This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the publisher to a library and finally to you.
Usage guidelines
Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.
+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.
+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

PROCEEDINGS AT THE FORTY-FIRST ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION.
Held at Bidbford, July 29th to August 1st, 1902.
For the second time the Association accepted the invitation of the "men of Bideford" to hold its Annual Meeting in "the little white town on the hill," and on the 29th July Members from all parts began to arrive.
At two o'clock the meeting of the Council was held in the old Council Chamber, Sir Roper Lethbridge presiding. The list of Reports and Papers received for presentation and reading was considered and settled. The Treasurer brought up his Report, and the Report of the Council to be pre- sented to the Members at the Annual Meeting was agreed upon.
At 430 the Worshipful the Mayor (Mr. E. J. Tattersill), the Magistrates, Aldermen, and Council of Bideford received the Association at the Town Hall, which was crowded with Members and their hosts. The Mayor, in an admirable speech, warmly welcomed the Association to the ancient town, and referred to the writings of Kingsley, who was President when the Society held its Meeting in Bideford in 1871, and how much they had done to make the town and its attractions known all over the world.
Sir Roper Lethbridge, the President, returned the thanks of the Members for the very warm welcome they had re- ceived, and referred at length to the history of the town and neighbourhood in which they met.
The Meeting of Members followed, when a large number of new Members were elected, and the resignations of others were accepted. The Report of the Council (printed p. 26) and the Treasurer's Report and audited Balance Sheet (printed pp. 28-9) were received and adopted.
By the kind invitation of Admiral Sir William Dowell and Lady Dowell the Members attended a garden-party at their delightful residence, Ford.
At eight o'clock, in the Town Hall, the outgoing Presi- dent, Sir Roper Lethbridge, formally introduced the new

PROCEEDINGS AT THE ANNUAL MEETING. 21
President. In this case no introduction was needed, for from the foundation of the Association the Rev. W. Harpley has been closely connected with it, and has done much in raising it to its present position of prosperity, having, until his resignation in 1900, through the whole course of its existence, with satisfaction to the Members and credit to himself, discharged the onerous duties of General Secre- tary, and that for many years past single-handed. The vote of thanks to the President for his address was moved by the Mayor of Bideford, seconded by Sir John B. Phear, and it was carried by acclamation.
On Wednesday the reading of the Reports and accepted papers commenced. Discussion followed the reading of many of these. Soon after four o'clock the proceedings were adjourned to the next day. The following is the full list:—

A visit to Yeo Vale, a charming house in a lovely valley, full of valuable and beautiful things, was made later in the day. Major and Mrs. Morrison-Kirkwood, who had asked the Members to afternoon tea there, gave them a very cordial reception. The ancient chapel of the house, which be- longed to the Yeos and Giffards, and which was situated west of the entrance to the present house, and very near it, was removed long since to a site on the other side of the road, and appears to be now ruinous.
The Annual Dinner took place in the evening, the Presi- dent in the chair. About a hundred and twenty were present, and a very pleasant evening was passed, the speeches being brief and to the point.

PROCEEDINGS AT THE ANNUAL MEETING. 23
On Thursday morning the members again assembled in large numbers, when the reading and discussion of papers was resumed. The list was gone through and the work completed by three o'clock, when the proceedings of the adjourned Annual Meeting were resumed. The invitation of the Urban District Council of Sidmouth to hold the Annual Meeting at Sidmouth in 1903, with Sir Edgar Vincent as President, was accepted, and the list of Vice-Presidents and officers approved. Hearty votes of thanks to the Local Committee for the use of the rooms provided for the Meeting, and for the excellent arrangements made for the comfort and convenience of the Members, and to Mr. F. A. Searle, the Local Treasurer and Secretary, for his services in connection with this Meeting, were passed. In support- ing this last resolution, Mr. Alderman Dymond and Mr. Brooking- Eowe spoke in the highest terms of the services rendered by Mr. Searle, the latter, as one of the general Officers, bearing testimony to the great value of Mr. Searle's assistance, which had caused all the proceedings connected with the Meeting to be so satisfactory.
After the reading of Mr. Burnard's paper on "The Dis- appearing Stone Monuments of Dartmoor," it was decided that the question of the great mischief being done to pre- historic remains in the county should be brought forward later at the Meeting of Members. Mr. Kobert Burnard now moved the following resolution : —
"That this meeting desires to record its protest against the gradual destruction of the Ancient Stone Monuments of the Forest of Dartmoor and the Commons of Devon — especially on the areas adjacent to highways — and expresses the hope that prompt and effective steps may be taken to bring this destruction under the notice of Members of Parliament, the Duchy of Corn- wall, the County Council, District Councils, the Society of Antiquaries, the National Trust, Landowners, Lords of Manors, Commoners, and others, so that these monuments may be pre- served for the instruction and pleasure of future generations. This meeting is of opinion, that as much of this destruction is caused by road-menders, who are empowered to remove surface stones from commons and wastes under the Highway Act of William IV., such part of this Act conferring this power should be repealed, and all road-metalling derived from quarries, to the advantage of the roads and the preservation of the monuments."
This was carried unanimously, and the Secretaries were instructed to issue a circular.

