Mr. Lorensz stated that he had a sum of £60 in the bank in his 

 name as Treasurer of a Society which once existed here called the 

 Atheneeum, and said that he thought it might be made use of by 

 the Society for the purpose of bringing out the Journal. Some 

 conversation was carried on as to the legality of this, and it was 

 determined that Mr. Lorensz should write to all the share holders, 

 whose addresses he could discover, to ask their permission to appro- 

 priate their funds to the purpose mentioned.
