" That whilst they tender their thanks in this behalf, the Members 

 of the Society also bear in mind, that no Papers have been published 

 of late years in this place, containing matter more interesting and 

 useful than the Minutes of the progresses of Sir H. G. Ward himself, 

 through the different Provinces of his Government ; and, inasmuch as 

 it has pleased him to cause a copy of those Minutes to be deposited 

 in this Library, they, with much pleasure accept them, not only as 

 a record of what can be done by an enterprising Governor for the 

 benefit of the governed, but as an incentive to the Members of Her 

 Majesty's Services, to lend their aid by contributing objects of interest 

 and occasional papers to this institution, in developing the natural 

 resources of the Colony."'
