Membership and Privileges. 

 Any Candidate for admission as a Fellow must be proposed on a 

 written Certificate, to be signed by three or more Fellows, from 

 tbeir personal acquaintance with him, or knowledge of his cha- 

 racter or writings. 



Fellows, on their election, pay an Admission Fee of £6, and an 

 annual Contribution of £3, which latter may be compounded for at 

 any time by one payment of £45 in lieu of all future contributions. 

 Fellows residing abroad, and not compounding, are required to 

 provide such security for the payment of their annual Contribu- 

 tions as shall be satisfactory to the Council. 



The Fellows are entitled to receive, gratis, all Yolumes, or Parts 

 of Volumes, of the Transactions and Journals, that may be pub- 

 lished after they shall have paid the Admission Fee ; and they 

 may be supplied with any of the Society's publications at a reduc- 

 tion of 25 per cent, under the common selling prices. The 

 Journals are sent, post-free, to Fellows resident in Britain or to 

 agents in Britain of Fellows residing abroad. Such of the Trans- 

 actions as Fellows may be entitled to, or be desirous to purchase, 

 can be had on application at the Society's Apartments or for- 

 warded by a written Order (carriage being paid by the Fellow) ; 

 but none of the Society's publications can be delivered gratis to a 

 Fellow whose yearly Contributions are in arrear, nor can any be
