JANGES BAIN DEL. 
The death of Dr. Bain in the prime of his useful life was 
a sore affliction to his many friends and a severe blow to 
the Canadian Institute with which he had been connected for 
many years, having faithfully, in successive years, discharged 
the duties of Member of Council, Secretary, Treasurer, and 
President. From infancy he lived in the atmosphere of books 
(for his father was a bookseller), and his subsequent experi- 
ence as a publisher eminently qualified him for the office of 
Librarian to the Toronto Public Library, the development 
of which was the passion of the last twenty-five years of his 
life. With pride he watched the erection of the splendid 
building in which the Library is now housed, but he was not 
permitted to see its completion. The end came on 22nd May, 
1908. 
Multis ille bonis flebilis occidit.
