a part in considering the subjects brought before the 

 Institute : all those interested in the various subjects can 

 now, by intimating their wish beforehand, receive proof 

 copies of the papers to be read, and can send in any com- 

 ments they may see fit ; these comments are brought before 

 the Council with a view to being included in the discussion, 

 which is published after each paper in the Journal. The 

 value of the Journal is thereby enhanced to all, and made 

 to include much that has not been brought before those 

 attending the meetings. 



Many leading home and foreign societies exchange Trans- 

 actions with the Institute, and an increasing number of 

 Universities, Colleges, Royal and Public Libraries in various 

 countries subscribe for its Transactions.
