The Report. 139 



could depend on an annual income of £50 for this purpose the 

 Museum and Library would be largely independent of the General 

 Fund, which would then be more available for the Magazine and 

 other purposes of the Society. All who are willing- to subscribe 

 OS. a year or upwards are asked to communicate with the Eev. 

 E. H. Goddard, Clyft'e Vicarage, Swindon. We have to report 

 that, after expenditure in ordinary repairs, we have let such part 

 of the dwelling-house as is not at present utilised for our purposes. 

 We regret to say that we have been involved in considerable 

 further outlay in perfecting the sanitary arrangements of the 

 house, which proved to be inefficient. As will be seen from 

 the accounts, we are charging the expenses in the first place 

 against the " Enlargement Fund," crediting that account with the 

 sum paid as rent by the tenant. 



" Stonehenge. — The legal proceedings brought to enforce the 

 alleged rights of way at Stonehenge, ending as they did in the 

 vindication of the position taken up by the owner, were a matter 

 of widespread interest and discussion in the press. Our Society 

 has always placed the preservation and care of the monument 

 before any other consideration whatever, and it cannot but be a 

 matter of congratulation to us that the advice given to the owner 

 by representatives of our Society, in concert with those of the 

 other Societies concerned, and adopted by him, has not been 

 rendered nugatory. We would venture to express a hope that 

 Sir Edmund Antrobus may now see his way to add to the good 

 work he has already done in tlie raising of the leaning stone, by 

 carrying out some, if not all, of the remaining recommendations 

 of the Stonehenge Committee, viz. : the concreting of the bases of 

 the leaning stones in the outer circle; the replacement of the 

 stones which fell in 1900 ; and, lastly, the raising of the Great 

 Trilithon now lying prostrate. 



" Monumentnl Inscriptions. — We regret to report that the number 

 of subscribers in response to the circular suggesting the printing 

 of the first section of the Wiltshire Inscriptions was insufficient 

 to warrant the undertaking of the work, and for the present the 

 result of Mr. T. H. Baker's labours cannot be so issued.
