The expenditure has therefore slightly exceeded the receipts, thus almost 
annihilating the small balance exhibited in the statement of accounts for 
1870. And it will be seen that even this result has only been obtained 
from the item of donations, though, with the exception of a sum liberally 
subscribed by Mr. W. Wilson Saunders, this item is made up from contri- 
butions received from the Rey. A. E. Eaton and Mr. W. Arnold Lewis, 
towards the expenses of publishing their memoirs; the thanks of the 
Society are also due to Mr. Butler for the plate illustrating one of his 
papers. 
A consideration of this financial statement can but prove to the Members 
that the endeavours of the Council to extend the usefulness of the Society 
are powerless without their aid, and that aid it confidently asks and expects. 
An addition of twenty new Members to our number would relieve the 
Council of much of the anxiety it continually experiences in its endeavours 
to maintain for the Society the position it has attained, and would also 
enable it to be more liberal in adding to the Library.
