304 ANNVAJ. GENEEAL MEETING. 



past year, and that the president, vice-presidents, and others 

 named, he the council for the ensuing year as recommended in 

 the report. 



Mr. W. J. Criddle seconded the motion, which was unani- 

 mously carried. 



Mr. W. J. Johns (the Mayor of Truro) moved a vote of 

 thanks to the gentlemen who had favoured the society with 

 papers or other communications, and the donors to the Museum. 

 — Mr. S. Pascoe seconded, and it was carried unanimously. — 

 The Rev. Canon Cornish proposed a vote of thanks to the 

 president. He was sure they felt that an impetus was given 

 to their work by having such a gentleman at their head — 

 Mr. T. A. Cragoe seconded the resolution, which was carried. — 

 The President, replying, said he was obliged for their kindness, 

 but he must crave their indulgence for many shortcomings. 

 It would have given him and Mrs. Tremayne the greatest 

 pleasure to have been at their conversazione in the evening, but 

 the state of his health precluded it. As far as he was able, 

 however, during his tenure of office, it would be his wish and 

 desire to further the objects of the Institution as far as he was 

 able to do so. 



The annual Meeting was followed by the usual Conver- 

 sazione in the evening, when an interesting paper, by the Rev. 

 S. Bundle, vicar of Grodolphin, Helston, on " Cornishisms in 

 Ancient Literature," from the 10th century to 1689, was read. 

 The paper was one of considerable research, the chapters and 

 pages of the works in which the words commented on occur 

 being all given. The paper was read by Mr. E. Eundle, of the 

 Royal Cornwall Infirmary, Truro, and was following by a 

 discussion. — The Rev. W. lago gave an interesting and amusing 

 resume of the annual excursion which took place in August last. 

 His remarks on the celebrated Jubilee Rock contained much 

 information, which was quite new to the audience. 



Mr. Hamilton James followed with an account of Stone- 

 henge, and, with the assistance of the beautiful model which 

 was generously presented to the society by Mr. John Burton, of 

 Falmouth, was enabled to give a most interesting and graphic 

 description of this remarkable monument.
