Mr. Lingwood, and Mr. Chandos "Wren Hoskyns, ■who have 

 been long prominent and useful members of the "Woolhope Club, 

 have retired to the Continent. In their case we may hope that 

 the separation is but a temporary one — I earnestly wish, as you 

 all do, that they may speedily return with a renewed zest for our 

 interesting pursuits. — Mr. Lingwood's services deserve a special 

 acknowledgement from us, for he was at all times most cheerfully 

 willing to assist any of us, from the stores of his extensive infor- 

 mation, on all subjects of Natural Science. 



"With warmest wishes for the success and prosperity of the 

 Club through many future years, I now retire from a post of 

 honor, which I owe to your kind indulgence, and from which I 

 have derived unmixed pleasure and enjoyment.
