 close. The weather had been admirable — hot but not dusty — the 

 attendance of Members was much more satisfactory than has been 

 the case for some years past — the fare provided was varied, and 

 though the Churches, with the exception of Sherston, had nothing 

 startling about them, and the houses, with the exception of Charlton, 

 are not treated of in architectural books, and the earthworks seen

 the pictures at Grrittleton and Charlton thrown in, there have been 

 few meetings of late years which have been more unreservedly 

 pronounced a success by those attending them. The arrangements 

 were well made and excellently carried out, and the good people of 

 Malmesbury did their duty by the Society right well. 



Note. — A very full and good account of the proceedings at the 

 Malmesbury Meeting appeared in the Devizes Gazette, July 12th, 

 19th, 26th, and August 2nd, 9th, and 16th.
