Second General Meeting. 15 



to the Society's magazine — they have to search for knowledge in 

 the different mines of information ; and when they have done that, 

 they have to collect everything into a given point, and to make 

 what are technically termed "selections," without invidiousness to 

 any person: in short they have to do all the dirty work of the 

 association. I believe that none are acquainted with the onerous 

 duties of a secretary, except those upon whom they have devolved. 

 To my mind the Right Hon. Chairman himself would have been 

 the best person to have proposed and seconded this resolution, for I 

 think if there be one man more than another who feels the odious- 

 ness of a secretary's post, it must be the Right Honourable the 

 Secretary at War. I will now beg most humbly, but yet most 

 cordially, to second this resolution — "That the grateful thanks of 

 this meeting be given to the Rev. Mr. Jackson, and the Rev. Mr. 

 Lukis, for their zeal and perseverance in editing the magazine of 

 , the Society, and also for preparing the present report." (Applause). 



The resolution on being put to the meeting, was unanimously 

 adopted. 



John Britton, Esq., F. S. A., rose to propose on behalf of the 

 committee, the names of the following gentlemen as honorary 

 members of the Society:" viz. — The Rev. Joseph Hunter, F.S.A. 

 J. Y. Akerman, Esq., Secretary to the Society of Antiquaries; 

 John Britton, Esq., F.S.A. ; E. R. Brayley, Esq., F.S.A. ; Albert 

 Way, Esq., F.S.A.; C. R. Smith, Esq., F.S.A.; George Godwin, 

 Esq., F.R.S. ; Wm. Yarrell, Esq., F.R.Z.S. ; Professor Owen, F.R.S. ; 

 Thomas Bell, Esq., F.R.S., &c. ; and Thos. Wright, Esq., M.A. 

 F.S.A.; &c. 



Mr. Biackmore seconded the resolution, which was agreed to. 



The Rev. Sub-Dean Eyre said, that at the former meeting of 

 the Society the members omitted to elect a Committee of Trustees, 

 to whom the care of their property might be entrusted. He had 

 now to propose the election of Sir Edmund Antrobus, Bart; Sir 

 John Wither Aw dry, Knt.; Sir F. Bathurst, Bart. ; the Rev. Arthur 

 Fane; Capt. Gladstone; the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert; Sir H. 

 R. Hoare, Bart. ; Walter Long, Esq.; H. Merewether, Esq.; Joseph 

 Neeld, Ksij.; Earl Nelson; Chas. Penruddocke, Esq. ; G. P. Scrope,
