TO OUR READERS. 



The Editor begs to acknowledge, with grateful thanks, the cordial 

 response with which the Appeal made in this Journal for November 

 last has been met. The amount received, amounting to £124 16s., 

 is sufficient to cover last year's deficit, which proved greater than 

 was anticipated, and leaves a small balance towards the cost of this 

 year's issue. The expressions of interest and appreciation which 

 accompanied the financial help have been equally gratifying.
