I rejoice in the election of Dr.
Wistar [to the presidency of the Philosophical
Society], and trust that his senior standing in
the Society will have been considered as a fair
motive of preference of those whose merits,
standing alone, would have justly entitled them
to the honor, and who, as juniors, according to
the course of nature, may still expect their
turn.—
