Excerpt from Transactions of the American Philosophical Society, Held at Philadelphia, for Promoting Useful Knowledge, 1825, Vol. 2 In the year 1805, he received from Mr. Jefferson, President of the United States, with whom he had been in habits of friendship, the unsolicited apc pointment of Director of the national Mint. This office he filled with great reputation until his last illness, when he resigned, and his son in law, Dr. Moore, was appointed by President Monroe in his place. In the year 1816 the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, in testimony of their approbation of his long tried talents and services, conferred on him the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. That he should be a Fellow of the American Philosophical Society was a matter of course. He was elected in 1783, and remained an active, zealous, and useful Member to the time of his death. He was chosen Secretary in 1784, vice-president in 1799, and ultimately in 1819 raised to the Chair which had been filled by Franklin, Rittenhouse, Jefferson, and Wistar.

Should a grand jury hear evidence on both sides? But I find that I am presenting to the audience a catalogue of que ries, which is likely to run into too great a length; and I must there fore content myself now with saying that questions of equal interest were offered on many other speculative and practical subjects; and that the members followed the example of Franklin, by also discuss ing projects for the advantage Of the city: such as the education Of children at the public expense; the establishment of public baths; means Of supplying the poor with fire-wood at a moderate cost, - and the like. In the records, a summary of the debates is given by the secretary, but it is remarkable that the names of the speakers are never men honed. One of the exercises required of the members was what is called in the minutes a declamation. It seems to have been an unwelcome task, for fines were frequently imposed for its neglect. Although the term declamation was used, it consisted simply of a written paper, read by the author. Thus in February, 1760, there is the following minute.
