President : Rev. E. T. Stubbs, M.A. 



N taking my seat as your President for this year, 



I have to thank you in the first instance for the 



honour you have done me, in electing me to this 



high position, for which I feel myself so unworthy. 



You will allow me in taking the chair, to say a 



few words about our Society itself I feel that 



those words are to reach forth to a further and a 



wider circle than that now before me, and that 



they will become known, not only to the members 



of the Postal Microscopical Society who are in 



this room, and to the kind visitors and guests who have honoured 



us with their presence, but to many others besides. 



This address, then, is for a more extended audience than this 

 room contains, for I know that by means of our Journal, as well 

 as by other ways, what I say now will be read by the members of 

 Vol. V. B
