We are tempted here to print a letter received from him in reply to one from us in congratulation upon his election as President of the Royal Academy of Arts:

"28 Albert Gate, S.W.,
"November 16th, 1896.

"Dear Dalziel,—It was a very great pleasure to me to receive your letter recalling the delightful times when I was working for you, and the kind reception you always gave me and my work. There is no part of my life or of the practice of my part to which I look back with greater pleasure. Many and cordial thanks for your friendly congratulations and good wishes. I can hardly keep pace with my correspondence just now, or these should have been sent earlier, for one of the first to welcome me in my new and honourable post was your letter.
