I had intended to have printed a list of those persons to whom

the Royal Society had in past years awarded the Copley medals,

and the reasons for which they were given; but having applied to

the Council for permission to employ an amanuensis, to copy those

awards, either from the minutes, or from the volumes of the

Philosophical Transactions, I was surprised at receiving a

refusal. I confess it appeared to me, that as a whole, those

adjudications did us credit, although I doubted the propriety of

many individual cases. As, however, the Council seem to have had

a different opinion, and as I had made the application through

courtesy, I shall decline printing a list, every individual

portion of which has been already published in many ways,

although the whole has never been printed in a collected form.
