Thus has a review of the proceedings been offered. 
Further to particularise would occupy too much time, and 
not be accompanied with a corresponding advantage. 
And now, in taking my leave of office, I beg, gentlemen, to 
tender you my most sincere thanks for the honour conferred 
upon me in electing me your acting secretary. And allow 
me to state, that it has always been my earnest desire to 
render a faithful and impartial report of the proceedings 
that have taken place at our periodical meetings, and from 
the kindness and courtesy I have universally received at 
your hands, I am emboldened to hope that my humble efforts 
have met with your approval. 
I beg to subscribe myself your most obedient servant, 
William C. Branford.
