Peale's Museum was quartered in its hall, too, until it was moved into Independ- ence Hall; and when it was finally moved to the Chinese Museum, at Xinth and Sansom Streets, it was destroyed by fire, — a great loss, for it included many rare and valual)le objects. Before trade and finance invaded its quiet Fifth Street hall, part of its building was occupied by ^\v. John Vaughan, for fifty years its Secretary, and every travelling foreigner of distinction and every American of note was entertai...ned at his Sunday morning breakfasts, and a record of all the famous men who shared his hospitality could be gathered from such books as " The Travels of the Duke of Saxe- Weimar" and "The Life of George Ticknor." After Vaughan's death, Dr. Caspar Wistar, the President of the Philosophical Society, made his Sunday evening gatherings noteworthy, and on his death his friends perpetuated his memory by founding the AVistar Club, of which to this day most of the members are also members of the Philosojihieal Society.
