 Council, and Fellows of the Geological Society of London, humbly beg leave 

 to offer to Your Majesty our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy in the great 

 and sudden sorrow which has fallen upon You, and most respectfully to 

 express the grief that we, in common with all Your Majesty's subjects, feel at 

 the great loss which has afflicted the Nation and the. Empire in the tragic 

 death of our late beloved and revered Sovereign King Edward VII, in the full 

 vigour of his services for the welfare of humanity and the peace of the world. 

 ' In the depth of our sorrow we find comfort in the assurance that the 

 sceptre of our wise King passes into the hands of one who will keep ever 

 before him the high destiny of the Nation, and we venture humbly to offer our 

 fervent congratulations to Your Majesty on Your accession to the throne, 

 which, under the sway of Your ancestors, has become the greatest in the 

 world. 



'We trust that the knowledge of the mineral structure of the earth, for a 

 century the special care of this Society, may continue to grow and flourish 

 under the rule of Your Majesty as it has done under that of Your illustrious 

 predecessors. 



■' That Your Majesty's reign may be a long one and that it may overpass in 



ustre even those of the great Kings and Queens that have preceded You, 



s the earnest prayer of Your devoted subjects.'
