SIR HENRY ANGST.
[To TEE EDITOR OF TEl "SPECTATOR."' Sra,—The retirement of Sir Henry Angst, K.C.H.G., from the post of H.B.M. Consul-General in Switzerland, which ho has held for tho last twenty years, calls for a few words. As tho organizer and for eleven years the Director of the great Swiss National Museum at Zurich, his services to archaeology have earned wide recognition, and his knowledge has always been generously placed at the disposal of all visitors to his native town. But at the moment of his retirement it is upon his splendid loyalty to England and the cause of the Allies that one most naturally dwells. In the present war—as in the South African conflict—he has laboured with the utmost persistence and courage in upholding the good name of England, in combating the false reports spread to our discredit, and in supplying authoritative information to the Swiss Pates. His many friends in England will join in wishing him a happy close to a life spent in the service of Art. Truth, and Justice.—I am, Sir, &c., Z.
