 accompanying Address is the short and, I fear, inadequate response to the Memorial presented to me on March the 2nd, 1889, at the First Avenue Hotel during the annual dinner of the Members of the Association of Sanitary Inspectors of Great Britain, over which my old sanitary colleague and ally in sanitation, Dr. Benjamin Ward Richardson, presided. The Address, prepared merely for a passing event, which, however, will never be erased from my memory, might have passed also with the occasion, but for the fact that those who were present, to all of whom my grateful recognitions are due, wish to hold it in the more permanent form in which it now appears. EDWIN CHADWICK.
