affairs and to say how much he hoped it would continue to prosper and carry on the work he felt so happy in having been able to help in beginning. Although his residence at Venice for the greater part of the year prevented him from being a regular attendant at the Society's ordinary Meetings, Sir Henry was very far from being a merely nominal President. Ample proof of this is to be seen in his literary work for the Society which is patent to all, but few can be aware of the many efforts he was constantly making to promote the Society's objects and welfare in every possible way, of the pains he took to keep himself acquainted with all its affairs, and to do all that lay in his power to prevent his absences from England being in any degree prejudicial to its interests or lowering his high standard of what should be the duties of its President. Time and trouble, talent and influence, were all ungrudgingly bestowed in the Society's service, and Sir Henry's only regret seemed to be that more work could not be found for him to do for it. Those who have been most intimately connected with him in the administration of the Society will long miss his active help, his ready tact, his wise counsel, in every matter of doubt and difficulty. But even more than all these will be missed the kindly manner, the warm heart, the many little acts of friendliness, which endeared him to his colleagues, and which will ever be a pleasant memory to them. Not long before his death, Sir Henry Layard had prepared for the press a revised and popular edition of his "Early Adventures in Persia, etc." This will shortly be published by Mr. Murray, and prefixed to it will be a Memoir of Sir Henry from the pen of his old friend, Lord Aberdare, which will give full details of the varied life of our late President.
