A very gratifying proposition will b" submitted to the 

 Members, to allow the Library to be opened as a Subscrip- 

 tion Reading Room, to which the Committee anticipate their 

 ready assent. It will be proposed that Non-Members be per- 

 mitted to become Subscribers, It -s hoped that this measure 

 will advance the general interests of the Institution. 



The contemplated publication of the Library Catalogue 

 prevents the Committee from dilating on many subjects con- 

 nected with the present state, and futi;re prospects of the 

 Institution. And they will therefore only call the att; ntion 

 of the Members to the circumstances of the formation of tie 

 Book Society, and to the proposed opening of a Subscription 

 Reading Room, as evidences of the capabilities of the Insti- 

 tution, which, by the united exertion and patient perse- 

 verance of its Members and Friends, may in a few years be 

 fully developed.