24 PROCEEDINGS AT THE ANNUAL MEETING.
A meeting of the Council followed. It was decided to print all the papers which had been read in the volume of Transactions. This concluded the business proper of the 1902 Meeting.
The President and a large party then went to Westward Ho ! to enjoy the breezes of Northam and the Burrows. At the Kingsley College Gymnasium Mr. and Mrs. Alexander G. Duncan were kind enough to provide tea — very welcome and greatly appreciated — for a thirsty throng.
In the evening the Mayor and Mayoress of Bideford (Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Tattersill) held a reception at the Music Hall, in Bridgeland Street, which was attended by a large number of guests. A very enjoyable musical pro- gramme was arranged, and a very pleasant evening spent.
The Friday's excursion had been looked forward to by many. A large party started at ten o'clock, and drove to Clovelly. The quaint village was visited, and then the church. Mr. and Mrs. Hamlyn had most kindly invited the Members of the Association and their friends to lunch at Clovelly Court, and a large party sat down in the long lower corridor of the mansion, and partook of the hospitality so thoughtfully proffered.
After lunch and a walk round through some of the grounds and gardens, the party assembled on the terrace, when the President, the Eev. W. Harpley, tendered the thanks of the Members to Mr. and Mrs. Hamlyn for their hospitality and welcome. Mr. Hamlyn acknowledged these thanks, and expressed his pleasure and that of Mrs. Hamlyn at seeing so many of the Members of the Association at the Court. The drive was then continued to Hartland Abbey, which the owner, Sir W. Lewis S. Stucley, who was absent from home, had given directions should be thrown open to our Members, and under the guidance of Mr. E. Pearse Chope the fine rooms of the house were visited, and the few remains of the ancient buildings pointed out. Leaving the Abbey, the party proceeded to the church of Stoke Nectan, the parish church of Hartland, where it found the Eev. T. H. Chope, the vicar, waiting its arrival. Mr. Chope gave a full and interesting account of the church. A long time was spent in the examination of the architecture of the building and its monuments and fine screen. At length a return was made to the carriages, and an unexpected halt was made at Hartland, the Local Com- mittee having very kindly arranged for a tea in the school- room. The drive back to Bideford was a pleasant one.

PROCEEDINGS AT THE ANNUAL MEETING. 25
The meeting was from beginning to end a pleasant and successful one. The weather was favourable during the whole of the time ; what rain there was, fell during the night. The papers were good, and the discussions in- teresting, and it is hoped the prestige of the Society has been well sustained.
In connection with this meeting two matters were fre- quently topics of conversation. One was that referred to by the Mayor at the reception at the Guildhall and again at the dinner — there is not in Bideford any memorial of Charles Kingsley. This ought not to be. There seems to be a good place for a bust, opposite that of Pine-Coffin at the east end of the bridge. The second matter was the paucity of local papers. Those of Prebendary Granville, Mr. Alexander Duncan, and Miss Wickham were admirable, but why were there not more? The ancient history of the bridge would make a good paper, and supply a want. The municipal history has to be written. There are many old houses to be redescribed and their associations dwelt upon, and the ecclesiastical history has been scarcely touched. One of the objects of the Association is to encourage inquiry into the history of the towns visited, and preference will always be given to papers of this kind, to the exclusion, if necessary, of others of more general interest.

REPORT OP THE COUNCIL.
Presented to the General Meeting at Bideford, July 29thf 1902.
In accordance with the instructions of the Members at the concluding meeting, held on the 1st August, 1901, an account of the proceedings at the Exeter Meeting of that year appeared in the volume of Transactions published in November last. The Report of the Council to be presented at this meeting will be, therefore, necessarily brief.
The Winter Meeting of the Council was held on the 29th February last. The usual routine business was transacted, and the invitation of the Urban District Council of Sidmouth to hold the Annual Meeting of 1903 in that town was accepted, subject to the approval of the Members at this Meeting.
The Council regrets to report a serious loss to the Society in connection with the disastrous fire at its printers' (Messrs. Brendon and Son), in May last, when the whole of the stock of the Transactions and Extra Parts was destroyed. In 1891 the amount of the insurance was increased to £400. There was some little difficulty in adjusting the claim, but eventually the assessors for the Insurance Companies agreed to pay the amount, which, less certain premiums not debited and the assessors' commission, has been received by the Treasurer. Instead, therefore, of the stock of Transactions — the esti- mated value of which in 1901 was set down at £638, but which, of course, produced no revenue — we have now about £350 cash, which when invested will add to the annual income of the Association.
The Council has published the President's Address, together with Obituary Notices of Members deceased during the pre- ceding year, the Reports and Papers read at Exeter, the Treasurer's Report, and Standing Orders and Bye-Laws, and issued in February last an Index to vol. xxxiii. (vol. iii. second series) of the Transactions, and a Table of Errata.
Copies of the volume of Transactions and of the Index have been sent to the Members and to the following Societies: The Royal Society, the Linnsean Society, the

David Shier, m.d., was born in Aberdeen, July 29th, 1815. His parents removed to Banff while he was a child, and he was educated at the Banff Academy, and afterwards at the University of Aberdeen, where he took his degree of M.D. 1841. After practising for some years in Banff he went to British Guiana, where an elder brother was Agricultural Chemist to the Colony. He was appointed the first Inspector of Estates Hospitals in 1859, and retired in 1873, coming to reside in Exmouth in 1876, where he died, 16th June, 1901, and was buried at Littleham on the 20th June.

Gloucestershire; and, lastly, at St. John's, Torquay. In 1863 he seceded from the Church of England, and was re- ceived into the Eoman Catholic Church by Father Newman. He went to Eome to study at the English College there, and received Eoman orders in December, 1866. He was sent as missioner to St. Marychurch, where he remained for several years. In 1878 he was made Canon of Plymouth, and in 1888 he removed to that town as Vicar-General to Bishop Vaughan. In 1893 Dr. Brownlow became Provost, and was appointed one of the domestic chaplains to the Pope ; and on the death of Bishop Clifford he was appointed Bishop of Clifton, to which see he was consecrated in 1894 at the Pro-Cathedral In October, 1901, the Bishop was in London, and there he caught a severe cold. Returning to his residence, Bishop's House, Park Place, Clifton, he de- veloped bronchitis and pneumonia. Serious symptoms showed themselves, and he died on Saturday, 9th Novem- ber. He was buried in the Cemetery of Holy Souls, Arnos Vale, Clifton, on the following Tuesday, a large number of mourners and a vast concourse of people following the body to the grave. Dr. Brownlow was elected a member in 1882, and before he became Bishop he was a constant attendant at our meetings, and the author of papers of value, and his removal from the county was much felt by the officers and his fellow-members. He was the author of several works — a History of the Early Church, Christian Antiquities, Slavery and Serfdom in Europe — and, in conjunction with Dr. North- cote, a volume on the Catacombs, Roma Sotteranea.
John Ashley, j.p., of Honiton, died in December, 1901. He had carried on a successful business in the town for upwards of sixty years, in partnership with his brother Edward, who survived him only three months. He was an old member, having been elected so long ago as 1868, and assisted in warmly welcoming the Association on both its visits to Honiton, in 1868 and 1898.

early life Mr. Varwell was the captain of a collier, and his business prospering he became the owner of several mer- chant vessels, and the founder of the business of a coal merchant, which under his management flourished, and is now carried on by his sons. He was a keen man of business, and active as a member of the City Council, and in connection with many philanthropic agencies in Exeter. He died on the 17th January, 1902, at the age of eighty-two years.

