Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Transactions, Vol. 24: 1874-75
It is with deep regret that the Council has to record the loss Of more than the average number of members by death during the past year. Mr. Thomas Emerson Forster, one of the original founders and a past presi dent Of the Institute, born at Allenheads in 1802, died on the 7th day Of March, 1875. This gentleman was intimately connected with the mining interests of Great Britain, and was everywhere known by his ability, indefatigable industry, shrewdness, sagacity, and large-hearted generosity. He was an ardent supporter of the Institute, and a kind and benevolent friend; and his loss has been felt by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. A memoir Of his life is incourse Of preparation, and will be read before an early meeting of the Institute.
