PROCEEDINGS 



OF THE 



LITEKAEY AND PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY 



OF LIVEEPOOL. 



SESSION XXXV. 



MDCCCXLVI. 



October 19. 

 JOSEPH BKOOKS YATES, Esq., F.S.A., President, 

 in the Chair. 

 First Meeting of the Society for the Session 1846-1847. 

 The President, on taking the chair, announced that, as 

 the term of his office had now expired, it was his duty to 

 place the office in the hands of the Society. In doing so, he 

 hegged to return his thanks to the members for the uniform 

 support which they had given him in the discharge of his 

 official duties ; and concluded by expressing an ardent hope, 

 that the progress of the Society would keep pace with the 

 rapidly increasing magnitude and growing prosperity of 

 Liverpool. 



The Report of the Society for the last year having been 

 read, 



The President stated that, since the last Meeting, the 

 Society had lost one of its corresponding members, Dr. 

 Bostock, F. R. S. His own close connexion with the 

 deceased would have rendered it improper for him to speak 

 of him in the terms which his merits warranted ; but an 

 eulogium worthy of his talents and attainments would be 

 found recorded in the proceedings of the late Meeting of 

 the British Association at Southampton.
