And now, in closing this brief report, allow me to thank

faithful and impartial accounts of our periodical meetings, 
and I sincerely hope that they have given you satisfaction. 
Heartily do I acknowledge the courtesy and leniency I have 
always received at your hands, and, in the language of my 
predecessor, venture to express my sincere wish that our 
successors may take part in the discussions hereafter with 
as much pleasure and profit as we have done, assured of 
this, that if they do, they cannot fail to acquire that know- 
ledge which will be of infinite service to them in after 
life. Clement Stephenson.
