Society’s Income, as shown in the subjoined Table, in 
which the gross receipts of every year are stated :—

The average Income of the last 10 years will thus be 
seen to have been £24,502. 
The average Ordinary Expenditure of the last 10 years, 
under which head is embraced every item necessary to keep 
the Society’s whole establishment in a perfect state of 
efficiency, has been £20,788. 
It will be seen, therefore, that the margin of receipts over 
necessary expenditure is ample.
