the choice the Council has made of my successor in the 

 chair. Mr. South, whose return to London we all welcome, 

 is well known to you, having filled the chair eleven years 

 ago, and I am sure we may all feel that under his presidency 

 the Society will continue to flourish, and that we as a 

 Society may long look forward to that career of continued 

 progress and renewed prosperity which we all desire and I 

 think deserve. 



THOS. WM. HALL.
