KEPOET OF THE COUNCIL 



AT THE CLOSE OF THE 



TWENTY-FIFTH SESSION. 



Ik presenting the Report of the proceedings of the 

 Twenty-fifth Session of the Leeds Philosophical and Literary 

 Society, the retiring Council beg to refer to the Financial 

 Report, delivered to the Members prior to the close of the 

 last Session. 



Immediately after the election of the Council for the 

 past Session, very complete arrangements were made for the 

 institution of an active canvass of the Proprietary and 

 Ordinary Members of the Society, and of other parties 

 whose standing in the town and neighbourhood rendered 

 it probable that they might become contributors to the funds 

 of the Society, for the purpose of soliciting donations to the 

 funds, and obtaining an accession of new Members and 

 Subscribers. 



The List of Contributors appended to this Report will 

 show that considerable success has attended the exertions of 

 the Canvassers ; many parties from whom liberal contribu- 

 tions may be confidently expected have not yet been seen ;
