[Annual Report. 



the original resolve recommended a grant of four hundred 

 copies, but it was reduced previous to its passage to the 

 number above mentioned ; by the terms of the resolve, the 

 Society was compelled to limit its distribution to foreign 

 academies and libraries and most of the principal ones were 

 thus supplied. The judicious action of the Legislature, in 

 placing its scientific publications where they will be of the 

 greatest permanent benefit, merits the commendation of all 

 who, like ourselves, are aiming at the widest diffusion of 

 knowledge.
