Scadding’s health continued to deteriorate; after 1862 he was rarely able to preach or officiate because of an “obstruction in the organ of speech.” He resigned from the college in 1862 and from Holy Trinity in 1875, when he was appointed a canon of St James’ Cathedral.
Scadding was a decidedly quiet and temperate high churchman, however, remaining aloof from the various battles waged by the church’s high and low wings.
Scadding consulted many written records, but his book is based mainly on his recollections, supplemented by those of other early residents; informal “séances” with them coincided with the founding in 1869 of what became the York Pioneer and Historical Society, which Scadding served as president from 1880 to 1898.

 The real story of how Toronto got its name
The most common meaning for Toronto given in current references is "place of meetings", derived from the Huron toronton.
This origin was suggested by historian Henry Scadding in Toronto: Past and Present (1884), where he interpreted Récollet missionary Gabriel Sagard's 1632 definition -- il y en a beaucoup (there is much) -- to mean a gathering of tribes, or meeting place.
Historian William Kilbourn promoted that view in Toronto Remembered (1984), where he wrote, "So when anyone asks what Toronto means, I would suggest that the best reply is 'abundance'." Scadding had dismissed this theory in his Toronto of Old (1878).

I was hoping that this book would be more of a study of the early wildlife of what is now Ontario, but in actuality, Nothing Gold Can Stay largely consists of extracts from memoirs and letters from early residents and visitors.
Among them are: Anna Jameson, Henry Scadding, Samuel Strickland, Catharine Parr Trail, and Major W. Ross King.
Despite this format, one gets an excellent understanding of the attitude that the early settlers had towards wildlife, and how some wildlife was from very early on adversely affected by human settlement.

Though such societies struggled through the 1870s, they took firm hold and even multiplied beginning in the late 1880s.
