Institution of Premiums. 



In the Report of last year it was stated that the Council had 

 appointed a Committee to consider the best mode of carrying 

 into effect the views of the Society on this subject, in confoi mity 

 with the Resolution passed at the Monthly General Meeting, 

 February -t, 1 836 : since that time the Members of the Com- 

 mittee have applied themselves to the duties assigned to them, 

 and in October last their recommendations were submitted to 

 the Council and approved. 



The intentions of the Council were subsequently made known 

 to the Fellows and to the public by advertisements in four 

 morning papers. Two designs for the proposed medal have 

 been drawn by an eminent artist, which have been approved 

 of by the Council, and further steps have been taken for the 

 preparation of dies.
