216 ANNUAL MEETING. 



86th annual report 



The Council of the Eoyal Institution of Cornwall have 

 pleasure in presenting their 86th anniial report, and to be able 

 to announce the continued prosperity of the society. Founded in 

 1818 by such well known men as Vivian, Enys, Daniell, Tweedy, 

 Dr. Taunton, Dr. Potts, and many others, it is pleasing to know 

 that the descendants of some of these gentlemen are living and 

 still associated with our society. One of the most honoured 

 amongst them we are delighted to see with us to-day at this 

 meeting : our good friend Mr. J. D. Enys. It was a Mr. 

 Francis Enys who presided at the second meeting held for the 

 formation of this institution, on the 2nd March, 1818. There 

 was a reference at that meeting to a letter of a complimentary 

 nature having been received from Dr. Forbes, secretary to the 

 Geological Society of London, which showed that the efforts 

 being made at that time to found this society were duly recog- 

 nised and appreciated in the scientihc world. 



We have unfortunately to regret the loss by death of six of 

 our members : Canon A. P. ISIoor, Canon Aug. B. Donaldson, 

 Sir Clement Le Neve Foster, Mr. T. King, C.B., Mr. H. Barrett, 

 and Mr. T. Worth. 



Canon Allen Page Moor was born at Woodbridge, in 

 Suffolk, and was educated at Yarmouth and Norwich, and after- 

 wards proceeded to Trinity College, Cambridge. On leaving the 

 latter place Mr. Moor became connected with the Missionary 

 College of St. Augustine at Canterbury, of which he was 

 appointed the first fellow. He resigned his appointment there 

 as sub-warden in 1866. In 1872 he was appointed by the lord 

 chancellor to the living of St. Clement's, which he held for a 

 period of 28 years. By the death of Canon Moor the institution 

 has suffered a severe loss. His membership dates from the time 

 when he came into the county, and he at once took an active and 

 prominent part in its proceedings, and was most constant in his 

 attendance at our meetings. He rendered valuable service, and 

 by his influence induced many of his friends to become sub- 

 scribers. 



Sir Clement Le Neve Foster was born at Camberwell in 

 1841. After receiving a scientific education at the Poyal School 

 of Mines, London, and at the Mining College, Freiburg, he was
