collect the odium which was attached to the very 
name — we cheerfully offer the tribute so merited by 
him, to whose intelligence, liberality, and unwearied 
diligence, we owe all that true spirit of mineralogi- 
cal inquiry now abroad, and which bids fair to place 
our country among the first where such studies have 
been successfully cultivated. While we thus bestow 
praise where it is due, we cannot refrain from ten- 
dering our mite to the Geological Society of Lon-

the internal structure of England. Sincerely must it 
be wished, by every true lover of science, that these 
two societies may cordially co-operate in their com- 
mon objects. Let this be the case, and we shall 
anxiously apply to them the spirit of the dying ad- 
dress of Father Paul to his country — “ Estote per- 
petua."
