  The 
  Proceedings, 
  containing 
  an 
  account 
  of 
  the 
  exhibitions 
  

   and 
  discussions 
  at 
  the 
  Meetings, 
  extend 
  to 
  over 
  40 
  pages. 
  

  

  The 
  financial 
  position 
  of 
  the 
  Society 
  is 
  satisfactory. 
  The 
  

   Subscriptions 
  for 
  1891 
  received 
  during 
  the 
  year 
  amount 
  to 
  

   £287 
  as 
  against 
  £268 
  for 
  1890, 
  and 
  the 
  amount 
  received 
  

   for 
  sale 
  of 
  publications 
  amounted 
  to 
  £95 
  in 
  1891 
  as 
  against 
  

   only 
  £71 
  in 
  the 
  preceding 
  year. 
  

  

  The 
  amount 
  expended 
  for 
  printing 
  and 
  plates 
  amounts 
  to 
  

   £318 
  for 
  1891 
  as 
  against 
  £291 
  for 
  1890, 
  notwithstanding 
  the 
  

   great 
  liberality 
  of 
  some 
  of 
  our 
  Fellows, 
  who 
  have 
  generously 
  

   assisted 
  the 
  Society 
  by 
  defraying 
  the 
  cost, 
  or 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  

   cost, 
  of 
  certain 
  plates, 
  as 
  noticed 
  above. 
  Three 
  Life-Com- 
  

   positions 
  in 
  lieu 
  of 
  Annual 
  Subscriptions 
  have 
  been 
  received 
  

   during 
  the 
  year. 
  Of 
  these 
  one 
  remains 
  unappropriated, 
  and 
  

   forms 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  balance 
  at 
  the 
  Bankers 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  

   financial 
  year 
  ; 
  one 
  has 
  been 
  devoted 
  to 
  bookbinding, 
  which 
  

   necessary 
  matter 
  had 
  fallen 
  somewhat 
  into 
  arrear 
  ; 
  and 
  the 
  

   third 
  has 
  been 
  invested, 
  producing 
  £16 
  8s. 
  Id. 
  Consols. 
  

   The 
  investments 
  now 
  amount 
  to 
  £427 
  19s. 
  3d. 
  Consols 
  (cost 
  

   £408 
  13s.). 
  

  

  During 
  the 
  past 
  year 
  nearly 
  200 
  Books, 
  Pamphlets, 
  

   Journals, 
  and 
  Papers 
  have 
  been 
  added 
  to 
  the 
  Library 
  ; 
  the 
  

   average 
  number 
  of 
  Fellows 
  attending 
  the 
  Meetings 
  is 
  far 
  

   greater 
  than 
  in 
  any 
  previous 
  year 
  of 
  the 
  Society's 
  existence, 
  

   and 
  the 
  Council 
  considers 
  it 
  has 
  reason 
  to 
  congratulate 
  the 
  

   Fellows 
  on 
  the 
  progress 
  made 
  by 
  the 
  Society 
  during 
  the 
  year 
  

   1891.
