manufacturing chemist ; and his character in this respect, toge- 

 ther with his acquaintance with many of the scientific celebrities 

 of the continent, as well as his familiarity with the IVench lan- 

 guage, fenabled him to render great service to the young Society, 

 in the development of which he took a lively interest. 



Many foreigners of repute, attracted by the proceedings of 

 English pharmacists, were entertained by Mr. Morson. Guibourt, 

 Cap, Liebig, Mitscherlich, Bose, and many others of similar stamp 

 have been guests at various times at Southampton Eow, Queen 

 Square, or Hornsey, and have been indebted to Mr. Morson for 

 an intimate acquaintance with the Pharmaceutical Society, its 

 provisions, and proceedings. Mr. Morson was for many years on 

 the Council of the Pharmaceutical Society, and for a still longer 

 period was a member of the Board of Examiners ; and he used to 

 be a very constant attendant at the evening meetings of the 

 Society. In ISM he was elected Vice-President of the Society, 

 and for four successive years he continued to fill this office, after 

 which he was made President for a year, and again for about two 

 years in 1859-60. 



Mr. Morson retired from the Council of the Pharmaceutical 

 Society in 1870 ; but his interest in the objects and operations 

 of the Society remained undiminished ; and up to the time at 

 which his last severe illness commenced he was almost a daily 

 visitor at Bloomsbury Square. His health, however, had visibly 

 failed for many months before his death, and he often expressed 

 himself as sensible that his end was approaching. In the early part 

 of January last he had an attack of paralysis, from which he never 

 recovered ; and he died at his residence in Queen Square, Blooms - 

 bury, on the third of March last, in his 75th year. He was elected 

 a FeUow of this Society on the 5th of December, 1848. 



Dr. J. LiNDSAT Stewart was a native of Forfarshire, and re- 

 ceived his medical education in Glasgow, where he was a pupil of 

 the late Professor G. A. Walker-Arnott. After graduating, he 

 proceeded in 1856 to the Presidency of Bengal as Assistant Sur- 

 geon. He was present at the siege, assault, and capture of Delhi 

 in 1857 ; and in 1858 he joined the expedition to the Tuzufzai 

 country. In 1860-61 he officiated for Dr. "W". Jameson as Su- 

 perintendent of the Botanic Garden, Saharumpore, and of the 

 Government Tea-plantations in the North-western Provinces 

 and the Punjab ; and in 1861 he was employed in arranging a
