THE ROYAL SOCIETY.
ILLEGAL AWARD OF THE ROYAL MEDAL.
(From the Lancet of May 9.)
We have received the following letter. and the ac-
companying correspondence, from Dr. Robert Lee.
This we propose to treat after the same manner as the
documents recently furnished by Dr. Marshall Hall,
and we shall take some future opportunity of setting
forth what Dr. Lee professes to have done in his dis-
coveries.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LANCET.
Sir,—l consider it to be my duty, on public grounds,
to place the accompanying letters in your hands.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
4, Saville-row, April 24, 1846. ` R. LEE.
The following correspondence arose, as will be seen,
out of the award of the Royal medal in Physiology to
Mr. Beck :
LETTER FROM DR. LEE TO DR. ROGET.

4, Saville-row, 13th Nov. 1845.
My dear Sir,—You were present, I believe, at the
meeting of the physiological committee, when it was
recommended to award the Royal medal to Mr. Beck.
Did it not occur to you, that it would have been proper
to have compared the dissections of Mr. Beck with those
I had recently made, before coming to a decision, which
will have the effect of making it appear that all my
descriptions and delineations of the nerves of the uterus
are incorrect ?—I remain, my dear sir, very faithfully
yours, ROBERT LEE.
To Dr. Roget.
DR. ROGET'S REPLY.

18, Upper Bedford-place, Nov. 13, 1845.
My dear Sir,—The Committee of Physiology had
received, before they came to the decision respecting the
award of the royal medal, which you refer to in your
letter of this morning, two separate reports on Mr.
Beck's paper, drawn up by the referees, to whom it had
been sent for examination, and for their opinion of its
merits, and the recommendation by the Committee of
the award of one of the royal medals to the author of
the paper was made, after these reports had been read to
them, and taken into their consideration, at one of the
fullest meetings of that Committee we have ever had.
These reports, being

that the Royal medal for the year was not to be awarded in
the physiological section, and Mr. Lawrence consequently
left the chair, and quitted the room. This gentleman lett
further examination of the record in-
was I
Dinr.hßoastge,e4tmodn was-the only one who had gone, when
formed us that he bad been mistaken, and that it was
absolutely necessary that the recommendation of the
Royal medal should take place on that day. In perfect
good faith, and I am sure without any bias for or against
any particular pap?r, the Committee again took their
seats, Dr. Todd being in the chair. A list was then
made by myself of all the physiological papers that had
been read during the last three years : each paper was
considered seriatim ; and Mr. Beck's paper was, after
much consideration, selected for recommendation for the
award of the Royal medal."
Thus, then, as we remarked last week, it appears from
the pen of the Secretary to the Committee, that " the
Royal medal in physiology is so inconsequential a mat-
ter, that the Committee come to the meeting which is
to recommend its award, without knowing what they
have to do ; and at the fag-end of this sitting, they,
without any previous consideration or examination, re-
commend its award to a paper which only two of them
had seen, and which was well known to be the subject
of controversy."
We understand that fifteen papers were put up for
the medal. How could this Committee fairly judge of
fifteen papers impromptu? They might almost as well
have allowed the authors to prick for the medal 1
Part of the "usual routine business" was the re-
commending Mr. Owen for the Copley medal ; but Mr.
Owen was a member of the Council, and, as such, a
medal could not be awarded to him without violating
the regulations of the Royal Society ; this recommenda-
tion was therefore cancelled. The fact of their can-
celling this recommendation is a reason why they
should also have cancelled the recommendation to Mr.
Beck, when that was found to have been made in oppo-
. sition to the regulations. This ineitlent reaptoting air,
