^T. 58.] PRESIDENT OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 215 



I spoke from the warmest feelings of my heart, and I re- 

 joiced that my expressions were so cordially cheered by the 

 assembly. 



So much reliance do I place on your judgment and fairness, 

 that if it should be considered desirable to have a good record as 

 to truths of geology prepared under the title of a ' Geological 

 Bible' you should be the man I would select to bring out such a 

 work. 



Mr [Charles] Falconer has invited me to your wedding and the 

 ddjeuner, which has much pleased me, and I shall certainly be 

 present to wish you all joy and happiness. Ever yours sincerely, 



EOD. I. MURCHISON.
