At a Meeting of the Class attendant upon Dr. Hollick's Select Lectures
on the Physiology and Philosophy of the "Origin of Life" in Plants and
Animals, held at the Lecture Room of the Museum, Wednesday evening,
December 1, 1844, George G. West, Esq., was called to the Chair, and
Samuel W. Black appointed Secretary.
_Resolved_, That we have listened with unfeigned pleasure and interest
to the Course of Lectures delivered by Dr. Hollick, and now brought
to a close, and that we deem it an act of justice to him and the
community, to express our entire confidence in his character, ability,
and the manner of illustrating his subject, which, to use the words of
a daily journal, "is couched in such delicate as well as perspicuous
language, that the most fastidious could find no fault, nor the idlest
curiosity go away unimproved."
_Resolved_, That a committee of three be appointed to tender to Dr. H.
the thanks of the Class for his courtesy to the members in affording
them every facility for obtaining information upon the subject of his
Lectures, and that he be requested to repeat the Course at the earliest
period consistent with his other engagements.
Published in all the Philadelphia daily papers of December 14, 1844,
and signed by _one hundred and forty_ of the most respectable and
influential inhabitants.

_Resolved_, That we have listened with great pleasure and interest to
Dr. Hollick's Lectures, and are happy to add our testimony to the many

as a benefactor of his race, and especially of our sex, we cordially
wish for him abundant success, and ample reward in the consciousness of
doing good.
_Resolved_, That we will exert ourselves to induce our female friends
and acquaintances to avail themselves of the great and rare privilege
of obtaining the valuable instruction imparted in these Lectures in so
chaste and dignified a manner.
