Mr. Fox Talbot. The many important discoveries made by you in Photography, discoveries ta which I have adverted when addressing the Society on another occasion, discoveries which seen, with those of na analogous nature made by a Neipse, and a Daguerre, to open to us the vista of discoveries still more vast and curious, undoubtedly well entitle you to the honour of the Rumford Medal at our hands. Your papers, inded, have been so great an ornament to our volumes, that we can never sufficiently express our thanks to you for them. Itrust that you will not desert so promising a line of inquiry, and that our Transactions may receive from you still greater acquisitions of knowledge in the path which is traced by light itself.
