APPENDIX G XCIX 
exchange list is constantly increasing, and this not by any solicitatioa 
on our part. 
The papers read were: “Sir Isaac Brock,’ by the President; 
“ Reminiscences of Jno. M. Clement,” by Rev. J. C. Garrett, and at 
a public meeting in the court room to a large audience, Col. Cruikshank 
read a valuable paper on “ The First Ten Years of the Settlement of 
Niagara, 1780-1790,” all of which will be published. As many of our 
meetings were occupied with business relating to our new building 
there were not so many papers read as usual, but altogether, eleven 
different meetings were held. We feel profoundly thankful for the 
measure of success granted to our endeavours and hope for greater 
-results in the future.

VI.—From The Ottawa Literary and Scientific Society, through 
Dr. Tuos. B. FLINT. 
The President of the Ottawa Literary and Scientific Society having 
been chosen this year as its representative to the Royal Society of Can- 
ada, begs to report :— 
For over fifty years the society has, with a fair degree of success, 
endeavoured to represent in Ottawa the combined interests of literature 
and science, and its members believe they are justified in saying that 
its influence has, during that period, been in a high degree beneficial to 
the community. 
By the distribution of its volumes of transactions it has placed 
itself on the exchange lists of the leading scientific institutes of the 
world. 
The finances of the society are in a satisfactory condition, the trea- 
surer’s balance sheet showing that at the close of the year the society 
had $333.52 on hand after providing for an expenditure of $854.23 
during the year. 
Thanks are due the Ontario Government for a yearly grant of $400. 
a contribution which assists most materially in carrying on the work of 
the society. 
The issue of books and magazines during the year was 3,306.
