BY THE LATE ALEXANDER KEITH, ESQ. OF DUNOTTAR. 261 



Resolved, 

 That the President and Council of the Royal Society of 

 Edinburgh, cannot forget the zeal with which their late vene- 

 rable Associate, Mr Keith of Dunottar, pursued every object 

 that could forward the discovery and the dissemination of 

 knowledge : and they receive the gift which has been announ- 

 ced by his Trustees, under the conditions prescribed, with sen- 

 timents of the most respectful remembrance and gratitude, and 

 with the determination that the intentions of Mr Keith shall 

 be fulfilled, in a manner, it is hoped, which will do equal ho- 

 nour to his Memory, and to the future successful Candidates 

 for the distinction of the Keith Medals. 



Resolved further, 



That this resolution be transmitted by the President to the 

 Trustees of Mr Keith, and that these Gentlemen be at the 

 same time requested, to accept the thanks of the President 

 and Council, for the trouble they have so obligingly taken on 

 the present occasion.