William Frederick Collier, of Plymouth, and of Wood- town, Horrabridge, was for long an active member, having been elected in 1866. He was a son of John Collier, merchant, of Plymouth, for some time member of Parliament for the town. He was born 14th March, 1824, and his life was a busy, active one, not only in connection with his own business — he being a member of the old firm of Collier and Co., corn and wine and spirit merchants — but in many public and philanthropic activities in the town and neigh- bourhood. He was associated with the Plymouth Chamber of Commerce, Cattewater Harbour Commissioners, Sutton Harbour Improvement Company, Plymouth College, the Plymouth High Schools for Boys and for Girls, the Ply- mouth Branch of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, and the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and was chairman of the Parish Council and School Board of Sampford Spiney, in which parish his country residence, Wood town, is situated. He was fond of sport, and for some years was a prominent member of the Dartmoor Hunt. He was an old member of the Plymouth Institution, and frequently lectured. Several papers from his pen will be found in our Transactions, relating princi- pally to Dartmoor. The Dartmoor Preservation Association owed much to his energy. Besides the papers we have referred to, he was a frequent contributor to the Saturday Review; and he published two little books, the lives of William Robert Hicks, of Bodmin, and Henry Terrell. Some of his contributions to periodicals were collected in two volumes — A New Book of Sports, and Country Matters in Short. For some years before his death he had been in ill health, and frequently suffered severe pain, borne with patience and fortitude. He died at Woodtown on 9th February, 1902, aged seventy -eight, and was buried at Sampford Spiney on the 13th February.

Daniel Robert Scratton, d.l., j.p., came into this county from Essex about the year 1869, having purchased the manor of Ogwell, the ancient possession of the Eeynell family. He made the place famous in the agricultural world, devoting to the farm he established there such personal care as if he had to make his living out of the land. He recognized to the full the duties and claims attaching to the possession of property. He built schools, founded a cottage hospital, gave at considerable cost a water-supply to Ogwell, lighted his parish church with acetylene gas, and also provided it with an organ, and when someone was wanted to blow it he undertook the work, saying, as he could not sing, he wanted to do something. He was a busy, active man, fond of work for its own sake. He had tried every kind of sport, he used to say, but had found nothing so satisfying as work. He was Chairman of the Newton Abbot Board of Guardians for some time, Secretary of the Hospital at Newton Abbot, Honorary Clerk to the School Boards of Denbury and Ogwell, and Clerk to the Parish Councils of the same places. He was elected a member of our Association in 1884, but never took part in any of the proceedings. He died on the 10th February, 1902, at the age of eighty-five years.

Sir Andrew Clarke, r.e., g.c.m.g., c.b., etc., was born 27th July, 1824, and was the son of Colonel Andrew Clarke, of Belmont, Donegal, Governor of West Australia. He was educated at the King s School, Canterbury ; Portora, Ennis- killen ; and the Military Academy, Woolwich ; and entered the Royal Engineers 1844, and commenced a distinguished career. Clarke served in the New Zealand Campaigns (medal), 1847-8 ; M.L.C., Tasmania, 1851 ; Surveyor-General of Victoria, 1853 ; M.P. for Melbourne ; and was appointed Minister of Lands, resigning in 1857. He was employed on the special mission to the West Coast of Africa, in- cluding Ashanti troubles, 1863-4, and was mentioned in the despatches. He was Director of Works of the Navy, 1864-73, and designed and carried out the very important extensions of the Naval Arsenals at Chatham, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Cork, Malta, Bermuda, and other places ; and was afterwards Governor and Commander-in-

Chief of the Straits Settlements, bringing the Malay Native States under the protection of Great Britain, and receiving a medal Afterwards he was sent on the Mission to Siam, and was Minister of Public Works in India from 1875-80. From 1881 to 1886 he was Inspector -General of Fortifications, and projected and executed the defences of coaling stations. He was promoted Major-General in 1885, and Lieutenant-General in 1886. He waB at the time of his death Agent-General for Victoria. He was the author of various works on engineering and sport. Death closed a long, busy, and useful life 29th March, 1902. He was a member of the Association for a short time only, having been elected in 1901.
The Eev. Kichard Bobbins Wolfe, m.a., Prebendary of Exeter, who was elected a member in 1878, was the second son of Mr. John Wolfe, of Fitzwilliam Street, Dublin, and Old Connaught, Bray, and afterwards of Teutewer, Queen's County. He was born 10th October, 1819; was educated privately until his matriculation at Trinity College, Dublin. He took his B.A. degree in 1842, and was ordained deacon and priest in 1843 by the first Bishop of Ripon, Dr. Longley, afterwards Archbishop of Canterbury; and licensed to the curacy of St. Paul's, Leeds. In 1845 he became Curate of Holy Trinity, and in 1846 Vicar of St Matthew's, both in Leeds. In 1848 he was offered by the trustees of the patronage the living of St. Mary Magdalene, Upton, and he spent the rest of his clerical life as rector of this parish. He was made Prebendary of Exeter in 1875 by Dr. Temple, the then Bishop. He was not only active in the duties of his calling, but he took an intelligent interest in local affairs, and watched the rapidly growing town of Torquay, and helped its onward course. He was President of the Torbay Hospital, a member of the Devon County Council, a Director of the Torquay Gas Company, and for many years Chairman of the Newton Abbot Board of Guardians. He resigned the benefice in 1883, but continued his resi- dence at Torquay, where and at Leighon, Manaton, his moor- land residence, he passed the remainder of his life. In 1897 Prebendary Wolfe had a serious illness, and one of his legs was amputated ; and it was feared that he would never have rallied, but his vigorous constitution carried him through, and he lived for five years longer. He died on Good Friday,

