The attendance at the Lectures (though satisfactory as regards 

 the average) was unequal ; that at Dr. Taylor's Lecture, given in 

 the Public Hall, was very large. 



On August 29th, the Society joined the Keswick and Mary- 

 port Societies in an excursion to examine the Glacial Moraines of 

 Greenup Gill, Borrowdale. 



An English Literature Class has been most efficiently con- 

 ducted by the Rev. C. H. Gem ; eight separate evenings were 

 devoted to it ; the attendance averaged thirty.
