  The 
  President 
  remarked 
  that 
  it 
  would 
  argue 
  a 
  degree 
  of 
  in- 
  

   difference 
  with 
  which 
  the 
  Society 
  could 
  not 
  be 
  charged, 
  if 
  the 
  

   Meeting 
  were 
  to 
  proceed 
  to 
  the 
  transaction 
  of 
  the 
  ordinary 
  business 
  

   without 
  some 
  reference 
  to 
  the 
  sad 
  loss 
  sustained 
  by 
  the 
  whole 
  

   scientific 
  world 
  within 
  the 
  last 
  few 
  days 
  in 
  the 
  death 
  of 
  the 
  

   illustrious 
  naturalist 
  whose 
  remains 
  had 
  been 
  consigned 
  that 
  

   morning 
  to 
  their 
  last 
  resting-place 
  at 
  Westminster. 
  He 
  added 
  that 
  

   the 
  spectacle 
  presented 
  by 
  the 
  vast 
  assemblage 
  of 
  people 
  who 
  came 
  

   together 
  to 
  witness 
  the 
  obsequies 
  of 
  Mr. 
  Darwin 
  was 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  

   soul-stirring 
  kind, 
  and 
  constituted 
  the 
  grandest 
  conceivable 
  testimony 
  

   of 
  respect 
  for 
  the 
  memory 
  of 
  the 
  distinguished 
  philosopher 
  who 
  had 
  

   just 
  passed 
  from 
  among 
  us.
