REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OX PUBLICATION. 



The Committee on Publication respectfully 



REPORT, 



That they have had printed two thousand five hundred copies of 

 the Proceedings of the National Medical Conventions, held in New 

 York, May, 1846, and in Philadelphia, May, 1847, with the several 

 reports presented to the latter body. 



Fifteen hundred copies of these have been distributed among the 

 members of the Convention of 1847, two hundred copies were sent 

 to the editors of the various Medical Journals in this country and 

 abroad, and to public libraries and societies, and eight hundred re- 

 main on hand. 



The Reports presented to the Convention of 1847 having been 

 printed at the expense of the Philadelphia delegation, and the type 

 kept standing, a portion of the expense of printing the proceedings 

 has been saved to the Association. 



The whole cost of printing and binding the Proceedings is 

 $413 40. 



The Committee beg leave to acknowledge the important services 

 rendered by Messrs. Lea and Blanchard to the Association. These 

 gentlemen have forwarded by mail to every member of the Conven- 

 tion of 1847 one copy of the Proceedings, and, through their agents, 

 as far as practicable, seven additional copies: — they have also distri- 

 buted copies to the different Medical Journals, &c, free of all ex- 

 pense to the Association. 



The Treasurer's report, herewith presented, has been examined by 

 the Committee, and found to correspond with the vouchers. 



All which is respectfully submitted.
