The Committee of the Society are prepared in addition, with the 

 sanction of the Town Council, to make arrangements for occasional 

 popular lectures in Science and Natural History during the winter 

 to the working classes and others ; holding themselves free to charge 

 (if necessary) a small admittance fee, sufficient to cover expenses. 

 It would thus be their endeavour to make the Museum itself a place 

 of instruction and education for the rising population of the town. 

 We have the honour to be, Gentlemen, 



Your obedient Servants, 

 Signed on behalf ) C. E. FITZGERALD, M.D., President, 

 of the Committee i HENRY ULLYETT, B.Sc, Secretary.

Dear Sir, — At a meeting of the Public Library and Museum

 with the above resolution.
