practical habits of business he joined deep philosophical thought, 
accurate scholarship, and genial appreciation of the arts and 
letters of modern as well as ancient times — that he applied a 
powerful intellect, with a keen forecast of the wants of his country, 
to develop the resources of British farming — and that, by a rare 
union of endowments, he did much to render science practical, 
and to win for agriculture a worthy place among the intellectual 
pursuits of the present day. 
How much labour he underwent, what forbearance and discri- 
mination he exercised, how considerate he was of the feelings of 
others, how modest in the expression of his own, may never be 
known except to his personal friends ; but some of the results of 
his unceasing exertions during many of the best years of his life 
are to be found in the Journal (to which the Council have referred 
by their resolution) ; and by that Journal at least his name will 
be permanently and honourably connected with the Society from 
the date of its commencement. 
This may not be the occasion on which to speak of his exer- 
tions for the labouring poor, or of his private virtues, but I trust 
that I shall be pardoned for having said thus much in response 
to the recognition of Mr. Pusey's services by the important 
public body over which your Lordship presides. 
I have only further to request that you Avill be pleased to convey 
to the Council the respectful acknowledgments of Mr. Pusey's 
friends, and that you will accept personally their sincere thanks 
for the kind terms in which your letter to the family is expressed, 
I have the honour to be, my Lord, 
Your Lordship's faithful servant, 
Thomas Dyke Acland, Jun. 
The Rt. Hon. Lord Portmax. 
On the motion of Mr. Samuel Jonas, seconded by Mr. Fisher 
Hobbs, it was resolved that the foregoing letters be entered in 
the proceedings of the day, and be printed in the forthcoming 
Number of the Journal.
