6. The President submitted to the Council that it was 

 undesirable that voluminous communications containing a 

 fresh mass of materials should be read before the Society in 

 the course of the discussions on a Paper. His Lordship 

 pointed out that such communications ought to be brought 

 before the Society in the form of Papers, after having been 

 submitted to and passed by the Council. 



Resolved, — That this Council do heartily endorse his 

 Lordship's views, and desire his Lordship to announce them 

 to the Meeting convened for that evening.
