Objects and Constitution. 



The Egyal Colonial Institute is established to provide a place of 

 meeting for all gentlemen connected with the Colonies and British India, 

 and others taking an interest in Colonial and Indian affairs ; to establish 

 a Eeading-room and a Library, in which recent and authentic intelligence 

 upon Colonial and Indian subjects may be constantly available, and a 

 Museum for the collection and exhibition of Colonial and Indian productions ; 

 to facilitate interchange of experiences amongst persons representing all the 

 Dependencies of Great Britain ; to afford opportunities for the reading of 

 Papers, and for holding discussions upon Colonial and Indian subjects 

 generally ; and to undertake scientific, literary, and statistical investigations 

 in connection with the British Empire. But no Paper shall be read, nor any 

 discussion be permitted to take place, tending to give to the Institute a party 

 character.
