THE PHAEMACEUTICAL JOURNAL. 
[July 2, 1870. 
To me besides it is a grief that Mr. Charles Savory 
has not been allowed to take that position to which 
he is so fully entitled, and to discharge the duties of 
which he is so admirably competent. But one tiling 
disturbs me—that I should have been so fearfully 
misinterpreted as to cause a suspicion that I had 
raised a sarcasm at the expense of Mr. Brady. This 
was not particularly probable as with one exception 
he is the nearest friend I have, and no Pharmacist 
can be prouder of his scientific reputation than my¬ 
self. 
It is my fortune, or misfortune, in this case the 
latter, to be a diligent reader of French. In that 
language the commonest of all common things is to 
impute as a fault a known, acknowledged excellence. 
"When a celebrated songstress was addressed thus, 
■“ Madame vous etes charmante, bien que vous savez 
chanter,” the lady did not resent as an insult the 
remark regarding her vocal abilities. That a phar¬ 
macist at Newcastle should be engaged in scientific 
pursuits or devoted to the study of Natural History, 
is to Iris highest praise. My Leader assumed this to 
be understood. 
"What is this about ? I state that to appoint on 
Committee work those who live at considerable dis¬ 
tances is unwise and injudicious. So it is. Should 
this sentiment be considered a depreciation of Pro¬ 
vincial ability, I repudiate the notion. I am an 
officer and Member of the British Pharmaceutical 
Conference winch alone would be sufficient denial. 
Last month I left for the next five years, the thorny 
path of Journalism: but I would ask the readers of 
this Journal not always to expect to be written to as 
an Infant School. Let them give and take—let 
them allow a man to have an opinion of his own. 
Meanwhile do not visit my sins on the Editor. 
He was less likely to scrutinize my short essay because 
I was on the regular staff, and my contributions have 
never yet been refused. I had requested that space 
should be reserved for my article among the leaders, 
and there was little time left for deliberation after 
the manuscript was sent. The issue of the Journal 
was delayed to admit of alterations which the Editor 
suggested, but I am solely responsible for the article 
as it stands. 
Nothing remains but for me to thank Professor 
Eedwood for his courtesy and his editorial care in 
this instance.
