Royal Society in 1828 and continued President for eight 

 years, during which as long as his health permitted he 

 presided at the meetings of the Council and the Society. 



J. W. Lubbock was for fully forty years one of the most 

 respected and influential members of the scientific and 

 professional society of London. Partner in his father's 

 well-established bank, he succeeded him in 1840 as third 

 holder of the baronetcy. He was elected into the Royal 

 Society in 1829, and so much did the Society appreciate his 

 business capacity that it next year elected him Treasurer 

 and Vice-President. But his attainments in science were 

 also considerable, especially in the domain of mathematics 

 and astronomy. 



C. D. E. Konig, born and educated in Germany, served on 

 the staff of the natural history side of the British Museum, 

 and eventually became keeper of the mineralogical depart- 

 ment of that institution. He was elected F.R.S. in 1810, 

 and succeeded Thomas Young in the Foreign Secretaryship. 



Easter was recognised this year at the Club by omitting 

 the dinner on April I5th. After the Anniversary the atten- 

 dance continued to be small. It was arranged that after 

 June I7th dinner would be provided for six persons until 

 the end of July, when the Club was to adjourn till the first 

 Thursday in November. In July the largest attendance 

 was four and on the first day of the month the whole com- 

 pany consisted of the President and Treasurer. 



Adam Sedgwick, the distinguished Woodwardian Professor 

 of Geology, dined on 2ist January for the first time. He 

 had been elected into the Royal Society in 1821. In the 

 full vigour of life and of scientific enthusiasm, he was next 

 month elected President of the Geological Society. 



Henry Hallam, who dined not infrequently at the Club, 

 invited as his guest on ist April Henry Gaily Knight, writer 

 on architecture, who had travelled over much of Europe 

 and had visited Egypt and the East, at that time not so 

 accessible as they have now become. 



Charles G. B. Daubeny, chemist, geologist, botanist and 

 the active professor of Chemistry at Oxford, dined on May
