19th century reading...

I found the 27th report of the Canadian Female Compassionate Society at this site: http://eco.canadiana.ca/view/oocihm.40120/2?r=0&s=1

I am charmed by the language. 'The Ladies... have only a brief but satisfactory report to present to the subscribers, on this the close of the 30th year of its formation, a period during which its utility has been sufficiently tested by the continued support of the public to render any further observation on that subject superfluous.'
