HELD AT CALNE, 

 August lilt, Mh, and 9tk, 1888, 



THE PRESIDENT OF THE SOCIETY, 



The Right Rev. The Lord Bishop of Salisbury, 

 in the chaie. 



jj^Jj^ROM various causes this was the first occasion on which the 

 $ Society held its Annual Meeting at Calne, several previous 

 intentions of doing so having from one cause and another 

 miscarried. The attractions, however, of the neighbourhood are very- 

 great, and embrace some of the grandest monuments of antiquity in 

 Wiltshire : the weather was all that could be desired. No wonder, 

 then, that the Meeting was well attended throughout, and was 

 completely successful. 



The General Meeting for receiving the Report and transacting 

 the business of the Society was fixed for 3 o'clock, at the Town 

 Hall, but as the arrival of the Right Rev. President had been un- 

 fortunately delayed, and there was much work to be done, on the 

 motion of the Rev. A. C. Smith, The Ven. Archdeacon Buchanan
