Memorandum.—Monday, November 22, 1852.—At a Statutory General Meeting of this 
date, the Right Rev. Bishop TERROT in the Chair, a letter was read from Professor FORBES of 
6th curt., in which, in consequence of the state of his health requiring a renewed leave of absence 
from Edinburgh, he unreservedly resigned the office of General Secretary, which the Society 
had done him the honour to confer upon him for a series of years, an honour which he stated 
he ever highly prized. After a few observations by the Right Rev. Chairman, expressive of 
the Society’s regret at this intimation, and of the high estimation in which Professor FORBES 
was deservedly held (in which observations the Society most cordially concurred), it was 
moved by Professor CHRISTISON, ‘‘ That Professor FORBES be requested to withdraw his re- 
signation.” This motion was immediately and unanimously adopted by the Society, and the 
acting General Secretary was instructed to communicate the resolution to Professor FORBES. 
Memorandum.—tIn reference to Professor FORBES’S proposed resignation of the General 
Secretaryship, and the resolution of the Society regarding it, as recorded in the preceding 
Minutes of the last Statutory General Meeting, it is to be here noted that the acting General 
Secretary communicated to Professor FORBES the unanimous resolution and request of the 
Society that he should withdraw his resignation, and that a letter of date the 24th day of 
November was duly received from Professor FORBES, in which, in accordance with the wishes 
of the Society, he withdrew his resignation,
