Mention was made by S" Rob. Moray of a French Gentleman 
who having been some while since in England, and present at 
a meeting of the Society, discoursed that the nature of all trees 
was to run altogether to wood: which was changed by a certain 
way of cutting them, whereby they were made against their nature 
to beare fruit, and that according as this cutting was done w 
more or lesse skill, the more or lesse fruitfull the tree would bee. 
A proposition was offered by S' Robert Moray about the 
planting of Timber in England, and the preserving of what is now 
growin 
Mr Royle shew" a Puppey in a certaine liquour, wherein it had 
been preserved during all the hott months of the Summer, though 
in a broken and unsealed glasse. 
We learn from the entries of the Society that there were 
present at that meeting men of very different callings and 
stations in life, noblemen, men of fashion, doctors, lawyers, 
soldiers, divines, and men of business as well as_ professors. 
They all seem to have appreciated all the diverse topics, and 
many to have given their opinions upon them. They each 
uriderstood each other’s speech. The tower had risen to a very 
little height in those days.

I make bold to say that neither the President of the Society, 
nor any other of the Officers nor any one of the Fellows, could, 
of his own knowledge, state what was the exact meaning of 
fe ae 1899.
