The President, after returning thanks to the Royal Society for 

 the honour conferred on him for ten years, delivered the Medals 

 with the following words : — 



Mr. Galloway, 



I deliver this Royal Medal to you with great satisfaction, for your 

 communication on one of the most interesting and difficult problems 

 in Astronomy, the proper motion in space of our sj^stem ; specula- 

 tions which may almost seem too mighty and daring for the human 

 intellect. 



One who, like yourself, has entered on such a path of discovery, 

 is not likely to turn from it. In further pursuing it, I feel assured 

 that your zeal for the prosperity of the Royal Society will induce 

 you to enrich our Transactions with other communications. Should 

 my hopes prove well-founded, though my successor will, from his 

 own pursuits, be much better able than myself to appreciate your 

 labours, he will not be able to hail them with greater pleasure than 

 myself.
