REPORT OF THE POPULAR LECTURE 

 COMMITTEE. 



During the Winter of 1887-88 the Committee were able to arrange 

 four Popular Lectures. These were given in St. George's Hall before 

 good audiences, and, although they resulted in a financial loss, must 

 be regarded as being successful. Members of the Society were admitted 

 free to the Lectures, and Season Tickets for the Four Lectures were 

 issued for the reduced price of half-a-crown. The appended Balance 

 Sheet will show the receipts at each Lecture, and the expenses of the 

 course. 



The following were the Dates, Lectures, and Subjects: 



Tuesday, Nov, 29 — F. W. Rudler, F.G.S "Volcanoes." 



Wednesday, Jan. 25 — Prof. F. Clowes, D. Sc, F.R.S. "Fire: Friend and Foe."
