The Committee would next direct attention to the Book 

 Circulation. The same Periodicals have been taken regularly 

 as those of the previous years, but for want of a better plan of 

 circulation, the Members have not generally availed themselves 

 of them. The Committee have also been without the aid of 

 a paid Secretary during part of the last year. 



Lastly ; your Committee would direct your attention to the 

 state of the Finances. Owing tot he accumulation of arrears, 

 the Funds of the Society have been declining and it has been 

 found necessary to issue a circular, calling on Members to pay 

 up arrears ; this circular has been partially successful.
