WINTER LECTURES. 



The following series of popular lectures, forming the twenty-fourth 

 annual course, was delivered in the Rotunda Hall of the Library, during 

 the months of January to March. They were attended by 83,046 

 persons, or an average of 921 per lecture. With the exception of some 

 200 seats the remainder of the hall, numbering 1,000 seats, was free. 

 As a means of instruction and as giving a stimulus to reading, these 

 lectures are, it is believed, performing a valuable educational work.
