99 



clerk in H.M. Office of Woods and Forests, retiring in 1892. A 

 man of wide reading and varied tastes, he had many interests 

 outside microscopy. Social problems had a special fascination for 

 him. For over thirty years he was an ardent supporter of the 

 total abstinence cause, and during the latter part of his life he 

 devoted much time to the work of the Salvation Army, to which 

 he had been attracted at a time when it required no little courage 

 for a man in Mr. Jaques' position to avow himself a supporter of 

 that cause. Of broad sympathies and singularly benevolent dis- 

 position, he will be missed and affectionately remembered by a 

 wide circle of friends.
