At the conclusion of the Lecture, 



Professor Osborne Reynolds moved a vote of thanks 

 to Sir George Stokes for his address. " I wish," he 

 said, " to express our great appreciation of the honour 

 which Sir George Stokes has conferred upon the Society 

 in delivering the first Wilde Lecture. He has made it an 

 honour for any subsequent lecturer to succeed to the office. 

 The lecture to which we have listened is, I am sure, a 

 model of what a lecture on an abstruse subject may be 

 made in the hands of one who is a master of the subject."