William Eoopb Ilbert, d.l., j.p., became a member of the Association in 1877, and always took much interest in its objects. On the two occasions when the Society visited King8bridge he invited the members to his fine house of Bowringsleigh, and gave them a warm welcome. On the last visit, in 1897, a considerable part of an afternoon was spent there in examining the house and its contents, and in wandering through the grounds. He was a County Magis- trate, and for many years a member of the Board of Guardians and Rural Sanitary Authority, and Chairman of the Assessment Committee. To his exertions and generosity in a great measure Kingsbridge owes its railway. He had been in feeble health for many months before his death, which came somewhat suddenly on the 30th April, 1902. Mr. Ilbert was in his seventieth year.

Lady Bowring. On the eve of the meeting at Bideford came the news of the death of Deborah Lady Bowring. Her removal from among us is greatly regretted. From the time of her marriage, when she came into the county to reside, she took much interest in the proceedings of the Association, of which she became a member on her husband's death.1 She frequently attended the Annual Meetings, and took part in the discussions, and at the dinner always returned thanks in well-chosen words for the toast of "The Ladies." She spoke well and with sincerity, and in discussion and repartee she held her own. She lived in Exeter, and took an active part in all public affairs affecting the city and the citizens, and was always to be relied upon for help in philanthropic endeavours. The last meeting Lady Bowring attended was at Honiton. Increasing age afterwards pre- vented her from leaving home to attend subsequent meet- ings, but a kind message or letter from her always arrived regretting her absence. She died at 7, Baring Crescent, Exeter, on the 28th July, 1902, at the age of eighty-five, and was buried on the Wednesday following.

Key. Gbokge Ley Woollcombe, born at Hemerdon, Plymp- ton, was the eldest son of Vice-Admiral George Wooll- combe and Mary Elizabeth, daughter of George Ley, of Cockington. Taking his degrees at Baliol College, Oxford, he was ordained deacon in 1853, and priest in 1854. His first curacy was at Eevelstoke, 1853-7. He was then in charge at Brixton for a few months, and then went to Kenwyn (1857-64) and to St. Mary's, Truro (1864), as curate. He was then appointed Bector of Senuen, where he remained for seven years, and left for St. Mewan, which litisg he held until his retirement from active duty in 1889, when he took up his residence at the family seat of Hemerdon. In all his relations of life he was greatly respected, and beloved by all who knew him. He was elected a member in 1887, and attended the meetings occasionally; he was much interested in the welfare of the Association, and received the annual volume with great pleasure. He died at Hemerdon 28th July, 1902, aged seventy-three, and was buried in the graveyard of All Saints, Sparkwell, Plympton.

THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS.
Ladies and Gentlemen, — In recent years my distin- guished predecessors in the high and honourable office to which you have called me have chosen for their presidential addresses subjects in which they were severally experts, I cannot claim to be an expert in any branch of Science, Literature, or Art ; that wherein I approach most nearly to such a position is, perhaps, mathematical science. From my youth up mathematics, both pure and applied, have always had great attraction for me ; and even now, in my old age, whenever I feel fagged and weary with ordinary reading and thinking, I can find no greater relaxation than to sit down and work out an involved definite integral, or to solve a stiff problem in rigid dynamics : the charm of success is a complete restorative. I fear, however, that if I were to dilate this evening on this subject my remarks would have either a very soporific effect or rapidly put to flight my audience. I must content myself with a humbler r&le. I propose, therefore, to take a survey of the work done by our Association during the forty years of its existence, to comment briefly upon it, and to offer some suggestions which may perhaps tend to stimulate the efforts of younger members especially to tread worthily in the footsteps of those who have gone before, and so secure a continuation of the good work that has been done. My long official connection with the Association will, I venture to hope, secure me against the charge of making too daring an attempt.
On a careful perusal of the volumes of Transactions I find that the papers read to the Association may be conveniently distributed under the following classes: —
I. Reports of Committees.
II. History, Biography, and Topography.
III. Geology, Palaeontology, and Mineralogy.
IV. Archaeology.

REV. W. HARPLEY'S PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS. 41
V. Natural History — Zoology, Botany, Ornithology.
VI. Natural Philosophy — Light, Sound, Heat, Elec- tricity, etc.
VII. Literature.
VIII. Art.
IX. Economics and Statistics,
X. Miscellaneous.
Class I. contains 148 reports; Class II., 278 papers; Class III., 179 ; Class IV., 170 ; Class V., 85 ; Class VI., 62 ; Class VIL, 34 ; Class VIIL, 21 ; Class IX, 20 ; Class X., 63 : giving us a grand total of 912 reports and papers — a re- markable testimony to the zeal, energy, and industry of the authors. It is very possible that my classification would not meet with universal acceptance — indeed, I am myself in considerable doubt as to whether several papers which I have classed " Historical " ought not to be entered under Class IV. (Archaeology) ; but this is not an important point.
I would comment, then, on these several classes in the order given.
REPORTS.
Under this head not many words are needed. It will, I think, be generally agreed that the Committees have done excellent work and fully justified their appointment. They have collected a large number of well-authenticated facts, verified by the respective secretaries, which have thus been preserved and, as it were, fossilised for future generations, but which, save for the labours of the Committees, would probably in a few years have been forgotten and lost. In- deed, they form a mine of wealth for future workers to draw upon, and which, if rightly used, will serve to correct crude theories and ill-considered statements. If the Association had done nothing more than produce these reports, it would have been accredited with having done good work, and would have deserved the warm thanks of all who love their county. w
HISTORY, ETC.
Turn we now to the papers contributed by individual members. We notice that the Historical and Biographical constitute the most abundant class. This is what one would expect when one considers the richness of the soil in which the workers have to toil. Few counties have produced more eminent and distinguished men, especially in the Eliza- bethan period, in the various paths of life, whether of war

