SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. 51 
niecations made, on both the subjects which the society 
takes inhand. It is proposed, with the permission of the 
contributors, to select from these such portions as may 
seem suitable for publication, and may be suffieient to form 
an 8vo. volume ; and it is intended to illustrate this publi- 
cation with engravings on copper Or wood of the following 
objects ——Nunney Castle ; Lullington Church ; the old 
Market Cross and Bridge at Bridgwater, both nowremoved; 
vemains of ancient sculpture, from St. Cuthbert's Church, 
Wells, and from Wellington Church ; Saxon and early 
English coins struck in the county.* Papers ofa general 
nature, not relating to this county more than any other, 
though at the time of reading they afforded so much gra- 
tification and instruction to the auditors, they have no 
intention of committing to the press. 
“The original rules of the society provided for one anni- 
versary and three other general meetings, to take place 
quarterly, with the understanding that these last should 
be held at the head quarters of the society, and that the 
anniversary meeting alone should be migratory. It was, 
however, subsequently resolved to make all the meetings 
migratory,andtothis resolution the committee have adhered. 
But their experience of the past year having shewn them 
that one meeting in each quarter is likely to prove too 
great a tax upon the time of those who carry on the busi- 
ness of the society, as well as of those who contribute to 
its amusement, they now recommend that meetings shall 
be held only twice in the year—the anniversary meeting 
at the usual time,and another in the summer quarter, when 
the length of the days and the weather are favourable for 
an excursion. 
* The Papers on Lullington Church and the Sculptures from St. 
Cuthbert’s Church, Wells, with the illustrations, are deferred, and other 
subjects take their place, H
