Excerpt from The Canadian Entomologist, Vol. 7: January, 1876 As I mentioned at the outset, you have done me the great honour of electing me your President for five years in succession 3 while I thank you most cordially for your kindness and consideration so repeatedly shown to me, I feel that it is only reasonable that I should now make way for some one else, who may be able to devote more time and energy to the interests of our Society, and be of more real use to it than I have latterly been capable of. I beg, therefore, to resign into your hands the office that you have so long honoured me with 3 at the same time I desire to say that I shall continue always to have the welfare of the Society at heart, and that I shall ever be ready and willing to do all that lies in my power to advance its best interests. Again Offering you my respectful thanks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