or peace, than our beloved county of Devon. It follows, naturally, that we love to picture the deeds of prowess, and hunt up all that relates to our illustrious predecessors. Many of the historical papers contain facts derived from overlooked or forgotten manuscripts, which are not to be found in our standard histories, but which, nevertheless, are of inestimable value.
The biographical sketches are admirable. Whilst en- deavouring to avoid anything like a comparison of the merits of individual authors, I cannot refrain from drawing your attention to the exquisite sketches of Devonshire worthies by the late Rev. Treasurer Hawker. They form an excellent model to all future workers in this department. Treasurer Hawker's notices of Risdon, Winthrop Mackworth Praed, J. Ford, and Wolcot are literary gems ; they are per- fect and complete. To take away aught from them, or to add a word to them, would simply spoil them. You will, I am sure, pardon my eulogising the work of one who was a beloved friend of mine, and whose memory is very dear to me. But let it not be supposed that I undervalue the efforts of many other contributors of papers in this class, or consider them undeserving of commendation. It is pleasant to record that of late years the pages of our Transactions have been enriched in this direction by the facile and graceful pens of our lady members Mrs. Radford and Mrs. Rose Troup, as well as by many other esteemed and valued members.
GEOLOGY, ETC.
Passing on to the next class, Geology and its closely allied subjects, we observe that, as regards the number of papers read, the class is still near the top of the list, although it seems to be gradually falling in popularity. During the first twenty -five years of our existence as an Association it held a very marked pre-eminence, but of late years the number of papers presented has greatly diminished, some of the volumes not containing a single paper relating to this subject. This is much to be regretted. The subject in itself is sufficiently attractive and fascinating, and we have a long array of distinguished men to beckon us on to follow their example. The names of W. Pengelly, G. W. Ormerod, W. A. E. Ussher, Rev. W. Downes, Towns- hend M. Hall, A. R. A. Hunt, R. N. Worth, and many others stand out in bold relief. Most of these have gone from us for ever, and their places are as yet, alas! unfilled. True,

REV. W. HARPLBY'S PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS. 43
we have still with us two industrious workers in this field — namely, Mr. Alex. Somervail and Mr. R. Hansford Worth. Both deserve our gratitude and praise. In Mr. Worth we have a living proof that the words of the old Greek poet do not apply universally when he says —
Uavpoi yap roi ircu&s 6/iotot warpl arcAovrat
01 wkeoves kolklovs' iravpoi Sc T€ warpbs dpetovs :l
rendered thus by Pope —
" Few sons attain the praise Of their great sires, and most their sires disgrace."
I would that these two gentlemen could enlist some recruits to join their ranks! A county which has the honour of giving its name to a system of rocks not con- fined to it exclusively, but widely scattered throughout the world, should not lack exponents of the science of geology. Then, again, consider the interest which geological papers invariably awaken. No papers produce such animated dis- cussions as these. Geologists are very pugnacious. The hammer, which is essential to them in their researches among the rocks, seems to symbolise their temperaments. They use it metaphorically in the hall, and shower ponderous and mighty blows on their antagonists, which, however, happily are delivered without intention to wound, and so fall harmlessly. I could wish to see these contests more frequently. Again, many problems remain unsolved. In the rocks are hidden many secrets which are yet to be discovered. Mr. A. R Hunt, in an able paper read at Okehampton (1895), indicated forty problems for solution,2 and in the following year at Ashburton,8 when finally divesting himself of his armour as a combative geologist, bequeathed to his successors several other important items, and I have no doubt many more might be added.
One more reason why I plead for more attention to this subject is perhaps rather sentimental, but it has weight with me. It was on the occasion of a geological excursion that our great and lamented progenitor, Mr. Pengelly, first re- vealed to Mr. Spence Bate and myself, his companions on the occasion, the idea which his fertile brain had conceived of forming the Devonshire Association, Thus you will

perceive we owe our birth, in a great measure, to Geology. But I must not linger, but pass on to —
ARCHEOLOGY.
Here, too, my remarks will take a grumbling turn, but in the opposite direction. Whereas in the class just now touched upon I had to mourn decadence, in the class now under consideration I have to lament a too rapid and over- vigorous growth. During the last fifteen years the number of papers bearing on the subject of Archaeology has far exceeded that of the previous twenty-five years. This is difficult to account for, and I do not think it is a healthy symptom. It would seem that our authors are tending to get into one and the same groove. Now it is very far from my thoughts to attempt to lessen the importance of archae- ology or to diminish the zeal of its adherents. I hold that the study of archaeology is of the highest importance. The utilitarian spirit of a commercial age asks, What is the use of it ? Does it promote commerce or wealth ? Will it help our sons to make a living? To such questions, from the purely material point of view, there is, it may be admitted, no answer that will satisfy those who put them. But if there is anything in mental culture — if the history of long- forgotten men and times is worth exploring for the light which it throws upon the beginnings of polity, art, religion, and literature — then the claims of those who are laying bare the secrets of the past and widening, if not in some cases reconstructing, the bounds of history are worthy of attention. No one, surely, would deny the importance of the discoveries in Egypt and Babylonia which have, in one direction, restored to scholars the poems of Bacchylides and Aristotle's treatise on the constitution of Athens; and in another have thrown floods of light upon the books of the Old Testament, sometimes modifying, but ofttimes, as it now seems, confirming their substantial accuracy wherever they deal with historical facts as distinguished from that uncertain cloudland of prehistoric tradition which envelops the dawn alike of sacred and secular history.
Having in these few words, as I hope, safeguarded myself against the charge of thinking lightly of the science of archaeology, or of desiring to disparage its importance, I venture to repeat what I have said above, viz. that there is a tendency to give to it a preponderating claim to our attention over other branches of science of equal import-

