RULES OF THE SOCIETY. 1x 
XIV. At general meetings of the society, the committee may 
recommend persons eminent for their literary, or scientific acquire- 
ments, to be balloted for as honorary, or corresponding members. 
XV. When any office shall become vacant, or any appointment 
shall be requisite, the committee shall have power to fill up the same; 
such appointments shall remain in force only to the next general 
meeting, when they shall be either confirmed or annulled. 
XVI. The treasurer shall receive all subscriptions and donations 
made to the society, and shall pay all accounts passed by the com- 
mittee: he shall keep a book of receipts and payments, which he 
shall produce whenever the committee shall require it: the accounts 
shall be audited previously to the anniversary meeting, by two 
members of the committee chosen for that purpose, and an abstract 
of them shall be read at the meeting. 
XVII. No change shall be made in the laws of the society, except 
at a general, or special meeting, at which twelve members, at least, 
shall be present. Of the proposed change a month’s notice shall be 
given to the secretaries; who shall communicate the same to each 
member three weeks before the meeting. 
XVIII. Papers read at meetings of the society, and considered by 
the committee of sufficient interest for publication, will be printed, 
(with the author’s consent) in such manner as shall be determined 
by the committee to be the best for the purpose, for gratuitous 
distribution, or otherwise, to the members of the society; and for 
such price to the public as may be agreed upon.
