EXTRACT FROM THE RECORDS. AT the Annual Meeting of the American Oriental SOCIETY, held at the Rooms of the American Academy on the 29th of May, 1846, the following resolution was offered by Mr. Greenough, and adopted: Resolved, That in the death of the President of this Society, under whose auspices it was founded, and to whom its principal efficiency was due, it has experienced a loss greatly to be deplored; that in review of his manifold accomplishments as a scholar and philologist, of his untiring diligence in the acquisition of knowledge, of his never failing kindness of heart and of his ready sympathies with the young student, the community in which he lived can hardly appreciate the magnitude of its privation; that in our personal communications with him as President of this Society, and as an earnest well-wisher to its success, we have ever experienced a willingness to further its objects, a full understanding of the wide extent to be included in its labors, and a ready hand to assist according to the measure of his time; that to his name and reputation it is greatly indebted; and that there be communicated to his family the warmest sympathies of the Society for the loss they have sustained. b OFFICERS OF THE AMERICAN ORIENTAL SOCIETY. 1846-47.
