The Council of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society beg 

 leave to lay before the Annual Meeting, an abstract of the 

 Society's receipts and expenditure for the year 1824, together 

 with a detailed account of the donations which have been 

 made, during that period, to the Library, and the various 

 departments of the Museum.

 the Society, has been employed in providing depositories 

 for the presents made to it in the course of the last twelve-

 the donations to the Geological collection have amounted to 

 nearly two thousand five hundred, independent of more 

 than two hundred specimens added to the Mineralogical 

 cases. The Council cannot but congratulate the Meeting 

 upon so satisfactory a proof of the great and increasing zeal 

 with which the Institution is supported, and the spirit of
