" United EMriRE," 



During the year 1909, it having heeU 3§c'J<3ed that a review, or magazine, vrould be 

 one of the n ost effective means for widening the sphere of inf uence of the Institute 

 and increasing its popularity and usefulness, a fiew monthly joiirual, entitled " United 

 Empire," was issued on January 1, 1910, which superseded toth the annual volume 

 of " Proreedings " and the " Journal." This review is designed to cover as far as 

 possible the whole field of Imperial activities, and cannot fail to prove of advantage 

 to the trader, manufacturer, and farmer, as well as to officials, politicians and others 

 in all parts of the Empire. The yearly volume averages about one thousand pQ.ges, 

 and contains numerous maps, illustrations and diagrams. Its contents comprise the 

 f'apers read at the meetings of the Institute, articles contributed by recognised authori- 

 ties on Imperial questions, editorial notes, &c. Special sections are devoted to reviews 

 and notices of books, pamphlets, &c., relating to all parts of the Overseas Empire ; to 

 information regarding Empire trade and industry ; and to " Round the Empire 

 Notes." The journal, which is not only sent to every Fellow and Associate of the 

 Institute, but to Societies, Institutions and Clubs wherever British Committees exist, 

 is edited jointly by Sir Harry Wilson, K.C.M.G., and Mrs. Archibald Colquhoun. 



Vm.— MEETINGS. 



The ordinary general meetings of the Institute at which Papers are read or addresses 

 delivered are held on the second Tuesdays during the months of November to June at 

 8.30 P.M. Afternoon meetings for the same purpose are also held during the above- 

 mentioned months at 4 p.m. The Papers are often illustrated by lantern slides, and 

 the subjects are so selected as to embrace aU parts of the Overseas Empire. A discus- 

 sion takes place upon all occasions. The evening meetings are preceded by a dkmer, 

 which takes place at 7 o'clock, and is attended by Fellows and their friends, both 

 ladies and gentlemen, and so assists in promoting acquaintanceship amongst them.
