Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collections of the Nova Scotia Historical Society, Vol. 7: For the Years 1889-91 Thirteen years nearly have passed away since our society was instituted. The first meeting, with this object, was held on the 2ud January, 1878. After deliberation, it was decided that a society should be organized forthwith. In April of that year officers were chosen, and the society went into Operation under the presidency of the Hon. J. W. Ritchie, at that time judge in equity, who had taken a lively interest in the movement, and who continued his cordial support of it till laid aside from active duty by failure of health. The society was formally inaugurated in June, 1875, at a meeting held in the assembly room of this building, when the Rev. Dr. Hill presided in the absence of the president, who, owing to illness, was unable to attend. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
