THE VICTORIA INSTITUTE. 



The Journal is arranged so as to secure its special useful- 

 ness to Country and Foreign Members and Associates (who 

 form two-thirds of the Institute). 



The Journal contains the Papers read at the 

 Meetings, and the Discussions thereon. 



Before they are published in the Journal, the papers themselves, and 

 the discussions, are revised and corrected by their Authors, and MS. comments 

 and supplementary remarks are added, which have been sent in by those Home 

 and Foreign Members to whom, as being specially qualified to pronounce an 

 opinion upon the respective subjects, proof copies of the Papers have been 

 submitted for consideration. These arrangements, which cannot but add to 

 the value of the Journal, are carried out with a view to the advantage of 

 all, especially Country and Foreign Members, who thus find in the Journal 

 much valuable matter, in addition to that which had come before those 

 actually present at the Meetings.
