MONUMENT TO THE MEMORY OF THE LATE
MR. WATT.

AT a GENERAL MEETING of the INHABI-
TANTS of GREENOCK. held within the Town Hall
there, on Tuesday the anth instant,

ARCHIBALD BA INR, Esq. Chief Magistrate, in the Chair,

The following RESOLUTIONS were unanimously agreed to :
I. That this Meeting observe, with the highest satisfaction, that
Subscriptions have been opened in London and elsewhere, for the
purpose of Earcrian a NATIONAL MONUMINT to the Malone of our
distinguished Townsman, the late JAMES WATT, &Q.
IL That while this Meeting warmly approve of the intention of
placing such Monument in London, they are of opinion that the
services which this illustrious Individual has conferred en this
Country and on Mankind, have been so astonishingly great and
altogether unparalleled, that Scotland, as the Country of his Nati-
vity, is peculiarly called upon to Erect her Separate Tribute of
Attachment to his Memory, and of Admiration of his Genius.

111. That GREENOCK being the place in which Mr. WATT
was Born and Educated, u well as the Birth-place and Residence
of his Ancestors, it undoubtedly becomes the most appropriate
situation in Scotland for such Separate Monument.
IV. That while the Meeting indulge a confident expectation
that such will be the opinion of the People of Scotland in general,
they, in the meanwhile, appoint the following Committee for the
purpose of procuring Subscriptions, and effecting all the other
purposes which to them may seem necessary, for accomplishing
the object of Erecting, in GREENOCK, a MONUMENT to the',
MEMORY of Mr. WATT:
