JAMES JOHNSTON, 



Assistant Secretary, 

 Toronto, 31st December, 1854. Canadian Institute. 



Extract from the Report of the Parliamentary Committee on the applica- 

 tion of the Council of the Canadian Institute for encouragement in the 

 publication of the Canadian Journal. 



The joint Committee of the Legislative Council and the Legislative 

 Assembly, for the management and direction of the Library of 

 Parliament, 



Beg leave to present a Third Report. 



"The Council of the Canadian Institute have made application to the 

 Committee for some pecuniary assistance in the publication of their 

 Journal, Tvhich is a monthly periodical devoted to the diffusion of 

 Scientific and Literary information, chiefly connected with the progress of 

 Science and Art in this Province. It also serves as a medium for the pub- 

 lication of such papers of interest, on topics of Provincial concern, as may 

 be read before the Institute, and is a record of the proceedings of that 

 steadily improving and useful Society. By a recent arrangement, the 

 proceedings of the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec, are also 

 given in this Journal. Viewing it as a vehicle for the dissemination 

 of accurate and practical knowledge on topics of great and increasing 

 importance in this country, and as a means of collecting information 

 regarding the mineral resources and manufacturing skill of Canada, 

 which may tend to advance our interests abroad, the Committee have 

 unanimously agreed to recommend that sixty copies of the Journal be 

 subscribed for, from its commencement, and for the future, until fur- 

 ther orders. These copies, they suggest, should be circulated, in the 

 proportions of 36 in Upper Canada, and 24 in Lower Canada, among 

 Mechanics' Institutes, Colleges and Schools, and they are now in cor- 

 respondence with the Editor, in prijer to ascertain in what localities 



the circulation of the Journal could be increased so as best to forward 

 the interests of the publication, and to meet the views of the Committee 

 for the benefit of those to whom they would desire to have it gent. 

 Having ascertained these particulars, and obtained the sanction of the 

 House to their recommendation, they will direct the copies subscribed 

 for to be dispatched direct from the office of the journal to their res- 

 pective destinatioBs " 



Extract from the Third Report of the Joint Library Committee pre- 

 sented to the Legislative Assembly, and concurred in by that House, 

 on Monday the 18th December, 1854, having been previously present- 

 ed to the Legislative Council, and concurred in by that Honorable 

 Body.
