( Ivi ) 



For myself, I accept the position to which you have been 

 pleased to re-elect me with mingled gratitude and regret — with 

 regret that my qualifications for the office fall so far short of my 

 desires, with gratitude for your kindly recognition of my poor 

 endeavours to further the interests of the Society. 



I beg to nominate, as my Vice-Presidents, Sir Sidney 

 Saunders, Mr. Pascoe, and Mr. Meldola.
