Vm PEOCEEDINGS OF THE 



Treasurer we tad a man of refined and cultivated mind, of 

 honest and straightforward purpose, and of a simplicity and 

 kindliness of character that endeared him to all who knew him. 

 Mr. Hanbury has been taken away from us at a time of life when 

 we might still have looked forward to much and valuable work ; 

 and it now only remains for us to accept in sorrow the loss which 

 deprives the Society of a conscientious and efficient Officer, and 

 many of us of a valued friend."
