Describes CD’s qualifications for Copley Medal.
Council of the Royal Society have awarded CD the Copley Medal.
Hopes CD will be able to receive the Copley Medal in person. HF sees it as doubly significant in recognising CD’s work and as a protest against the profession of religious as opposed to scientific faith.
Is sure that any of CD’s friends would be proud to accept the medal on his behalf.
The [Royal Society] President’s address is in the Reader [4 (1864): 708–9], but one or two sentences have been omitted.
