 renewed eiforts as will insure enlarged usefulness and success in 

 the several fields of action in which our labors are employed, in 

 the hope and expectation that the American Institute will not 

 cease to exist until it shall have accomplished all the objects which 

 its most ardent friends and advocates may desire, and to which a 

 liberal and enlightened public may contribute. 

 Respectfully submitted,
