The President then addressed the Meeting as follows : — 

 Gentlemen, 



The time has again come round for my addressing you^ and for ex- 

 pressing my own gratitude, as well as yours, to your Council for their 

 constant and zealous attention to the interests of the Royal Society. 

 We have been compelled during several late years to have recourse to 

 legal pi-oceedings on the subject of the great tithes of Mablethorp, 

 a portion of the Society's property, and I rejoice to say with success. 

 In my last address, I was required to give our thanks to Mr. Watt 

 and to Mr. Dollond for the valuable busts which they had kindly 

 presented to us. That of Mr. Dollond is placed at the commence- 

 ment of the staircase leading to our apartments, and serves to indi- 

 cate that his valuable improvements in the construction of our tele- 

 scopes have been so many steps to the acquisition of higher and 

 higher knowledge of the great universe of which this globe forms 

 so insignificant a part. By the liberality of Mr. Watt we shall soon 

 be furnished with handsome pedestals for the busts of his father and 

 of Sir Isaac Newton, the two great lights of British mechanical 

 genius and British philosophical science. Mr. Gilbert has kindly 

 undertaken to furnish a similar pedestal for the bust of his father, 

 and we have thought it right to provide one for that of Sir Joseph 

 Banks. These will shortly form a conspicuous ornament of our 

 place of meeting.
