Alles followed with an equally appropriate and practical
speech in French, both gentlemen being received with prolonged
applause, and listened to by the numerous assembly with the most
interested attention.

Brief complimentary addresses were then delivered by Edgar MacCulloch,
Esq., F.S.A., Bailiff (Chief Magistrate) of Guernsey, and by F.J.
Jeremie, Esq., M.A., Jurat of the Royal Court, and the proceedings
terminated with a hearty vote of thanks to the Lieut.-Governor,
proposed by the Very Rev. Carey Brock, M.A., Dean of Guernsey.

A brass plate attached to Mr. Guille's portrait bears the following
inscription:--

Presented to THOMAS GUILLE, Esq.,
by his numerous friends, in recognition of the great
benefit he has conferred upon the inhabitants of his
native Island as one of the Founders of the
Guille-Alles Library.

Guernsey, 17 December, 1884.

A similar plate, bearing the name of Mr. Frederick Mansell Alles, is
attached to his portrait.

Note.--The Assembly Rooms were built by private subscription
in 1782, at a cost of about L2,500, and had therefore been
in existence exactly a century when they passed into the
hands of Messrs. Guille and Alles in 1882. During this long
period they were the fashionable _foyer_ of the Island's
festivity and gaiety, and formed the scene of many a
brilliant gathering.
