Annual Meeting. 7 



be a great satisfaction to the citizens of Belfast to have amongst 

 them a gentleman of Mr. Brown's attainments, and whose 

 family was connected with the material progress of the city ; 

 one who had distinguished himself by his original research. 

 As members of that Society, he thought they ought to be very 

 grateful indeed to him for applying his high attainments in 

 promoting the best interests of the Society. 



The vote of thanks was heartily accorded. 



Mr. Brown, in response, said that he was very much obliged 

 to the members for their kindness. Any work he had done for 

 the Society had been a labour of love, and he had only been 

 anxious that it should be on the right track, and productive of 

 good results. Although he was retiring from the office of 

 President, his interest in the Society would be just the same as 

 ever, and he hoped to do what he could for it in the future as 

 in the past.
