Prepared by Michael Steer

The Devonshire Association’s Presidential Address was presented at its July 1884 Newton Abbot meeting. The author Thomas Roscoe Rede Stebbing was a celebrated zoologist, who described himself as "a serf to natural history, principally employed about Crustacea". Although an ordained Anglican priest he promoted Darwinism in several popular works and as a result was banned from preaching. His biography, including a portrait and a cartoon is available here.  His Presidential Address, from a copy of a rare and much sought-after journal can be downloaded from the Internet Archive.
