In view of all the circumstances and of the difficulties which the case presented, one may reasonably affirm that when the honored and venerated chief-justice gave validity to the decree of the court, he might have felt the full assurance that Count Rumford himself would have dictated its terms. In the year 1839 the Academy gave, from the inter- est of the Rumford Fund, the sum of six hundred dol- lars to Dr. Hare, of Philadelphia, in consideration of his invention of the compound blow-pipe and... his improvements in galvanic apparatus. The Rumford Medal was awarded by the Academy, in 1862, to John B. Ericsson for his caloric engine. * In 1865 the Medal was awarded to Daniel Treadwell, former Rumford Professor in Harvard College, for improvements in the management of heat. F On Feb- ruary 26, 1867, the Medal was presented to Alvan Clark for improvement in the lens of the refracting telescope. On January 11, 1870, the Medal was presented to George H. Corliss for improvements in the steam- engine.
