1 PBOCEEDINGS OP THE 



man, who, at the meetiBg on the 1st of April, 1875, said: — "In 

 our late Treasurer we had 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 de- 

 prives the Society of a conscientious and efficient officer, and many 

 of us of a valued friend." 



In what high esteem he was held upon the Continent is shown by 

 the remarks of M. Naudin, in the ' Eevue Horticole,' where, after 

 alluding to the part taken by Mr. Hanbury in the ' Pharmaco- 

 graphia,' and to his death, M. Naudin says : — " C'est un malheur 

 pour la science qu'il cultivait avec intelligence et ardeur, mais il 

 se survivra a lui-meme par I'important travail auquel il a consacre 

 sa vie, et par les souvenirs qu'il laisse dans le coeur des uombreux 

 amis qu'il s'etait faits par la delicatesse de ses sentiments, sa ge- 

 nerosite et I'amenite de son caractere."
