imaginative faculty, ingenuity, and a keen sense of humour, and 

 were closely in touch with the full-bodied, homely, racy English 

 life of the period husbandry, the chase, the use of arms, 

 devotion, domestic, and industrial occupations. The Psalter 

 contains also the Canticles, Te Deum, Athanasian Creed, Litany 

 of the Saints, and Office of the Dead, preceded by a calendar. 

 It is supposed to have been done for Sir Godfrey Louterell, of 

 Irnham, Lincoln, who was born in 1276 and died in 1345. On 

 page 202, at the end of Psalm cviii., the last of the Psalms sung 

 at Matins, is the inscription in the same hand as the text : 

 " Dominus Galfridus Louterell me fieri fecit." 



BUSINESS MEETING. 



A short business meeting was held on the lawn, at which 

 twelve members were elected and two candidates for member- 

 ship nominated. 



The HON. SEC. read the following letter which he had received 

 from Mr. W. H. Hudleston, and made sympathetic reference to 

 his illness: 



8, Stanhope Gardens, Queen's Gate, S.W. June 8th. Dear Mr. Pentin, I 

 am reluctantly compelled to say that there is no material improvement in my 

 condition. Since the time is getting short, I believe that it will be the best plan 

 to give up the proposed steamboat excursion. This is a great grief to me, as I 

 have long contemplated such a scheme, and am much gratified at its acceptance 

 by the Field Club. Should I survive to see another summer, provided my health 

 has not altogether broken down, I shall have great pleasure in renewing the 

 offer. -Yours sincerely, W. H. HUDLESTON. 



The PRESIDENT also expressed regret at Mr. Hudleston's 

 illness, and then in terms of warm appreciation he expressed 

 the gratitude of the Club to Miss Weld, Mr. Chas. Weld 

 Blundell, and Mr. Henry Duke for all their kindnesses which 

 had made the day so successful and pleasant. 



Tea was, at Miss Weld's kind invitation, enjoyed in the open 

 air, the tables being spread on the lawn, and then the party 

 drove back to Wool Station.
