A4 
lecture-room upstairs would be at their disposal. Another advantage 
would be, the facility provided for examining specimens in illustration 
of any lecture delivered. Letters had been received from several 
members, unable to attend the meeting, approving of the proposal. 
Mr. Henry Willett, whose consent to the removal was necessary, 
inasmuch as several of the books were his property, had also written 
expressing not only his entire approval of the suggestion, but also his 
wish that his books should go to the Town Library anyway, but, if the

immense advantage to the Society: it would thereby become much 
more influential, and would most likely draw more young men into its 
ranks than hitherto. 
Mr. GWATKIN, the present Librarian, expressed his concurrence

(Applause.) 
The motion was then carried unanimously. 
Mr. T. W. Wonror, feeling that they would not have occupied 
the position they were in had it not been for the kindness of the 
Medico-Chirurgical Society and the Dispensary Committee, moved
