ELABORATELY SCRIPTED DOCUMENT ADDRESSED: ‘To/ Andrew Russell Esqr./ The Surveyors' throughout the Dominion/ of Canada embrace this opportune time on your retirement from active service for presenting you/ with this Address expressing as it does in but a feeble manner/ the esteem in which you are held by the profession./ During your fifty-four years of public service in the Departments of the old Province of Canada and/ of the Dominion of Canada you have preserved throughout that high standard of public morality, integrity, and fault-/ less character/ SO WORTHY OF EMULATION./ In the Crown Lands Department as well as in the Department of the Interior you have left your ineffaceable/ mark, ever prompted by the sense of duty regardless of personal ends. [A] generation has seen you in harness, unassuming but/ treading the path of honor./ But our gratitiude centres especially upon your professional career. It was you who introduced into Canada the use/ of the transit theodolite upon the public surveys, displacing the less accurate and variable compass. It was you who pointed/ to the star for a sure guide, instead of to the fickle magnetic pole. Through your unceasing efforts, surveying has attained/ its present high standard, every aiming higher and now is an honourable profession./ Rightly may we/ STYLE YOU THE/ FATHER OF/ ASTRONOMIC SURVEYING/ IN CANADA, AND PROUD/ ARE WE OF/ so worthy a progenitor/ May the laurel wreath you have WON resting in its snowy bed/ brighten your remaining days in your quiet retreat/ AND/ will posterity record; HIS WORK IS WELL DONE./ Signed on behalf of the Surveyors by/ [signature]/ Sec. Treas./ [signature]/ President Association of Dom / Land Surveyors/ Ottawa, March 20th, 1884'./ IN SMALL PRINT, IN LOWER RIGHT OF DOCUMENT: ‘W. Bruce Hamilton, Ont.'
