VariiSus suggestions have been made to the Society and to the Cominittee, 

 artd have l>een partially discussed by them, during the Session, such as the 

 ]iioj)riety of establishing a general Museum, a Reading and Consulting Room, 

 and a School of Science. But, while the C'ommittee will endeavour to embrace 

 evei-^r opportunity of extending the usefulness of the Society, they do not at 

 present feel that they can do more than merely admit the importance of those 

 ')bjects, and of others to which allusion might easily be made. Perhajis. 

 indeed, to facilitate the operations of this and other local societies the peo]>le 

 (if (xreenock niay, some day, in a generous mood, put it within the power of 

 the Trustees of this Building to complete what has long, by not a few, been 

 regarded as its nattiral outline, and, hy occupying with an appropriate hsH 

 till- vacant space behind it, transform the present Institution into one which 

 should be still more worthy of the memorial character it bears ; do.new ser- 

 ^^ce in many ways to the "OTierests of Literature, Science, and Art ; and afford 

 to the community a place of polite assembly in every sense.
