society. 



While, as a body, we would thus tender our acknowledgment 

 to the liberal naturalist and enlightened philosopher, we beg him 

 to accept our individual esteem and friendship.
