sideration the present number of subscribers in India and the existing 

 rate of subscriptions, may fairly be estimated to amount to (3,000) 

 three thousand Rupees. The pressing debts of the Society amount to 

 Us. 4,880, but of Rupees 1,615, which is considered to be in suspense 

 and not hopeless, at least Rs. 1,200 may be considered sooner or later 

 available to meet the liabilities of the Society, which would thus be 

 reduced to Rupees 3,680 ; leaving, however, a surplus of present assets 

 (over the chances of any such ultimate recoveries of sums in the least 

 doubtful, entirely out of consideration and) over every description of 

 debt, which may safely be reckoned to amount to three thousand ru- 

 pees.* 



The Society has, moreover, paid off during the past year the sum 

 of Rupees 4,447-8-3 as the annexed detail shows.
