MANCHESTER 

 LITERARY AND PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY 



To THE American Philosophical Society. 



The Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society 

 sends greetings to its sister The American Philosophical 

 Society for Promoting Useful Knowledge on the occa- 

 sion of the Two Hundredth Anniversary of the birth of 

 its founder, Benjamin Franklin. 



As a philosopher, statesman, and diplomatist, and as 

 a pioneer in the scientific fields of capillarity, acoustics, 

 electricity and meteorology, Dr. Franklin will long be 

 remembered, and his intimate association with your So- 

 ciety is a circumstance of which you may be justly 



proud. 



W. H. Bailey, K.B., 



President. 



Francis Jones, 

 Charles H. Lees, 



Hon. Secretaries. 

 April 6th, 1906.
