Nothing now remains to him except the pleasing duty of offering his best and most cordial thanks to the gentle men named in the ensuing list - to whose activity and punctuality it is owing that the scheme has been realised, and the' Work completed in a comparatively short period; and whose zealous cooperation has lightened his labours and made the occupation interesting and pleasant. It would be ungrateful on the part of the Editor not to add that the scheme originated with his friend and colleague Mr. Pollock, and was first brought into actual movement through his in?uence; and that he has lent most valuable advice and assistance throughout its progress. The heavy pecuniary risks connected with it were undertaken by the late Mr. J. W. Parker jun., mainly in consequence of his interest in a profession in which he had many friends; and the Editor cannot conclude his task without renewed ex pressions of regret for the loss of one whom he had learned to esteem, and who was esteemed by all (and they were many) with whom he was connected.
