In looking over the list of officers and Council of the Royal Societythe weakest perhaps (for purposes of science) which was ever made, aconsolation arises from the possibility of some of those who were placedthere by way of compliment, occasionally attending. In that contractedfield Lord Melville's penetration may not be uselessly employed; and thesoldier who presides over our colonies may judge whether the principleswhich pervade it are open and liberal as his own. The inconvenience to the pu...blic service from such an arrangement is, that the number out of which the advisers are selected must, inany case, be very small; and may, from several circumstances, beconsiderably reduced. In a council fairly selected, to judge ofthe merits of the various subjects likely to be brought under theconsideration of the Society, anatomy, chemistry, and the differentbranches of natural history, will share with the numerous departments ofphysical science, in claiming to be represented by persons competentlyskilled in those subjects.
