that he might almost be cli

'graphical notice of Professor Phillips,

d in giving lectures in the county, 
a fellow-countryman of yours ; 
which notice has been printer

attractive qualities, he was an earnest and sincere believer in the 
Great and Almighty Architect of the Universe, and, when lecturing, 
was always careful to impress upon the minds of the young students 
of science that no geological discoveries would ever be found to 
conflict with the truth of the Sacred History. 
The title of the Institution, which we have the honour to welcome 
to this city, would seem to imply, upon the face of it, that its sphere 
of inquiry is limited to the geology of Yorkshire, and to those 
natural formations which, by the application of machinery and other 
appliances are rendered beneficial to mankind. 
I propose to point out in very few words in my t nef 
address, that this would be a too-narrow view, and in what manner 
archaeology is connected with it. If the researches of the society’s 
members were confined to the field of geology and mechanical 
science alone, however important to the community at large, and 
interesting to many, they might prove, they would not satisfy and 
interest everybody. All of us are not geologists, nor are we all
