An address having been read by the Town Clerk, the freedom of the city, inclosed in a massive gold box...was presented by the Lord Provost to the right hon. gentleman, who, on receiving it, warmly shook hands with the chief magistrate, and then turned to address the meeting, by whom he was received with loud and long-continued cheering.

Silence having at length been restored, Mr. Gladstone delivered his speech'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865. Presentation of the Freedom of the City of Glasgow to the Rt. Hon. W.E.

The Dutch Church, Austinfriars, recently restored, 1865. 'The church, or chapel, [in Austin Friars, London] formerly belonging to the monastery of Augustine Friars, which was founded in 1243...was...granted by the King, in 1530, to a congregation of Dutch or German sojourners in London, "to have their service in, for avoiding of all sects of Ana-Baptists, and such like."...It has lately undergone a complete restoration, from the designs of a young architect, Mr. William Lightly...The present fabric is the nave only of the original building...The internal walls are of chalk, and have been carefully restored; the external facing is of Kentish rag, the restoration of which has also been completed. The window-tracery, where too much decayed to be retained, has been restored with new Portland stone, and all the windows have been reglazed with plain glass, by Messrs. Powell...The tie-beams which secure the walls together form an important feature of the design...The new interior fittings are all of oak, as are also the two vestries at the ends of the north and south aisles. The general works have been carried out by Messrs. Browne and Robinson; the oak fittings, by Mr. Spawl, of Norwich; the encaustic tile paving, by Mr. Godwin, of Hereford'.

MEETING OF THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION AT BIRMINGHAM: PROFESSOR PHILLIPS...IN THE TOWNHALL, 1865. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Meeting of the British Association at Birmingham: Professor Phillips, the President, delivering the Inaugural Address in the Townhall, 1865. 'There were probably about 1500 ladies and gentlemen present; but the hall is so vast that even a much larger audience would scarcely make the place appear to be full. The roof and columns are lavishly decorated, while the galleries and area are quite plain. The assemblage of learned men on the platform was imposing enough...there were present Sir Charles Lyell, Professor Phillips, Sir Roderick Murchison, and a strong muster of the notabilities of science; also Lords Stanley and Lyttelton and several knights and baronets. In the audience there was a fair proportion of ladies, while amongst the other sex, both here and on the platform, there was that remarkable diversity of physiognomy which seems to be a peculiar effect of the pursuit of science. Professor Phillips delivered his address very quietly, and was not heard distinctly throughout the hall. The meeting was slow to applaud, and it was not until the ice had been broken by the allusion to the scientific balloon ascents of Mr. Glaisher that cheers followed the periods in their due order'.
