[address.] 



To the Right Honourable Lord Kelvin, 

 LL.D., D.C.L., D.Sc, F.R.S., 



Professor of Natural Philosophy in the University of 

 Glasgow. 



The Council of the Manchester Literary and Philo- 

 sophical Society beg to offer you their heartiest congratu- 

 lations on the occasion of the Jubilee of your Professorship. 

 The members of the Society unite with the whole scientific 

 world in the expression of admiration and gratitude for the 

 great services rendered by you to the cause of Science ; 

 but they desire especially to refer to the long and friendly 

 relationship which has existed between yourself and this 

 Society. You were one of the first to recognise the merit 

 of the work of our townsman and member Joule, and we 

 look back with pleasure to the visit you paid to this city 

 when you unveiled his statue in our Town Hall. 



We have counted you as one of our Honorary Members 

 since 1851, and it was to our Society that you first com- 

 municated your Memoir " On the Convective Equilibrium 

 of the Atmosphere," which forms the foundation of the 

 science of Meteorology. 



It is our earnest wish that you may long be spared to 

 prosecute the researches which have rendered your name 

 famous throughout the world. 



(Signed) Edward Schunck, Ph.D., F.R.S., 



President.
