The Library has received the Reports of several 

 Provincial Institutions, and a few Donations of Books. 

 The Council feel pleasure in acknowledging the receipt 

 of the former, as such contributions shew most satis-

 locality, yet co-operating for the accomplishment of 

 the grand object of their foundation — the elucidation

 and the Gratification and Improvement of all classes 

 of the community. In the promotion of which, it is 

 earnestly hoped that the Inhabitants of the populous 

 and wealthy Borough of Leeds, will not allow this 

 Society to be second to any in the kingdom.
