To THE PRESIDENT AND COUNCIL OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF LONDON 

 Greeting. The President and Council of the INSTITUTION OF ELECTRICAL 

 ENGINEERS offer their congratulations to the Royal Society on the completion 

 of the two hundred and fiftieth year of its existence. They are happy to 

 recall how much the Royal Society has done since the days of Robert Boyle 

 and Francis Hauksbee to promote the discovery of electrical phenomena and 

 of the laws of electricity and magnetism. They will ever remember the 

 additions to electrical knowledge due to Sir Isaac Newton, Stephen Gray, 

 Benjamin Franklin, Joseph Priestley, Abraham Bennet, Sir Humphry Davy, 

 Michael Faraday, John Frederick Daniell, Sir William Grove, Sir Francis 

 Ronalds, James Prescott Joule, Sir Charles Wheatstone, John Tyndall, 

 Latimer Clarke, David Edward Hughes, Lord Kelvin, James Clerk Maxwell, 

 John Hopkinson, George Francis FitzGerald, William Edward Ayrton, and 

 other Fellows of the Royal Society. They express the hope that the Royal 

 Society may enjoy unbroken prosperity, and may continue to promote the 

 progress of electrical science. 



On behalf of the Institution, the XVI day of July, MDCCCCXH.
