The Imperial St. Petersburg University Council 



sends greeting to 



The American Philosophical Society 



HELD AT Philadelphia 

 FOR Promoting Useful Knowledge. 



On the occasion of the Two Hundredth Anniversary 

 of the birth of the famous public worker, true patriot 

 and great scholar, Benjamin Franklin, who gave man- 

 kind a weapon of defence against the formidable force 

 of Nature — lightning, and by his remarkable researches 

 greatly advanced the study of electric phenomena. The 

 name of Franklin will remain memorable for ever. 

 Long may the Philosophical Society founded by Frank- 

 lin likewise flourish and prosper.
