This institution was the ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES OF PHILADELPHIA; and as its history, from this period, is inseparably connected WILLIAM MACLURE. 15 with the life of Mr. Maclure, let us briefly inquire into its origin and progress. The Academy was founded in January, 1812, at which period a few gentlemen, at first but seven in number, resolved to meet once in every week for the purpose of conversing on scientific subjects, and thus communicating to each other the results of their reading, o...bservation and reflection. Although Mr. Maclure was absent from the city at the initiatory meeting, he had no sooner returned than his name was enrolled on the list of members ; and from that hour, and with this circumstance, the prosperity of the institution commenced. Arrange- ments were soon after entered into for the delivery of courses of lectures, chiefly on Chemistry and Botany ; and the library and museum were at once replenished with books and specimens from Mr. Maclure's European collections.