ance to the well-being of our Association. I would not say to the students of archaeology, "Relax your efforts," but I would say to the devotees of other branches of science, "Strain your nerves, and do not suffer yourselves to be outrun, else the title of our Association will have to be altered." During my many years of office, and especially in recent years, I have received scores of letters addressed to me as Hon. Secretary of the Devonshire Archaeological Association, and I have no doubt my successors will soon be able to tell a similar tale.
NATURAL HISTORY — ZOOLOGY, ETC.
Turning to the next class in our list, I find that although it comprises a fair proportion of papers, yet it has not received so much attention during the last fifteen years as it received during the previous twenty-five years. In the later period twenty-two papers have been read, whereas in the earlier period sixty-three papers were forthcoming. For these we were indebted chiefly to the indefatigable industry of the late Mr. E., Parfitt, who year by year presented us with a valuable list of the fauna of Devon, in which were set forth the various genera and species and their habitats, brief but lucid descriptions of many specimens being added, the greater part of the specimens having been captured by himself or presented to him by friends. Mr. Parfitt, at our Annual Meetings, was ever wont to lament that he stood almost alone in promoting this branch of scientific research. I re-echo his lamentations. It will, I think, be admitted that the series of papers prepared by Mr. Parfitt greatly enriched our volumes of Transactions. Happily, we have now two skilful workers in other branches of Natural History — Miss Helen Saunders in Botany, and Mr. Elliot in Ornithology — both of whom are doing valuable service. I feel quite sure that I correctly interpret the thought that is passing through the minds of all of you in expressing the hope that they will long be spared to prosecute their re- searches in the departments of which they are respectively such able exponents.
NATURAL PHILOSOPHY.
Under this head sixty-two papers are enumerated, but of these only four are to be found in the volumes issued during the last fifteen years, as against fifty-eight in the previous twenty-five years. This great disparity is doubtless chiefly

to be attributed to the enactment of the wholesome rule that papers read to the Association shall relate strictly to Devonshire. It is difficult to write papers on such subjects as Heat, Electricity, Magnetism, Chemistry, etc., with the limitation above mentioned. Hence it is that the bulk of papers dealing with these subjects were contributed during the earliest years of our career, before the limitation was imposed. These papers are of inestimable value, and de- serve to be read and re-read. For instance, Professor Daubeny's paper on the Temperature of the Antient World (1867), and Mr. Jonathan Hearder's series of papers relating to Electricity and Magnetism, extending from 1863 to 1872, are all masterly productions. At the present day, when the applicability of electricity to purposes of daily life is en- gaging the attention of so many distinguished men in all parts of the world, Mr. Hearder's papers are of special interest to us Devonshire men and women. I should like to see renewed attention given to the subject. Surely our county, which produced a Sir W. Snow Harris and a Jonathan Hoarder, is capable of producing an Edison or a Marconi. I am convinced, in spite of the difficulty caused by the rule to which I have referred, that if any member were successful enough to discover any new fact, or a new application of an old fact, in any branch of Natural Philosophy, and wished to record his discovery in our Transactions, our esteemed editor would exercise his censor- ship most leniently.
literature.
There is little to be said under this head. The papers read are full of merit, and have been almost uniformly distributed. The late Rev. J. Ingle Dredge has been the principal contributor. His "Sheaves of Devon Biblio- graphy " form a useful and valuable series, marked as they are by Mr. Dredge's exceeding care and accuracy. It is much to be desired that some young and enthusiastic member should take up and continue Mr. Dredge's work.
ART.
I am sorry I cannot compliment the Association on the possession of many votaries of Art. During the five years last past we have had no paper bearing on the subject, and during the last decade only three papers. We have, more- over, a special Committee on Works of Art in Devon, but we have looked in vain for a report from the Committee for

many years — I am afraid to say how many. This is not quite as it should be. Art, or a love of Art, cannot be extinct among us; let us hope it is only dormant. The county that gave birth to Eeynolds and inspired Turner to put on canvas his marvellous delineations of light and shade should not become indifferent to so grand a subject as Art. It is a hopeful sign that so many Schools of Art are springing up around us in which the taste for drawing, sculpture, carving, and artistic work in metals is being cultivated and fostered with considerable success. I cannot help thinking that this movement, in a great measure, owes its origin to the persevering efforts of one of our members — the late Mr. J. Phillips.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Passing over for a moment the next division in our list, which I wish to take last, inasmuch as I purpose to dwell upon it somewhat more at length, let us consider briefly the class of papers which I have styled "Miscellaneous." The class comprises all papers that deal with such subjects as it would be difficult to place in any of the foregoing classes. It includes such papers as " Is it a Fact ? " " Devon- shire Gleanings from Notes and Queries" (two papers), " Notes on Slips connected with Devonshire " (eight papers), all by Mr. Pengelly, and similar papers by several other authors. They form a very interesting series, arousing more than a mere passing interest, and fully merit the place they occupy in the pages of our Transactions. I enumerate sixty- three such papers, of which eight only have been contributed during the last fifteen years, the rest — fifty-five papers — having all been read during the previous twenty-five years.
ECONOMIC SCIENCE AND STATISTICS.
Let us now turn to the class which, as regards number, ranks lowest in our list — Economic Science and Statistics. Twenty papers only have been read, and of these I find but three in the last fifteen years ! There is a manifest lack of interest in the subject, and one chief aim that I have in my address to you this evening is to try to arouse greater and more sustained interest. It cannot be alleged that the subject has little claim to our attention, for it must not be forgotten that the founders of our Association were intent upon establishing for the county a society which, as far as possible, should take as its model the British Associa-

