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.
