Foreign Department

Abstract

cordially for the kindness and attention with which you have listened to my address. I should not have consented to occupy the honourable position in which I have this day been placed, had I not felt, as I said at the commencement, that I should have the kind assistance of Mr. Martin. I trust that I may have many like opportunities of meeting my professional brethren, for no one I can assure you feels more than I do the truth of the words of Harvey that I have just quoted, " that these meetings tend to the honour of theprqfession, and cause us to continue mutually in love."
