" We, the President and Members of the Royal Irish Academy, 

 beg to offer to Your Majesty, and to Your Royal Consort, Queen 

 Alexandra, our most loyal and hearty congratulations on the occasion 

 of Your Coronation. 



" Since our foundation, in 1786, by King George the Third, every 

 reigning Sovereign of the Empire has been our Patron, and we wish 

 to render to Your Majesty our most dutiful thanks for having been 

 most graciously pleased to assume that position. 



" Founded for the promotion of the study of Science, Polite Litera- 

 ture, and Antiquities, we trust that the work which the Royal Irish 

 Academy has published has contributed in some degree to that end ; 

 and that its efforts in those fields have been recognized as not 

 unworthy of the objects for which Your Royal Predecessor granted 

 the Academy its Charter. 



" We beg to tender to Your Majesty the assurance of our loyal 

 devotion, and we trust that you may be long spared to occupy the 

 Throne of this Empire." 



The President notified to the Academy that he had received an 

 invitation to be present at the Solemnity of the Coronation.
