The Section has not employed any paid agent, deeming it more 

 desirable to make themselves acquainted with the working out of 

 some of the subjects, especially as the funds are inadequate to the 

 purpose, the subscription being only 5s. per annum, those Members 

 who think proper subscribing a larger sum. 



As the future success of the Section depends much upon the 

 active exertions of its members, they are earnestly requested to take 

 an early opportunity of selecting such subjects as are most interesting 

 to them for investigation ; thus the statistics of this important 

 borough may be added to those of other towns where this science is 

 exciting considerable interest. 



On behalf of the Section, 

 April 20th, 1839- S. HARE, Chaieman.
