IN Florence (writes an Italian contributor) a movement has been started to commemorate this distinguished surgeon whose later years were spent in promoting the welfare of the city. The animating spirit of many charities, medical and other, Sir John Ker Innes was also deeply and actively interested in the Anglo-Catholic Church of the Holy Trinity in the Via Lamarmora, the reconstruction of which owes much to him as chairman of the committee appointed ad hoc. It has been decided, therefore, that the contemplated memorial of him should take the form of a new inner porch to the church, with a suitable inscription, to recall the services, as numerous as they were valuable, conferred by him on the Englishspeaking community, resident and migratory, of the Tuscan capital. A subscription list towards the carrying out of this object has accordingly been opened and all who may be disposed to contribute are requested to communicate either with the Messrs. Haskard, Bankers, Florence, or with chaplain, the Rev. A. A. Knollys, 70Bill, Via Cavour.
