Although 'the resources of the Society may be regarded as 

 having suffered less than might have been expected from the 

 commercial difficulties in which so many have been entangled,

 which are not absolutely required for the maintenance of the 

 Society in a healthy state, until the prosperity of the country 

 shall have been furtlier restored. They will, however, be 

 anxious, at the earliest possible opportunity, to erect a sufficient 

 reading-room, and to provide better accommodation for the 

 valuable tender plants with which the hot-houses are crowded.
