  Supplement-Catalogue, 
  containing 
  the 
  titles 
  of 
  works 
  

   added 
  to 
  the 
  Library 
  between 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  1859 
  and 
  June 
  1862, 
  and 
  

   a 
  complete 
  classified 
  list 
  of 
  the 
  Periodical 
  works 
  in 
  the 
  possession 
  

   of 
  the 
  Society 
  at 
  the 
  latter 
  date, 
  the 
  publication 
  of 
  which 
  was 
  

   begun 
  previously 
  to 
  the 
  last 
  Anniversary, 
  has 
  been 
  completed 
  for 
  

   some 
  months, 
  and 
  is 
  supplied 
  to 
  the 
  Fellows 
  at 
  a 
  charge 
  of 
  2s. 
  The 
  

   cost 
  of 
  this 
  Catalogue 
  has 
  been 
  included 
  in 
  the 
  Library 
  expenses 
  of 
  

   the 
  past 
  year. 
  

  

  Since 
  the 
  publication 
  of 
  the 
  above-mentioned 
  supplement, 
  a 
  new 
  

   reference- 
  catalogue 
  of 
  the 
  Library 
  has 
  been 
  made, 
  in 
  which 
  all 
  the 
  

   books 
  and 
  pamphlets 
  are 
  arranged 
  in 
  one 
  alphabetical 
  list, 
  with 
  

   references 
  to 
  the 
  shelves 
  on 
  which 
  they 
  are 
  kept. 
  It 
  is 
  hoped 
  that 
  

   this 
  single 
  reference 
  -catalogue 
  will 
  remove 
  the 
  inconvenience 
  hereto- 
  

   fore 
  felt 
  by 
  the 
  Fellows 
  in 
  being 
  obliged 
  to 
  consult 
  successively 
  four 
  

   or 
  five 
  different 
  lists. 
  

  

  The 
  baize-coverings 
  of 
  the 
  book-shelves 
  in 
  the 
  Meeting-room 
  have 
  

   been 
  fitted 
  with 
  rollers, 
  so 
  as 
  to 
  render 
  the 
  books 
  more 
  easily 
  acces- 
  

   sible, 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  same 
  time 
  to 
  protect 
  them 
  from 
  dust. 
  

  

  The 
  constantly 
  increasing 
  annual 
  additions 
  to 
  the 
  Library 
  again 
  

   render 
  necessary 
  the 
  erection 
  of 
  new 
  Book-shelves, 
  and 
  the 
  Committee 
  

   recommend 
  therefore 
  such 
  additional 
  shelves 
  being 
  made 
  on 
  the 
  plan 
  

   of 
  those 
  now 
  in 
  the 
  Meeting-room. 
  

  

  The 
  additions 
  made 
  during 
  the 
  last 
  two 
  years 
  to 
  the 
  Society's 
  

   Portfolios 
  have 
  been 
  arranged 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Horace 
  Woodward, 
  who 
  has 
  

   also 
  been 
  of 
  service 
  in 
  making 
  diagrams 
  for 
  the 
  Evening-meetings.
