6 ANNUAL 



(vols. 6 to 18), with a view to translating and publishing a 

 selection of the papers in India. Members abroad may do 

 much to help the Institute's aims by fostering the translation 

 of the Transactions in their respective localities. 



The Special Fund. 



14. The advantage of this Fund' to the Institute is very 

 great. It is used — I. To extend the Institute's libraiy of 

 reference. — II. To make the Institute more known through- 

 out the world. — III. To publish a 'precis of its most important 

 papers. — IV. To promote the publication in adequate quan- 

 tities of the twelve Papers in the People's Edition and secure 

 their circulation through booksellers at home and abroad.* 



15. The progress of the Institute in the various colonies and 

 in the United States during the last eight years has enabled it 

 to mature a self-supporting scheme by which the People's 

 Edition might be efficiently brought before the public. 

 This scheme was first carried into effect last year in 

 the Australian Colonies and New Zealand Avith signal success ; 

 the same steps have now been taken — so far as funds have 

 allowed — in the United States, Canada, and the South African 

 Colonies. As regards India, the first effort has been made, 

 but its satisfactory development is not possible without a 

 larger Special Fund.t 



* It seems necessary again to call attention to the immense exportation by 

 the English Secularist Societies of quasi-philosophical publications of an 

 avowedly Atheistic character, not only to our colonies, but also to the chief 

 cities of the whole world. These societies are also indirectly promoting 

 the secularisation of education in India and the colonies, even in schools 

 founded by Christians for mixed education. 



t Only twelve of the papers read during the past twelve years are to be 

 had in the People's Edition (price 6d. each) ; as a rule, the discussions are not 

 added to these. 



The Foreign and Colonial publishers of the People's Edition are given 

 on the Title-pages of the Volume and Quarterly Parts. They are —
