Excerpt from Memoir on the Megatherium, and Other Extinct Gigantic Quadrupeds of the Coast of Georgia: With Observations on Its Geologic Features I had been honored by an invitation from the National Institute, established at Washington, to read a paper before that body, on some subject con nected with the progress of science. Having accept ed that invitation, I was placed in the position of the traveller who had requested an interview with Mohammed Ali, the Pacha of Egypt.
