The Devonshire Association’s Presidential Address was presented at its July 1889 Tavistock meeting. It focused on the ancient physical history (geology) of England’s south-western extremity, with special reference to the country around Dartmoor. Tavistock, he asserted, occupied a central position in a peninsular region that extended from Exmoor to Land's End. The President, Wilfred Hudleston Hudleston FRS (née Simpson) was a celebrated geologist, ornithologist and paleontologist. His biography with portrait is available in Wikipedia. The Presidential Address, from a copy of a rare journal can be downloaded from the Internet Archive. Google has sponsored the digitisation of books from several libraries.
