“ Saffron,” and in November, 1885, one entitled “ A Few 
Portuguese Notes.” 
Mr. Corder was apprenticed to Thomas Knott, of Exeter, 
in 1843, and in 1851 he entered the School of Pharmacy, 
which had then recently been established by the Pharma- 
ceutical Society at 17 Bloomsbury Square. After a period of 
study he passed the Major Examination, and subsequently held 
a post as assistant to a South Shields pharmacist. Forty-five 
years ago he started business at Norwich, where he rapidly 
became well-known and highly respected. In the realm of 
botany he proved himself an enthusiastic and devoted student. 
Botany was to him a subject of entrancing interest, and he 
was always seen with a flower in his button-hole. He took 
pride in the beautiful garden which he maintained a few miles 
outside the city of Norwich, and devoted special attention to 
the cultivation of rare plants. He never returned from a 
holiday, whether in this country or on the Continent, without 
bringing home with him a number of uncommon* plant 
specimens. He was a member of the Board of Examiners of the 
Pharmaceutical Society from 1874 to 1894, botany naturally 
being his particular department. In 1893 he was President 
of the Nottingham meeting of the British Pharmaceutical 
Conference, when he took as the title of his address, “ Some 
Herbaceous Plants in Common Cultivation, Especially those 
Connected with Medicine.” The address proved to be a 
careful review of botany as a science. For almost ten yea, s — 
1895 to 1904 — Mr. Corder was a member of the Council of 
the Pharmaceutical Society. At Norwich he formerly took 
a goodly share in municipal affairs, but owing to his advanced 
age he resigned public work a few years ago. He will be much 
missed in the city, where he had carried on business for so 
many years ; and his old apprentices, now in business for 
themselves, will regret the passing of one to whom they owe 
in a large measure their knowledge of pharmacy and allied 
sciences. His death took place at Brundall on January 5th, 
1910, at the advanced age of 81. — Ed.
