My staff has been unchanged during the year, and their con- 

 scientious work is worthy of all the praise I can give them. No 

 Committee could, I think, be better served, and the resolution 

 passed by you after the Annual Stocktaking was a source of much 

 gratification to them. I desire once more to thank you for the 

 uniform kindness and consideration I receive at your hands, which 

 makes my work a pleasure. 



I have already reported fully to you on the Library Conference 

 at Brighton, and I know of nothing else which calls for special 

 remark, and therefore subscribe myself. 



Your Obedient Servant, 



W. CROWTHER, 



Librarian and Secretary.
