10TH DECEMBER. Meeting at the Parish Church Hall, when 
Lewis C. Thomson, Esq. lectured upon ‘‘A Glimpse of 
Old Cornwall.” The illustrative slides were kindly lent 
by Thurston Peter, Esq, 
The thanks of the Society are due to Mr. E. S. W. Hart 
and Mr. C. A. Spon for working the lantern at the evening 
meetings. 
In the Report for 1906 reference was made to the fact that 
the sum required for the repair of the Colfe Almshouses had 
been collected, and the Council now congratulates the 
Worshipful Company of Leathersellers, the Members of this 
Society, and the inhabitants of Lewisham generally, that the 
picturesque old houses, which Lewisham could so ill afford to 
lose, have been put into a state of efficient repair, and are again 
occupied. 
The hope expressed by the Council in 1904 that arrange- 
ments might shortly be made for the publication in permanent 
form of Mr. Duncan’s lecture upon ‘‘Old Lewisham,” has 
hitherto been impossible of fulfilment owing to lack of funds. 
The increase in the annual subscription, however, has now 
enabled the Hon. Treasurer to accumulate a larger balance. 
Moreover, during the past year the Council has been in con- 
sultation with the Committee of the Lewisham Municipal 
Association, which has voted a substantial grant towards the 
object in view. The book is now in process of preparation by 
Mr. Duncan, and the Council hopes to issue it, adequately 
illustrated, to all Members of the Society within the present 
year. 
The number of members upon the roll of the Society is 
now 124. 
EDWARD BRABROOK, Preszdent.
