THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF LONDON 



FOR IMPROVING NATURAL KNOWLEDGE 



Sends to the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences on the 

 happy occasion of its celebrating the Centenary of its foundation 

 brotherly greetings and hearty congratulations. 



From the earliest days the Royal Society has felt that its efforts 

 should not be confined to the city whose name forms part of its 

 title, and has always sympathized with, and, from time to time, 

 has assisted undertakings for improving Natural Knowledge 

 carried out in various parts of the world. It remembers with 

 pride how since its early years it has been able to count as mem- 

 bers of itself many distinguished men of science dwelling on the 

 other side of the Atlantic, some of whom Connecticut can claim 

 as its own. 



And to the earnest wish that the Connecticut Academy of Arts 

 and Sciences may enjoy continued prosperity in time to come it 

 adds the no less sincere and earnest wish that the brotherly ties 

 between those who on the two sides of the ocean are devoting 

 themselves to improving Natural Knowledge may grow still 

 stronger as the years pass on. 



Lister, 



Pres. B. 8.
