I had intended to have printed a list of those persons to whom the Royal Society had in past years awarded the Copley medals; and the reasons for which they were given; but having applied to the Council for permission to employ an amanuensis; to copy those awards; either from the minutes; or from the volumes of the Philosophical Transactions; I was surprised at receiving a refusal。 I confess it appeared to me; that as a whole; those adjudications did us credit; although I doubted the propriety of many individual cases。 As; however; the Council seem to have had a different opinion; and as I had made the application through courtesy; I shall decline printing a list; every individual portion of which has been already published in many ways; although the whole has never been printed in a collected form。
