Abstract
IT is a matter of much pleasure to me that I am allowed the A privilege of speaking at a joint session of this Association—representing as it does within the confines of its admirable organisation the scientific thought of our country. This is the Mecca towards which annually journey all those who wish, each to contribute his mite to the sum of human knowledge; each inspired with an ambition to add even one flickering ray to the great luminous orb which to-day is shedding the benign light of wisdom even unto the uttermost recesses of the earth; subduing the barbarous instincts of man, and warming and invigorating into life the better impulses of his nature. Thus is civilisation advanced, and thus is humanity elevated to higher and higher planes of existence.
