It will be in the recollection of the Society that on the appearance of the first volume of the “History of Caesar ” by the Emperor Napoleon, the Council took occasion to express to His Imperial Majesty their high esteem for the learning and ability and the power of antiquarian investigation which that work displays. The wish, which at the same time they took the liberty of stating, that we might be allowed the honor of adding His Majesty's name to our list of Fellows, received a gracious response, and we have now, as you are aware, the great gratification to see the Sovereign of France enrolled among us as a Royal Fellow.
