Library and Librarian. — The number of works added to the Library 

 during the year is 93. This department of the Institution has occupied 

 the Council's serious attention, very much yet remains to be done both 

 in the way of enriching its contents, and opening out and preserving 

 the valuable books and MSS. already collected. Some slight advance 

 towards this latter object has been made in the course of the year 

 under report. It is proposed to devote the whole available surplus of 

 the current year to these purposes. The Librarian's discharge of his 

 duties continues to be most satisfactory.
