PHOTOGRAPHIC SECTION. 
The Dark Room has been put into thoroughly good order, and is now 
fitted with an Enlarging Lantern and an Enlarging Camera, both of which 
are arranged for immediate use with artificial light. The room is well-stocked 
with dishes and other requisites; and there are a few lockers which may be 
rented by Members. 
Three Open Meetings have been held during the past Session, two of 
which were Exhibitions of Prize Slides, and the third a Lecture on 
« Home Portraiture,” by Mr. P. R. SALMON, F.R.P.S. This Lecture was 
given by arrangement with the Affiliation of Photographic Societies. 
_ For the Members of the Section the following demonstrations were 
given :— 
Postal and Greeting Cards on Velox Paper ; 
Lantern Slide Making; 
Making of Enlarged Negatives ; 
Lantern Slide Testing Evening. 
It has been decided to undertake a Photographic Survey of the Society’s 
District ; and the co-operation of all Members is solicited. Photographs of 
Old Buildings, Current Events, Geological features in Excavations, &c., will 
all be useful to the Committee in making this Collection. 
The Photographic Section is now affiliated with the Royal Photographic 
Society, and each Member who pays the special Subscription of One Shilling 
| is entitled to the ‘‘Red Book,” which carries with it permission to photograph 
_ in many public buildings, &c.; and also permission to use our own Dark 
Room and those of other Affiliated Societies.

LITERATURE SECTION. 
The two evenings allotted to this Section were filled as follows :— 
IgOl. 
Nov. 28th—‘ Rossetti,” by Rev. P. A. MILLER, M.A. 
1902. : 
Jan. 23rd—‘‘Tolstoi: his Life and Work,” by E. OWEN ROBERTS, Esq. 
Both Papers attracted considerable audiences, were much appreciated, 
and Jed to interesting discussions. In the case of the former Paper 
much interest attached to some reminiscences contributed by Mrs. HENRY 
SANDFORD; and it was generally felt that the Paper and discussion broke 
ound which might profitably be further cultivated. The Officers of the 
ection are much encouraged by the interest taken in these Papers, and are 
confirmed in their belief that the Section may, in the future, do much to 
help in the cultivation among Members of the Society of that which is of 
=i een solace and inspiration—a desire for and a satisfaction in the best 
erature. .
