  At

   date, 
  the 
  Right

  a 
  letter 
  was 
  read 
  from 
  Professor

   6th 
  curt., 
  in 
  which, 
  inconsequence

  of 
  his

  requiring 
  a 
  renewed 
  leave 
  of 
  absence 
  

   from

  he 
  unreservedly 
  resigned 
  the 
  office

  the

   had 
  done 
  him 
  the 
  honour 
  to 
  confer 
  upon 
  him 
  for 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  years, 
  an 
  honour 
  which 
  he 
  stated 
  

   he 
  ever 
  highly 
  prized. 
  After

  expressive 
  of

  of 
  the 
  high 
  estimation 
  in

   was 
  deservedly 
  held 
  (in 
  which 
  observations 
  the 
  Society 
  most 
  cordially 
  concurred), 
  it 
  was 
  

   moved 
  by

  Christison, 
  " 
  That 
  Professor 
  Forbes 
  be 
  requested 
  to 
  withdraw

  adopted 
  by 
  the 
  Society, 
  and 
  the 
  

   acting 
  General 
  Secretary

  of 
  the 
  

   Society 
  that

  and 
  that 
  a 
  letter 
  of 
  date
