" The Countess of Cinclion and the Cinchona genus." He served 

 on the juries of the International Exhibitions in 1862 and 1867, 

 and in the former year acted as Secretary to the Jury on Vegetable 

 Products, the proceedings of which were conducted in French. 



He was also a Fellow of the Chemical Society, and a member of 

 its Council in the year 1869. 



In the year 1867, on his first nomination, he was elected a Fellow 

 of the Koyal Society, and a member of its Council in 1873. 



Of the Pharmaceutical Society he was a warm supporter almost 

 from its origin. For many years (from June 1860 to May 1872) 

 he rendered very valuable services as an examiner, often at great 

 personal inconvenience, and he was a very constant attendant at 

 the evening meetings, to the usefulness of which he often con- 

 tributed. 



In 1870 he retired from business. He was fond of travelling, 

 and in the year 1860 he visited the Holy Land with Dr. Hooker, 

 and of late years he frequently spent considerable time at the resi- 

 dence of his brother near Mentone. Here he took great delight 

 in introducing into the beautiful gardens the vast variety of inte- 

 resting plants which can there be acclimatized. 



In his frequent travels he seemed to have acquired something 

 of the continental practice of using but little meat in propor- 

 tion to the vegetable food taken. His diet was always spare, 

 and it may be doubted whether his health did not suffer from 

 the abstemiousness of his habit of Hviug, coupled with the con- 

 stant strain to which he subjected his mental powers. Though 

 never robust, his health rarely impeded his activity, and slight 

 ailments were resolutely disregarded. There were no indications 

 of approaching illness until he was attacked with a severe rigor 

 about the 6th of March ; this was followed by serious inflam- 

 mation of the mouth, and on the subsidence of this local affec- 

 tion symptoms of typhoid fever appeared. On the 18th his 

 condition first caused serious alarm. "With little apparent 

 change his strength gradually failed, and he died on the evening 

 of the 24th of March, in his 50th year. 



Mr. Hanbury remained to the last a member of the Society of 

 Friends, amongst whom he had been brought up. He was elected 

 a Fellow of our Society on the 5th of December, 1855, frequently 

 served on the Council, and held the ofiice of Treasurer at the time 

 of his death. The universal regret felt upon this event cannot be 

 better expressed than in the words of our President, Dr. All-
