Several meetings of the Members have been held oariiig the session 

 for the discussion of the business of the society, and have been fruitful 

 of benefit in various ways. They have afforded to Members opportuni- 

 ties of making suggestions relating to the proceedings, which in every 

 instance have been carefully considered and as far as possible acted upon 

 by the Committee. 



It will happen in years to come that one session will differ charac- 

 teristically from another. Literature will predominate in one winter, 

 Science in another, Art in another. But it will be always the aim and 

 desire of the Committee, as far as the means afforded them will permit, 

 to meet the general wishes of the Society, and, in every department, to 

 acknowledge the cultivated spirit of the age.
