These figures speak for themselves, and the falling off in 
Transactions taken by members is so serious that the Council 
again strongly urge the general adoption of the Carlisle Society’s 
plan (see No. XVL., p. xxv.) as the most effectual means of meeting 
the difficulty. As it is, every prospect of a balance is paid away 
in an ever-accumulating stock of Zransactions, amounting now in 
value to nearly £130. With the intention of extending the 
general interest in the work of the Association, the Council 
resolved to issue free copies of the Zvansactions to any Public 
Libraries or Reading Rooms applying for the same. It is satis- 
factory to know that several copies have been so distributed, but 
the Council would gladly issue more.
