believe that every new disconey of messes which England
is permitted to make, while it arias, perhaps, directly to her
wealth, or indirectly to the develepuesat of her reeouroes,
adds also to her influence Is the scale of nations. The inte-
rest of our nation in misses has kept pace with the encou-

Our nedesal 'Amadeie may now onspare advantageously
with theme efethereesuatee, marreabierag that our colkthoas
are little more than half a mane, ad. The number of
visitors, which six yeses see was 519,000, was but year
above 700,000. With them failbadeas of the state of science,
and of the taste for scathe Mold In our own country,
sometimes as the fruit of the kboun of this emaciation
sometimes as collateral and incidental, and even ilia!
tiro results, but all showing the progress of phy-
sical knowledge, or the means of extending and
familiarising it amongst us, I might finish my address.
But I cannot conclude this address without congratulating
the university and the association alike on this assemblage.
We can never forget that the earliest, and, in every sense
the first of the scientific bodies of England, the Royal So-
ciety, derived, as we learn from Bishop Sprott, its kends-
tion in this place. We can never forget that Bishop Wilkins,
the predecessor of my honoured friend the Vice-Chancellor
of Oxford in the government of Wm:them College, was the
chief promoter of its designs ; that Sir W. Pally, the Wrens,
Sethward, and Wallis were his associates ; and that hers,
for 14 yeses, our own great and good Robert Boyle,
pre-eminent anseagst early observers and ever emi-
nent for Christian principle, cultivated natural dance.
And, without undervaltuag tbe mighty names which do
honour to Cambridge, we may claim in Oxford the dis-
tinction of having nourished and sent forth the man
who first laid the basis of the greatest of the scientific solo-
ciations of the world. Here, then, the Britis4 Association
gladly accepts the welcome now tendered to it within this
venerable university. It was cordially received fifteen years
ago, when this chair was worthily occupied by my very
reverend friend Dr. Biteklmad. I hope and I believe that
the feeling of good will and rasped will be mutual, ender-
int., and cordial ; that the solemnity will see with plosive
the of the natural eissese, end, of the observations
which British kaseelstiest he eminently encouraged ;
sad that the sessabess of oar sesocistien will look with kind-
iness sad reopen at the venerable seats of ancient learning,

turies the bads* of a large and liberal edoestiess, sad the
