ROYAL INSTITUTION OF CORNWALL. 
SPRING MEETING, 
Sle 
Tus Meeting was held on Tuesday, the 23rd of May, in the 
Library of the Institution. The Chair was occupied by the 
President, Mr. W. Jory Henwood, F.R.S., F.G.S., &¢., who de-

Our progress during the past year has been successful beyond 
example ; we have not a single loss to deplore ; and the numerous 
volunteers to our ranks prove the increase of general interest in 
our pursuits, whilst they ensure the usefulness of the INSTITUTION 
for years to come. 
Since our last Spring-meeting the third part of Sir John 
Maclean’s Parochial and Family History of Trigg Minor has ap- 
peared. It illustrates the Parish of Saint Breward (Simonward) ; 
and even exceeds—if it be possible to exceed—in interest the first 
two parts, which are devoted to Blisland and Bodmin. Every- 
thing published by this Gentleman has a double claim on our 
attention ; not only because he is a native of Cornwall; but that, 
for years past, the Journal of this Institution has been enriched by 
his labours. 
It will be the agreeable duty of my successor to congratulate 
Dr. Bannister on the appearance of his Glossary of Cornish Names, 
which even now is about to issue from the press. We must all 
earnestly hope that its success will repay him for the time and 
research which we know he has bestowed on it. 
The members of this INSTITUTION must ever feel a paternal
