which every member of every race of mankind ought to be- 

 interested — the antiquity of the human family and the 

 scenes of its infancy. 



Others will direct our thoughts in other directions, but 

 the farther we proceed the more clearly shall we realise 

 the connection and interdependence of all departments- of 

 science. Year after year, as meetings of this Association 

 take place, we also may foresee that " many shall run 

 to and fro and knowledge shall be increased." Year after 

 year advances will be made in science, and in reading that 

 Book of Nature that lies ever open before our eyes ; 

 successive stones will be brought for building up that 

 Temple of Knowledge of which our fathers and we 

 have labored to lay the foundations. May we not well 

 exclaim with old Eobert Kecorde ? — 



" Oh woorthy temple of Goddes magnificence : Oh 

 throne of glorye and seate of the lorde : thy substance 

 most pure what tonge can describe ? thy signes are so 

 wonderous, surmountinge mannes witte, the effects of thy 

 motions so diuers in kinde : so harde for to searche, 

 and worse for to fynde — Thy woorkes are all wonderous, 

 thy cunning unknowen : yet seedes of all knowledge in 

 that booke are sowen — And yet in that boke who rightly 

 can reade, to all secrete knowledge it will him straighte 

 leade."^
