THE ROYAL IRISH ACADEMY. 



1846-7. No. 63. 



March 16th, 1847. (Stated Meeting.) 



REV. HUMPHREY LLOYD, D. D., President, in the 

 Chair. 



The Secretary of the Academy read the following Report : 



The Council, on the expiration of their year of ofRce, are happy 

 to be able to express their satisfaction at the continued prosperity 

 of the Acadenfiy. 



During the past year the first part of the twenty-first volume of 

 the Transactions has been published, containing some valuable 

 papers in the departments of Science and Polite Literature. The 

 second Part is in the press, and is considerably advanced. 



The Proceedings have been published with great regularity. The 

 Council are happy to be able to state, that the strict enforcement of 

 the rule which requires a complete abstract of each paper to be 

 furnished before leave to read it can be obtained, has enabled the 

 Secretary of Council to bring out the Proceedings after each meeting 

 without delay. It woidd be unjust, however, to that gentleman, not 

 to admit, that this success is also very much due to the zealous 

 manner in which he has carried out the intention and spirit of the 

 regulation, as well as to the willing co-operation he has' received 

 from the authors of papers.
