422 Presidentship of William Spottiswoode 1878 



the Royal Society. William Spottiswoode, who was elected 

 on the same day by the Society to succeed him, was now 

 unanimously elected President of the Club. 



At the meeting on I2th December the Rules of the Club, 

 which had been under revision, were now finally settled and 

 ordered to be printed. A copy of these printed rules, 

 providently pasted into the minute-book, has been thereby 

 preserved. Though the rules had been printed before, no 

 copy of them appears to have survived, at least none has 

 been found among the archives of the Club.
