[N.B. — The remarks and speeches in the discussions are taken 

 down verbatim by a shorthand writer, and afterwards written 

 out at length with a typewriter, for reference and repro- 

 duction, if required ; and therefore, more is seldom given 

 herein than an indication of their general drift. If any 

 person should wish to refer to the verbatim report, he can 

 apply to the Secretary to the Society, who will give him an 

 opportunity of transcribing it ; or if he reside at a distance, 

 so much as he requires will, upon payment of the cost of 

 reproducing it, be forwarded to his address.]
