modate the audience. The attendance was even more 

 than anticipated, as appears by the receipt of £103 ISs. 

 for tickets of admission to the readings, sold to non- 

 subscribers 5 but the total expenditure, including £105 

 paid to Mr. Kemble, amounted to £129 17s. 2d., 

 leaving a deficiency of £25 19s. 2d. which was met 

 by the guarantee fund. The Society thus received a 

 very intellectual treat without encroaching upon the 

 ordinary funds of the Society. 



The Lectures delivered by Dr. Wolff were equally 

 successful, very great interest having been manifested 

 to hear from so celebrated a man, some account of his 

 extraordinary mission to Bokhara. In this instance 

 the receipts somewhat exceeded the expenditure. 



The Lectures delivered by Mr. Addams were 

 highly interesting, and most admirably illustrated. 

 The attendance was not, however, so numerous as on 

 the former Courses. 



The Council have great pleasure in announcing, 

 that the additions to the Sub-curator's residence, 

 alluded to in last Report, have now been completed. 

 The expense of these has somewhat exceeded the 

 estimate ; but when the alterations were commenced, 

 the arrangement of the original building required a 

 slight deviation from the plan ; and it was found 

 advisable to add three rooms instead of two, as before 

 contemplated, as this could be effected by a small 

 additional outlay.