tion. Now, the British Association regarded Economic Science and Statistics as of sufficient importance to entitle it to a special section (Section F). I am quite aware that some years ago an effort was made by certain members of that learned body to suppress the section on the ground that it did not represent a pure science, but the opposition was successfully resisted, at any rate temporarily, by the statisticians. Whether the section still survives I know not, as unfortunately several years ago I accidentally for- feited my right to receive the Annual Keport, and I have seen no Report since, but I hope Section F still exists.
While yet acting as your Hon. General Secretary the thought frequently entered my mind that it would be a wise step to appoint a special committee to consider economic questions and collect statistics relating to them ; but I could never summon courage enough to propose the step to your Council, fearing that probably I should be called upon to act as secretary to such a committee if appointed, and feeling that my declining energies and ever- increasing work incapacitated me from undertaking such a task. I still think, however, that the idea is worthy of consideration by the Council, and I commend it to their careful thought.
A subject for investigation, of pressing importance, is ready at hand for such a committee. I mean the serious question of the depopulation of our rural districts — its causes and its remedies. The matter has for some time exercised the minds of writers in the public journals and formed a topic for platform orators on which to expend their eloquence, and I have no doubt that most of us — at least those of us whose lot it is to live in a small rural parish — have pondered over the matter frequently and seriously. As an appendix to my address will be found a table showing the fluctuation in the population during the last forty years of about 240 parishes, including all, or very nearly all, those parishes in the county which are strictly agricultural, and which during the period under review have at any time contained less than 500 inhabitants. I have taken this limit as most befitting my purpose, inasmuch as in larger parishes there are frequently other industries which tend to keep up the population; but the smaller parishes contain almost exclusively farmers and their labourers, with perhaps a rough carpenter and a blacksmith for agricultural purposes. The official returns for Devon of last year's census have not yet been issued. I am informed they will be issued very

shortly, perhaps within a few days; but through the kind- ness and courtesy of the Registrar-General and the secretary at the Census Office, to whom I return my most grateful acknowledgment, I have been furnished with a preliminary proof in advance, subject, of course, to revision, so that the column in the table which gives the population for 1901 will be found, I trust, to be fairly accurate.
Well, what does the table reveal to us ? It shows us that in 1861 the total population of the 238 parishes quoted was 77,571, that in 1901 it had fallen to 59,814; so that in the last forty years there has been a loss of 17,757. The decline has been continuous, but not uniform. The largest diminu- tion occurred in the decade 1871-81, reaching almost 10 per cent. The next highest loss took place during the last decade, when it was about 7 per cent. ; in the first and third decades the fall was between 4 and 5 per cent. In two parishes there was no loss or gain ; in twenty-eight there was a trifling gain; the remaining 208 parishes sustained losses varying from 2 to 60 per cent.
What have been the causes in operation that have con- tributed to bring about this deplorable result? Many answers have been given to the question, of which the chief are the following : —
(a) The bad condition of the majority of labourers? cottages. In many districts these are hardly fit for human habitation, and are quite out of harmony with the spirit of the age. Low rooms, blackened ceilings, tottering walls, small and badly glazed windows, and insanitary surroundings charac- terise a vast number of them. Children, accustomed as they now are to bright and cheerful schoolrooms, grow up dissatisfied with their comfortless homes, and are eager to get away from them as soon as their school-days are ended.
(b) Lack of opportunity for recreation and amusement. The life of the agricultural labourer is to a great extent passed in solitude, much of his daily routine work having of necessity to be done without companionship. This becomes distasteful to him, and so he is drawn away from his home in the country to town, where, as he says, he will have a better chance of enjoying himself.
(c) The prospect of obtaining higher wages in tovms is a strong inducement to many to quit the country.
(d) The practice of taking over land. Many small holdings adjacent to large farms, each affording occupation to two or

three persons, have been absorbed from time to time by the larger farmers, and the smaller homestead has been allowed to fall into decay — either left untenanted or serving merely as a cottage for a labourer.
(e) The advance of education. A lad who can now read fairly fluently and has learnt to write a decent hand despises the spade and the hoe, will not come near the plough tail, and thinks he is quite qualified to earn his living with less arduous labour — less straining of his sinews and muscles — than farm work demands of him, and so he marches off* to town.
(/) Cheap travelling. In former times the labourer rarely roamed beyond the boundaries of the parish in which he was born. Now he can change his domicile quickly and at little cost, and he does so frequently.
(ff) Cheap postage. Letters were a rarity in country dis- tricts in days gone by. Not so now. A man or a lad migrates to town, and, if successful, soon communicates with his comrades left behind, paints his changed condition in glowing colours, advises his comrades to follow his example, points out — not always truthfully, it is to be feared — how easy it will be for them to find employment, and thus induces them to leave their homes.
(h) The Press. The ever-increasing circulation of cheap newspapers is answerable, to a large extent, for thinning the country districts. In every village the weekly local paper now finds a home. Its columns are eagerly read and dis- cussed; in them paragraphs are frequently found which excite the imagination of the reader and render him dissatisfied with his monotonous life.
The last four of these alleged causes are, I think, irre- mediable, and the consideration of them need not detain us. No one would venture to suggest that education should take a backward movement, or that a check should be given to cheap travelling, or cheap postage, or cheap newspapers. However operative these may be in fostering migration to towns, their influence for good in other directions is so beneficent that any bad effect they may possibly be sup- posed to produce is far outweighed by the manifest good they do.
The causes marked (a), (J), (c), and (d) are remediable; and if it be found that they really exist and are widely in operation, there is some hope of a remedy being devised.

