that immediately after the last annual meeting a highly 

 interesting course of Lectures, extending to nineteen, was 

 commenced at the Gardens, by Dr. Woodroffe, and though 

 given at an hour found in practice to be inconvenient, a 

 class averaging over seventy attended. Dr. Woodroffe 

 has most kindly undertaken to give a second course, which 

 is now in progress, on Mondays and Thursdays, at half- 

 past three o'clock. The admissions for the period included 

 in the account have been
