The Eev. H. S. Slight moved the following Eesolution : — 



That the Eeport of the Council be received, adopted, and 

 printed, and that M. Moissenet be elected an Honorary Member. 



He congratulated the ]\Ieeting upon the very satisfactory 

 position of the Society, and expressed the deep personal regret 

 which he felt at the death of Mr. Chorley. He believed the 

 Institution was calculated to do good work. It diffused strict 

 science and corrected the false ideas which had been entertained 

 in even high scientific quarters. 



The Eev. A. P. Moor seconded, and spoke very highly of the 

 gain to the Society which would accrue from the accession to the 

 Secretaryship of Dr. Le Neve Foster and Mr. Collins. 



The President in putting the motion, which was duly carried, 

 said it was little known that Mr. Chorley was an author of con- 

 siderable merit, as he had never, as far as he could call to mind, 

 suffered his name to be attached as author to any published com- 

 positions in prose or verse. Yet there had been printed at his 

 own cost, with C. C. on the title page, several original poems 

 and translations into English verse from the Hebrew, Greek 

 and Latin (often in the original Latin metres); also from the 

 French, Italian, Spanish and German (the whole of Schiller's 

 Marie Stuart for instance), none of the few copies printed in 

 each case being ever parted with except as gifts to such friends 

 as he deemed worthy of his confidence. He had no doubt that 

 all of the recipients would join him in hoping that his executors 

 may eventually publish these chaste and elegant productions that 

 justice may be done to his literary memory. 



Dr. Barham explained that if there was a balance in hand it 

 should be recollected that there was a mortgage debt of £150. 

 However, since he had been connected with the Institution he had 

 seen the mortgage reduced by £1,400 or £1,500, so that he hoped 

 it would soon be paid off.
