of England, and foreigners from every land who came with sympathy and love for truth found the most hospitable welcome. For the last five years of the Dean's life a shadow rested on its brightest side, but the cordial hospitality and hearty greeting never failed.

In the autumn of 1878 Dean Stanley made a memorable visit to America, which served to show how truly he was honored here. Few Englishmen have come to this country who have found so many friends among the best and most thoughtful men as he. And the true, unaffected interest which he had always felt in our country an interest neither patronizing nor contemptuous, but frank and hearty and sincere was deepened by his short and hurried journey. The volume of his addresses in America is the best record of how thoughtfully he observed our country and how well he understood it.

His death was as serene and peaceful as his life. After a few short days of sickness he passed away in the midst of the friends and the associations that he loved. His memory remains as one of the most brilliant and attractive in this rich generation of Englishmen, and the Academy may well rejoice that his name will always stand on the list of its honored members.

Since the last Report, the Academy has received an accession of twenty new Members, viz.: eleven Resident Fellows; eight Associate Fellows; and one Foreign Honorary Member. One Member has resigned his fellowship. The list of the Academy corrected to the date of this Report is hereto added. It includes one hundred and eighty-eight Resident Fellows, ninety-three Associate Fellows, and sixty-nine Foreign Honorary Members.
