  more

  Finding 
  that 
  there 
  was 
  some 
  occasional 
  demand 
  for 
  the 
  Abstracts 
  

   of 
  the 
  Proceedings 
  issued 
  after 
  each 
  Meeting 
  of 
  the 
  Society, 
  and 
  

   that 
  sets 
  of 
  the 
  Abstracts, 
  if 
  furnished 
  with 
  a 
  titlepage 
  and 
  index 
  

   for 
  each 
  Session, 
  might 
  be 
  available 
  for 
  exchange 
  with 
  Societies 
  both 
  

   at 
  home 
  and 
  abroad 
  whose 
  publications 
  are 
  on 
  too 
  small 
  a 
  scale 
  for 
  

   exchange 
  against 
  the 
  Quarterly 
  Journal, 
  the 
  Council 
  resolved 
  that 
  

   in 
  future 
  the 
  Abstracts 
  of 
  Proceedings 
  for 
  each 
  Session 
  should 
  bear 
  

   a 
  running 
  pagination 
  and 
  be 
  furnished 
  with 
  a 
  titlepage 
  and 
  index, 
  

   and 
  that 
  the 
  remainder 
  of 
  the 
  impressions 
  at 
  the 
  close 
  of 
  the 
  Session 
  

   should 
  be 
  stitched 
  in 
  a 
  wrapper 
  for 
  sale 
  or 
  exchange. 
  The 
  price 
  for 
  

   each 
  Session 
  was 
  fixed 
  at 
  three 
  shillings 
  to 
  the 
  Public, 
  and 
  two 
  

   shillings 
  to 
  Fellows. 
  

  

  In 
  accordance 
  with 
  the 
  announcement 
  in 
  the 
  Council's 
  last 
  Report, 
  

   the 
  Catalogue 
  of 
  the 
  Library 
  was 
  issued 
  immediately 
  after 
  the 
  last 
  

   Anniversary 
  Meeting. 
  Notwithstanding 
  the 
  usefulness 
  of 
  the 
  volume 
  

   and 
  the 
  low 
  price 
  at 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  issued 
  to 
  Fellows, 
  the 
  Council 
  re- 
  

   gret 
  to 
  say 
  that 
  the 
  number 
  of 
  impressions 
  sold 
  to 
  the 
  present 
  time 
  

   is 
  much 
  smaller 
  than 
  was 
  expected.

  Council 
  have 
  to 
  announce 
  the 
  completion 
  of
