The Rumford Medal, 



consisting of a gold medal with a silver copy struck in the same die, is awarded 

 once every second year 'to the author of the most important discovery or 

 useful improvement which shall be made and published by printing or in any 

 way made known to the public in any part of Europe during the preceding 

 two years on Heat or on Light, the preference always being given to such 

 discoveries as, in the opinion of the President and Council of the Royal 

 Society, tend most to promote the good of mankind. 



'If during any term of years from the last award no new discovery or 

 improvement shall have been made in any part of Europe relative to Light or 

 Heat, in the opinion of the President and Council of sufficient importance to 

 deserve the award, it may not be given, but the value of it may be reserved, 

 and being laid out in the purchase of additional stock may augment the 

 capital ; and the interest of the same, by which the capital may from time to 

 time be so augmented, may be given in money ' at a subsequent award with 

 the medal. (See p. 183.)
