REPORT OF THE HON. SECRETARY, 
1882. 
f} HE Fourth Anniversary of this Society was held in the 
}} School of Art (kindly lent by the Committee for the 
#4, occasion), on the 3oth January, 1882. The Hon. 
Frederick Strutt presided. The Report of the Society’s 
proceedings for the past year, including a satisfactory balance 
sheet, and showing a steady increase in the number of members, 
was read. 
The officers for the year commencing were elected. The 
meeting confirmed the provisional election by the Council of Mr. 
E. Greenhough, to fill the place of Mr. F. Davis, resigned ; and 
re-elected all those Members of Council who retired under Rule 
V. The Hon. Sec., the Hon. Sec. of Finance, and the Hon. 
Treasurer were also re-elected. Mr. Jas. Lingard was elected an 
Auditor, in the place of Mr. Monkhouse, resigned. 
The Rev. J. Charles Cox then gave an interesting account of 
“The Peak District in the Fourteenth Century, illustrated by 
documents from the Lichfield Chapter Muniments.” It is hoped 
that this account, with additional information, may be published 
in a future volume of the Society’s Journal. 
During the past year there have been seven meetings of the 
Council, with a regular attendance of a good proportion of elected 
Members, and the continued assistance of three Vice-Presidents ; 
at the same time we cannot help thinking that there are Members 
on the Council who might assist at its deliberations more regularly.
