None of his early friends were there:he had survived them all. But invitations were sent to all hisscientific and private friends who could be expected to come, and alarge party assembled. The afternoon was very fine, and he sat in thegarden and received his friends (many of whom had come from lon...gdistances) in good strength and spirits. It was a most successfulgathering and was not without its meaning; for it was felt that, underthe circumstances of his failing powers, it was in all probability afinal leave-taking. --On July 27th he went down to the Greenwich ParishChurch at 9 p. M. , to be present at the illumination of the churchclock face for the first time--a matter of local interest which hadnecessitated a good deal of time and money. On this occasion at therequest of the company assembled in and around the Vestry he spoke forabout a quarter of an hour on Time--the value of accurate time, thedissemination of Greenwich time throughout the country by time-signalsfrom the Observatory, and the exhibition of it by time-balls, &c.
