    (translation.) Sir, Stuttgard, 1st Oct. 1827. His Majesty the King of Wurtemberg, my august Sove- reign, has directed me to inform you, that He has received the letter which you addressed to Him on the 28th of Au- gust last, accompanied by a copy of the fifty-third Annual Report of the Royal Humane Society, and some Manuals of the methods of restoring persons apparently dead. His Majesty commands me at the same time to beg you to thank, in His name, the Committee of the Society for this mark of their attention; and to add, that the King will give orders that the above methods may be employed in all His States, where similar ones are not already in use, or less efficacious means are resorted to for the accomplish- ment of the benevolent views of the Royal Society. Accept, Sir, the assurances of my perfect consideration. The Secretary of State, Vellnagel. To Mr. Frost, Secretary of the Royal Humane Society, London. It will be highly gratifying to the Governors and friends of the Society to know that, during the past year, One Hundred and Ninety-five cases have been laid before the Committee, out of which number One Hundred and Seventy-five were successful; and no less than One Hun- dred and Thirty-one Claimants have been rewarded. The Committee have much pleasure in inserting Mr. Highmore’s annual letter, which holds out ample encou- ragement to similar institutions throughout the country.
