Excerpt from The New York Medical Journal, 1872, Vol. 15

Dr. Elliot was one of those to whose exertions this Society owes a great part of its ¿ourishing condition. It was his am bitiou and pride to gather large numbers of members, secure good papers, and worthy discussions, and to hold extra meet ings. We owe his memory thanks for what he has aecom plished in that. Line. It is true that his predecessors had facili tated his work, for there was no society in the city that had shown a better record for many years, when he commenced his useful career as our President in 1868. But it is also true that no public man in a public place was ever more diligent zealous, and at the same time gracious. To his other private and public virtues I need not allude; they have been recalled to your mind from this place before to-night. Whenever his name is mentioned, we shall remember a gentleman, a man of taste, a refined scholar, and an amiable colleague. I have to thank him, personally, for my finding the Medical Society of the County of New York, when I had the honor of being the first time elected to preside over your meetings, a year ago, large in numbers, regular in attendance, earnest in purpose, and progressive in spirit.
