In presenting the Twenty-second Annual Report your Committee 

 have the pleasure of recording the continued prosperity of the 

 Society, which has considerably increased in number during the 

 past year. They regret the loss which the Society has sustained 

 by the death of two of its Members, viz., Mr. J. Howell and Mr. 

 G. Scott, the latter one of the Vice-Presidents and Honorary 

 Librarian, and who had for many years taken an active part in 

 promoting the prosperity of the Society, and rendered valuable aid 

 in obtaining the accommodation for the Society at the Free Library 

 and Museum. 



The state of the finances is very satisfactory. The sum of 

 ^2 I OS. remains in the hands of the Treasurer, after expending 

 ;£'29 4S. 2d. in the purchase of new books and periodicals.

 during the year : — Eleventh Annual Report of the Belfast
