ON THE LATE 



§uUx falitt §B. Mxult 



BEFOEE THE 



California Academy of Sciences, 



JULY 21, 1879. 



Mr. President and Fellow Members of the Academy : 



It becomes a painful duty to announce to you the death 

 of one of the original founders of this Academy of Sciences, 



Born in Roxbury, Massachusetts; 

 Died July 3, 1879, aged 55 years. 



Sad do such announcements ever seem, whether the 

 occasion be one of sudden surprise, or in the natural order 

 of human events — impending, and therefore to be expected, 

 as the common lot of us all. Nevertheless, they come to us 

 like wailing winds of autumn, when woodlands are lonely 

 — when fading leaves fall sadly down, er, dead and dry, 

 startling and rustling, are driven along all paths — flowers 

 faded and gone — fruits garnered and fields forsaken — and 

 no summer song-bird left to cheer the cold closing scene of 

 the departed year. So is it seen from our natural earth-side 

 of the great flood, yet is there joy on that other shore.
