REPORT 
Presented at the Annual Meeting held 7th April, 1908. 
In presenting the Twenty-ninth Annual Report 
of the Burnley Literary and Scientific Club, the 
Committee are glad to be able to record that the 
reputation of the Club has been fully maintained. 
During the year twenty-three ordinary meetings 
have been held, the average number present being 
82—members 45, friends 37. 
The Papers read before the Society have covered 
a wide field, and have reached a high standard of 
excellence. 
Whilst the majority have dealt with Literature, 
Science, and Travel, pleasant variations have been 
afforded by the charming exhibition of sketches 
gathered together by the President—Jas. Kay, Esq., J.P. 
—to illustrate his Paper, by the musical accompani- 
ments of the Whittier Evening, and by the masterly 
recital of the ‘“ Christmas Carol,” by Mr. Harwood. 
Twelve new members have been elected during 
the year—the Club now consisting of 196 Ordinary 
and 24 Honorary members.
