 the subjects being particulai'ly interesting. Four of these lectures were 

 given in the Y. M. C. A. Hall, and three in McGill University. We take 

 this opportunity of tendering to the Governors of McGill the deep 

 gratitude of the Society for the use of the lecture halls, and to its pro- 

 fessors for valuable lectures and assistance so cheerfully given at all 

 times.
