ABSTRACT OF THE LAWS 

 OF THE SOCIETY, 



RELATING TO THE PRIVILEGES AND PAYMENTS OF MEMBERS. 



The Property of the Society is vested in the Subscribing Members 

 collectively. Every Subscribing Member has a right to attend and 

 vote at the Meetings of the Society, and is eligible to all its offices. 

 He has access to the Museum and Library, and the privilege of 

 taking out or sending for Books, and of introducing Visitors. In the 

 new Institution, he will also have access to the Botanic Garden ; and 

 (by a Law passed at the Annual Meeting, 3rd of February, 1829,) 

 the privilege of frequenting the Gardens is extended to the adult 

 members of his family residing under his roof. 



A new Member may be balloted for at any one of the General 

 Meetings of the Society, which are held on the first Tuesdays of 

 January, February, March, April, July, October, November, and 

 December. His recommendation, signed by three Subscribing 

 Members, must be hung up in the Library, a week previous to the 

 ballot. 



Each Member, on his admission, pays to the Treasurer Five 

 Pounds ; and on every first day of January following, an Annual 

 Subscription of Two Pounds, if resident within the County ; 

 or if permanently residing out of the County, an Annual Subscription 

 of One Pound. A Member may compound at any time for his 

 Annual Subscriptions, by a payment of Twenty Pounds. 



Honorary Members have the same privileges as Subscribing 

 Members, except the power of voting and eligibility to offices. 

 Those assigned to Contributors to the Building Fund, not being 

 Members of the Society, will be found at page 32.
