Appendix V
Archb Report III

3

In the discharge of the functions which have been seen
in the manner which has been seen, whatsoever merit
may have been displayed, has not it will be seen, in
so far as eloquence of is reward been altogether unaccompanied
by reward. In the following passage of Report III —
drawn up penned by the Reverend Secretary himself a passage which, unless the whole
Report publication is a forgery put upon himself and
the Society, has had the Reverend Secretary himself for its penman, the following is the tribute
of acknowledgement
which may be seen
paid by himself to
his own virtues.
Yes, by himself. For
though it is to the
some other persons, by
the name of "the General
"Committee" that the gratification
produced by
the contemplation of
these virtues is ascribed,
yet if any
General Committee
had ever existed, in
which a Recitation
to any such the effect
in question was moved
come to and entered
upon the Minutes, the
may is left the Read
reader will judge whether
the prudence would
have permitted the
modesty of the Reverend
Secretary and Reporter
to have suppressed
all the mention of it
all those tokens accomplishments
by
which alone a genuine
act of a Society
can be distinguished
from a spurious
one.

p. 28 "On the merits of their Secretary, the Rev. T. T. Walmsley,
"whose office is peculiarly laborious from having to
"conduct the whole correspondence of the Society, to
"attend upon all its committees, and to record all
"its proceedings, it may be thought unnecessary to enlarge
"since his office occasions him continual intercourse
"with all the Society's connections, and
"from the very outset of the great work in hand,
"it has been to the General Committee a source
"of encreasing gratification, that almost every letter
"submitted to their consideration, is introduced with
"an acknowledgement of his promptitude in replying
"to applications and of his zeal in affording facility
"to those disposed to cooperate with the Society,
"in the furtherance of its designs; whilst in very
"many instances he seems to have ingratiated himself
"into the esteem of his Correspondents, and
"to have promoted the extension of the system, by
"his conciliating and encouraging communications —"

Of the aptitude of these communications to conciliate
those persons whom it was wished and at the same time expected
to conciliate, as well as to encourage those principles
and practices which it was intended to encourage, no
doubts is meant to be suggested by these pages. Veracity
veracity, sincerity in regard to these same communications
these are the only qualities, in respect of which any suspicion of deficiency has
been f presented
itself.
