‘‘That the Members of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society, 
assembled for the first time since the death of Professor Phillips, 
desire to place on record the feelings with which they have been 
impressed by that melancholy event. While other scientific bodies 
lament in his death the extinction of one of the great lights of 
science, the Yorkshire Philosophical Society has a debt of grati¬ 
tude to pay to the memory of one from whom it has received the 
most important services. They feel that to him is due mnch of the 
prosperity to which the Society has attained; the richness of its 
Museum and the admirable manner in which its treasures are dis¬ 
played. They desire to testify their admiration of the talents 
which, united with industry and devotion to science, raised him to 
so high a rank among its cultivators. Above all they cherish the 
memory of the moral and personal qualities by which his character 
was distingui|hed, and which secured him the warm attachment 
of those who knew him intimately, and the general esteem of his 
fellow-citizens.”
