that the said Triennial Gold Medal shall be awarded to the person

(but on no other subject whatsoever) published in any Journal, 

 Proceedings or Transactions of the said Institution during the three 

 years next preceding the date of such award. 



And I further direct that no award shall be made except at a 

 Meeting regularly convened by a notice in writing issued by the 

 Secretaries, stating the object of such Meeting, and to be delivered 

 to the President, Vice-Presidents, Treasurer, and other members of 

 the Council, for the time being, and to every of them, at least 

 seven days previous to the holding of such Meeting ; and unless 

 seven at least of the Officers and Members of the Council shall 

 be present at such Meeting." Provision is then made for a casting 

 vote in cases of equality, and for further Meetings if any should 

 prove abortive. 



Writers at a distance, who are interested in matters relating to 

 Cornwall, should not overlook this opportunity, as any well- written 

 paper on one of the subjects specified (if accepted for publication 

 by the Council) may secure the Medal for its author.
