6 Annual Meeting 



Mr. Anderson, in proposing the adoption of the Report and 

 Statement of Accounts, said he was sorry that his attendance 

 during the last Session or two had not been very good, but that 

 was no indication that he was not as enthusiastic in the work 

 of the Society as ever he had been, for he saw from the Press, 

 and heard from members how they were progressing, and he 

 was heartily glad to know that their position in the circum- 

 stances was very satisfactory. It was highly gratifying to know 

 that the popular lectures had been appreciated so well by the 

 inhabitants of Belfast, and he believed the attendance in the 

 past was a good augury of what might be expected in the future. 

 He (Mr. Anderson) was delighted to know that the Misses 

 Mackay had presented the Society with a series of early volumes 

 of the Belfast News-Letter, which could not fail to be full of 

 interest, and he hoped that others would follow such a com- 

 mendable example. 



Mr. Rowan seconded the motion, which was agreed to 

 unanimously. 



The President said it might be the wish of the meeting that 

 the Secretary should read out a list of the donations that had 

 been received. (See page 8.) 



A vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the proceedings.
