10 
terms of high praise, and there has been nothing during the past year to 
alter my good opinion of them. 
My own labours have been made lighter and pleasanter by your ready 
acquiescence in whatever suggestions I have made for the better carrying 
on of the work of the Institution, and I cannot do less than express to 
you my sincere obligations, while the Library and the Institution as a 
whole, as well as the officers, owe much to the local press for their ready 
co-operation and help. 
I remain, Gentlemen, 
Your obedient Servant, 
WILLIAM CROWTHER, 
Librarian and Curator. 
October 26th, 1896.
