APPENDIX.


NOTWITHSTANDING the care taken by the author, errors have crept into this work, and it is deemed advisable to correct them here, and also add any additional particulars really essential to make the biographies as complete as possible.

Introductory.—For "J. Holden" read "W. Holden," and for "S. Skipper" "S. J. Skipper."

Page 41.—John Mitchell.—For "Glasgow" read "Kincardine," Scotland; after the word "supporter" read "Trustee."

Page 75.—William Henry Maturin, C.B., D.A.C.G.—Instead of "Mr. Deputy-Commissioner Monk" it should be "Assistant-Commissary General Monk."

Page 110.—George Styles.—Instead of "he was born at Amersham," it should be "Little Messenden." He was the originator and one of the founders of the London Master Bakers' Pension Society, now an extensive Association. So greatly was he esteemed by that body that his health was drank at every anniversary dinner up to the time of his death, after an absence of thirty-seven years. He was also a hard-working member of the Anti-Corn Law League, and was thus brought in contact with Cobden, Bright, and other members of that organization.

Page 129.—Thomas Greaves Waterhouse, J.P.—The death of Mr. Waterhouse occurred at Sunnyfield, Hampstead, England, on October 8, 1885, in his 74th year. He left this colony for the home country in consequence of failing health in 1866, and before going was entertained at a public breakfast in Pirie-street Wesleyan Lecture Hall, when he was presented with an address expressive of appreciation of his munificent donations to religious and other institutions. The kindly acts of Mrs. Waterhouse to the poor and the sick were at the same time mentioned in high commendation. They both especially interested themselves in the Draper Memorial Church, and Mr. Waterhouse has, on many occasions^ since his departure for England, given largely to churches and benevolent societies all over the colony.
