Summary:
"Nothing more flattering" to the Linnean Society than being permitted to enrol the Prince Regent [George IV (1762-1830)] as an Honorary Member. Accepted his own invitation to become an Honoary Member from respect he bears the Society and for feeling it did not imply the slightest degree of botanical knowledge; considers Fellowship in a different point of view.
