The number of Fellows is steadily, if not rapidly, increa- 

 sing ; and the support afforded to the Society by the public, 

 is evinced in a manner which gives unequivocal indications 

 of their approval and interest in its success. 



Under these circumstances, the Council trust that they 

 are entitled to congratulate the Society on the present state 

 of their prospects, which, there is every ground to believe, 

 must tend to still greater successes in directing the attention 

 of all classes to the charms of that beautiful and elevating 

 science which the Institution was founded to promote.
