 QUAE IN NOVA SCOTIA EST S. P. D. Societas pro Scientia Natural! promovenda, 

 quae in Nova Scotia est, partem aliquam habere cupit in gratulationibus, 

 quae nunc ex omnibus regionibus in quibus sedem invenerit Scientia, vobis 

 offeruntur, quod mox natalem ducentensimum quinquagensimum vestrae 

 Societatis celebraturi estis. Splendide quidem Societas Regalis stimulando 

 et propagando assidue continenterque per tot saecula scientiarum studio 

 se praestitit cum primam turn inclutissimam inter societates quae in imperio 

 nostro Scientiam colunt ; et iuste, inter multa alia, gloriari potest in societa- 

 tibus quae eisdem studiis se dederunt, quae permultae ubicunque terrarum 

 homines lingua Anglica utuntur, diffusae sunt ; nam huic uni hae omnes 

 originem suam debent. Semper viam monstret Societas Regalis atque in 

 scientia promovenda et propaganda et civitatis necessitatibus adhibenda 

 semper sit princeps.
