The Session has been most successful, for not only have there been 

 twice as many meetings as in previous Sessions, but those meetings also 

 have been better attended than formerly, and the various Lectures that 

 have been given have been of such a character as is well calculated to 

 further the objects of the Association. On one occasion, a professional 

 Lecturer, (Mr. Proctor), was engaged, and to his Lecture members of 

 neighbouring Societies were invited, and twenty-five from Maryport and 

 Cockermouth attended. 



The Association numbers seventy-six members, which is an increase 

 upon last year's membership; and the financial position also is very 

 satisfactory.
