136 PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY. 



regretted the absence of Dr. Hebb that evening, to whom, as Secretary, 

 the Society was greatly indebted ; for eleven years past he had given 

 thern his services, had come to them not seldom at great personal incon- 

 venience, and he believed this was the first time Dr. Hebb had been 

 absent during the whole of that time. 



A vote of thanks to the Auditors and Scrutineers was then moved by 

 Mr. Marshall, seconded by Mr. Freshwater, and unanimously carried. 



Mr. Heron-Allen said he rose to propose that a very cordial vote of 

 thanks be given to their Librarian, Mr. Radley, for the skill, labour, and 

 enthusiasm which he had put into the work of preparing the new 

 catalogue. The Society had known for many years that they had a 

 great treasure packed away upon their crowded shelves, but were in the 

 position of a man who knew he had a mine of wealth under his estate, 

 but had no one to whom he could entrust the work of developing it. 

 Such a person had arisen in their midst in the person of Mr. Radley, 

 who had undertaken to make the catalogue, and had now completed the 

 task with conspicuous ability and consequent success. They probably 

 knew something of what heart-breaking work it was to compile a 

 catalogue of books, and the invisible labour involved in the process, and 

 be felt sure that all the Fellows of the Society would join in according 

 to Mr. Radley the vote of thanks which he had proposed. 



Mr. W. Wesche, having seconded the motion, it was put to the 

 Meeting by the President, and carried unanimously.
