Excerpt from The Uncertainties of Modern Physical Science: Being the Annual Address of the Victoria Institute, Or, Philosophical Society of Great Britain, Delivered at the House of the Society of Arts, on the 29th May, 1876 The earl or shaftesbury, X.C. As President of this Institute, I have now a very agreeable duty to perform, which is to present the testimonial before you to Captain F. Petrie, who has devoted more than five years of his time to the work of this Society (during which period it has risen from 200 to 694 members), and whose patience, good humour, zeal, tact, and assiduity have done so much to bring it up to its present position. I am sure those who belong to the Society will heartily endorse what I have said, and what is here inscribed.
