208 Antmal Report of the Council. 



It having come to the knowledge of the Librarian, that 

 Dr. Adam Bealey, a native of Lancashire, but now of 

 St. Leonards-on-the-Sea, possessed a miniature bust of his 

 old tutor, Dr. Dalton, Mr. Nicholson entered into commu- 

 nication with Dr. Bealey, with the result that the latter has 

 presented the bust to the Society, with the request that it 

 may be placed in the room in which Dr. Dalton formerly 

 sat with his pupils. Dr. Bealey adds that Mr. Peter Clare, 

 Dr. Dalton's executor, told him that the mould from which 

 the bust, which is of a composition resembling ivory, was 

 cast, was broken after twelve copies were produced. The 

 Council has expressed its thanks to Dr. Bealey for this 

 interesting relic.