REV. W. HARTLEY'S PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS. 61
During the last twelve months I have taken every oppor- tunity, in my rambles in country roads or in railway journeys, of entering into conversation with the labouring classes, and have put the question, "How is it that labourers are becoming so scarce?" I have noted nearly a hundred Answers, and more than half have been, "Because we can get no decent house to live in." Many have assigned cause (b) as the chief moving factor ; a smaller number have given (d) ; and very few have allowed that (c) is an active agent. Indeed, on several occasions when I have suggested that after all it is a question of more money with them, I have been met with the assertion that money does not influence them in the matter, and they have argued that, all things considered, they are better off with their fourteen or fifteen shillings a week and concomitant advantages than their brother townsman who is earning twenty or twenty-two shillings a week. It would be well to ascertain how far the same views prevail in other parts of our county — an inquiry which an Economic Science Committee might undertake to make.
Well, then, can a remedy be devised which will check the exodus from the country and bring back to us our ranished population? and if so, what? Before a satis- factory answer can be given much still remains to be ascertained. Such a problem cannot be solved by a stroke of the pen or a roll of the tongue, as some writers and speakers seem to think.
Assuming, however, that the four causes last alluded to are undoubtedly true, I venture to sketch an outline of a scheme which would, I think, effectually neutralise those causes, and so put an end to the continued stream of migration. I am a strong believer in co-operation, and my scheme is based on the trite but true proverb, " Union is strength." Simply stated it is this: that an experiment be made to farm the land by joint-stock companies. In these days of large capitalists, who often have difficulty in finding out how best to invest some of their superfluous wealth, surely men could be found willing to combine together and form a company for the purpose of farming a district or area made up of several individual farms adjacent to each other. Landowners, I imagine, would not hesitate to lease their land to such a company; indeed, they would gain by the change. Instead of having to collect their rents from several tenants they would receive it promptly from one tenant, the company. The land would soon be under higher

cultivation. The most modern and best machinery — now to be obtained by the largest and most substantial farmers only — would be available everywhere throughout the district, and could be transferred from farm to farm as required. The farmers— a class of men for whom I have the greatest possible respect, and naturally so, as I am one of them — would, I admit, under such an arrangement, lose their present status, but they need not be driven from their homes. They would be retained as managers for the com- pany at a definite salary, and many of them would doubtless invest their capital in and become shareholders of the com- pany, and some few would probably find a place on the board of directors. The labourers would benefit greatly by the change. If we may take the action of railway and large mercantile companies as at all indicative of what the action of a farming company would be, we may safely predict that good model dwellings would soon be provided for the labourers ; village reading-rooms and institutions in which they could find recreation and amusement and instruction would abound; and they would soon learn to value education more highly than they do at present, and perceive that the more intelligent they became, the better would be their chance of promotion to higher office. All desire to quit the beautiful country would vanish, and once more we should have amongst us a cheerful, happy, and contented peasantry.
In propounding such a scheme I am quite aware I am treading on dangerous ground and shall expose myself to severe criticism. The scheme may be called revolu- tionary, impracticable, Utopian. This I am quite ready to submit to; but I am very sanguine that if a trial were made in some area comprising ten to twelve thousand acres of fairly productive land it would prove successful.
Leaving this thorny question and returning to safer ground, permit me, in conclusion, to add a few words on Science generally. I use the word " Science " for a formed system of any branch of knowledge — for knowledge general- ised, systematised, and verified, comprehending the doctrine, reason, and theory of the thing, with or without any immediate application of it to any use or office of life — and, using it in this sense, I think we may say Science is making immense progress. We certainly know more than ever we did of the physical properties of things and their operations. Many things which were formerly known but vaguely and

REV. W. HARPLEY'S PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS. 53
loosely are now known more fully and completely. Much
of what was, at best, a guess or a supposition is now
founded on experimental knowledge. There have been both
a large accumulation of facts and a clear discerning of their
relation one to another. We have fathomed Nature more
closely, discovered more of her powers, and utilised more of
her forces. What problems in mathematics have been
solved, and how happily have their principles been applied
to the science of life — to mechanics, navigation, and
astronomy! What advance in medical science, especially
in hygiene, pathology, and surgery ! What advancement in
srieatific instruments ! What revolutions in our knowledge
of geology, mineralogy, and biology ! And how much have
the philosophical sciences, especially of politics and social
economy, become extended and methodised! Science has
mde, and is making, constant progress, as is abundantly
prowl by the greater reverence paid to it, and in the greater
activity of its votaries.
In the pursuit of scientific knowledge great caution is requisite. Preconceived theories must be laid aside, and the subject, whatever it is, must be approached with an earnest desire to arrive at truth. The student must accumulate his facta patiently and thoroughly verify them, and the super- structure he raises upon them will be firm and lasting; but if the substratum be composed of questionable facts, however sound and logical the subsequent reasoning may be, the final result will be vicious and untrustworthy.
In no pursuit in life is an aphorism, impressed upon me when I was a youth by a beloved and revered preceptor, more necessary to be borne in mind than in the pursuit of Science — "I love Plato, I love Socrates; but I love truth better than either."

TWENTIETH REPORT (THIRD SERIES) OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE CLIMATE OF DEVON.
Twentieth Repokt of the Committee — consisting of Mr. James Hamlyn, j.p. (Chairman), Mr. P. F. 8. Amery, j.p., Sir Alfred W. Croft, M.A., K.C.I.E., Mr. J. M. Wadmore, Mr. W. Ingham, A.M.I.C.E., and Mr. Alfred Chandler F.R.M.T.8oc. (Secretary), to collect and tabulate trustworthy and comparable observations on the climate of Devon.
Edited by Alfred Chandler, f.b.iikt.soc, and W. Ingham, a.m.i.g.e. (Bead at Bideford, July, 1002.)
The Annual Report of the Meteorological Observations taken during the year 1901 throughout the County of Devon is presented by your Committee, in which are given carefully prepared monthly tables, with a summary for the year, of Rainfall, Temperature, Humidity, Cloud, and Sun- shine.
At each Station the Observations are taken daily at 9 a.m. local time, and much care is exercised to make them com- parable, accurate, and trustworthy for future referenca At all the Stations only Kew certificated instruments are in use, and the readings therefrom have the instrumental errors applied for correction.
Your Committee are pleased to record the fact that Observations of Temperature and Rainfall are now being taken daily at Salcombe by Dr. Woodman Dowding ; but as a commencement was made last autumn, there are only three months' figures given in this Report.
Rainfall Reports are also now received from Kingsbridge and Totnes (Berry Pomeroy), and the Devon Rosery, Torquay.
The special thanks of your Committee are due to all the Observers, whose names are here given, for their voluntary work of daily reading the instruments and recording the Observations.
