this TENTH DAY OF MAY 1888
1.-THE reference to the seal attached 10
the document makes necessary a short
statement as TO its adoption. 1t was form
ed with two faces, one for legislative acts,
deeds and commissions, and the other the
common seal, for grants, orders, etc. The
device on the one was two figures resting
on urns, representing the rivers Savan-
nah and Altamaha, the northeastern and
southwestern boundaries of the province,
between which the genius of the colony
was seated, with a cap of liberty on her
head spear in one hand and q cornuco-
pia in the other, with the inscription.
"COLONIA GEORGIA AUG"
On the other face was a representation
of silk worms, some beginning and others
completing their labors, which were char
acterized by the motto,
MON SIBI SEQ ALIIs."
ut is known to all of our members" Mr.
Harden said, in discussing the gift. that
this society at the time of its founding
adopted as its seal the diverse side of that
discarded seal. with the motto of the re-
verse side, and that 1t is imprinted upon
all of the society's publications. For many
years search has been made in this coun-
try for some paper Bearing the design on
the silk worms, but without success, We
have now found one such document exist
ing in England, but it is to be regretted
that the photograph does not show the de-
vice distinctly. Probably an ATTEMPT to
nave the seal alone photographed would
give better result, and 1t would be well /
think, to make application to the vestry
Of the church for such photograph.
But the interest Of our society in this
Church of ST. Margaret is not confined 10
the Incident of this evening, as will now
show. ssHs
ut may not be known to many of o,r
members that the remains Of Sir Walter.
Raleigh, with the exception of the head.
which it is said was given TO his wife al
the time of his execution, and kept by her
until her death, are buried in that church
The proceedings of the Massachusetts His
torical Society, at the June meeting, 1880
show that a suggestion had been made by
the Rev. F. w. Farrar, then canon OF
Westminster and rector Of st. Margaret's
Church, now Dean of Canterbury that
a window in memory OF Raleigh would be
an appropriate tribute from Americans. IN
whose history his name occupies so proml-
nent a place. A letter from Canon Farrar
was read, and a subscription paper, start
4 l,rrA 4Iar,f a., r
hibited. The project excited considera BILE
interest among the members present, and
the president was requested to bring the
matter to the attention of other historical
societies. The subscription paper was
committed to the treasurer for the gift of
individual mem bers,'
1.-THE suggestion that the interest of 9TH
er historical societies be invoked in this
matter met with encouragement, and the
proceedings of our Georgia Society show
that at the December meeting, Of the same
year. the chairman read a letter from
Hon Robert c. Winthrop Of Massachu-
