‘ 
n 
competent judges, to be not only a correct 
* resemblance, but likewise an excellent pro- 
“ duction of art. Our wish is, that a suit- 
“able place may be assigned to it, in the 
‘room where our meetings are held; and, 
that if approved by the Society at large, it 
“* may be inscribed by them as an affectionate 
** tribute of respect and gratitude to a man, 
“‘ universally beloved for his conciliating qua- 
‘¢ lities and private worth, and peculiarly en- 
** deared to us, by the relation in which he 
«* stands, as one of the very few founders of 
‘“« the) Society, whom an indulgent Provi- 
*¢ dence has still spared to us; —a Phi- 
& losopher, to whose talents we owe much 
* of, the approbation, which the public has 
‘“¢ bestowed on our labours ;—and a Member, 
“« whose zeal has, for a period of nearly 
“‘ thirty years, been uniformly exerted, in 
** every station, to promote the peace and 
‘* prosperity of the Institution, over which 
“« he presides.”’
