MEETING. 5 
Publications. 
12. The nineteenth volume of the Journal of Transactions 
has been issued, and, judging from the opinions already passed 
upon it, is certainly not regarded as inferior to those that have 
preceded it. It may be added that among the most 
satisfactory portion of the large home, foreign and colonial 
correspondence of the Institute is that in which the writers 
speak of the very great value of the Journal to Members 
and others; such letters come from the United States, 
Canada, Australia, India, Japan, South Africa, and wherever 
the Institute has made its way. 
Lectures. 
13. In delivering lectures, the Members of the Institute, 
both at home and abroad, make increasing use of the Journal 
(every paper in which is printed under the superintendence of 
its own author); they also find the library of reference of 
much use. 
Translations. 
14. Portions of the Journal are now translated into many 
foreign languages. Members abroad may do much to help 
the Institute’s aims by encouraging the translation of useful 
papers in their respective localities. 
The Special Fund. 
15. The Special Fund is used—I. To extend the library of 
reference—useful to Members of the Institute, and for 
lending to Members preparing lectures, &e.—II. To make the 
Institute more widely known.—III. To publish summaries 
of the Institute’s important work throughout the world.—lV. 
For organising the publication of the People’s Edition at 
home and abroad. 
The twelve papers in the People’s Edition are now on 
sale throughout the United States, Australia, and New Zealand, 
in the South African Colonies, and Canada. As regards 
India, increased support to the Special Fund is necessary 
to make efficient action possible.
