Addresses from Sister Societies 263 



tion of a Society which has done so much for the pro- 

 motion of KNOWLEDGE. 



The American Philosophical Society 



has for long maintained a position on a level with the 

 Great Scientific Societies of the World, and its series 

 of publications, as well known in Europe as in America, 

 fully justify that position. 



The President and Council of the Royal Geographical 

 Society feel confident that the same high standard will 

 be maintained by their Sister Society in Philadelphia 

 in the future as in the past, and they desire to assure 

 the Society of their cordial good wishes for its prosperity 

 and success. 



On behalf of the Council and Fellows of the 

 Royal Geographical Society, 



George Taubman Goldie, 



London, President. 



March 12, 1906.
