Election^ ^"c. of Memliers. 



xxvii 



Council which shall take place next after one month shall have elapsed after such 

 request shall have been placed in the council-room, the Council shall take the 

 matter thereof into their consideration ; but tlie Council shall not so take it into 

 consideration unless twelve Members of the Council at the least shall be present. 

 If this number is not present, the consideration of the request shall be adjourned to 

 the next monthly meeting of the Council, and so on'till a montlily meeting shall 

 take place at which twelve Members are present. If the Council so constituted 

 shall unanimously agree to the dismissal of such Member, he shall be no longer a 

 Member of the Society : but if they do not unanimously agi-ee to his dismissal, 

 their decision shall be considered to have been made in his favour : Provided 

 always, that his dismissal shall not relieve him from the payment of any debt pre- 

 viously due by him to the Society; and that, if a Life-Governor or Life-Member, 

 he shall not have any claim to any portion of the commutation he has paid. 



Payment of Suhscription. — Subscriptions may be paid to the Secretary, in the 

 most direct and satisfactory manner, either at the office of the Society, No. 12, 

 Hanover-square, London, between the hours of ten and four, or by means of post- 

 oiEce orders, to be obtained on application at any of the principal post-offices 

 throughout the kingdom, and made payable to him at the General Post-office, 

 London ; but any cheque on a banker's or other house of business in London will 

 be equally available, if made payable on demand. In obtaining post-office orders 

 care should be taken to give the postmaster the correct Christian name and sur- 

 name of the Secretary of the Society, otherwise the payment will be refused to him 

 at the post-office on which such order has been obtained : and when remitting the 

 money-orders it should be stated by whom, and on whose account, they are sent. 

 Cheques should be made payable as drafts on demand (not as bills only payable 

 after sight, or a certain number of days after date), and should be drawn on a 

 London (not a local country) banker. When payment is made to JNIessrs. Driim- 

 mond, as the bankers of the Society, it will be desirable that the Secretary should 

 be advised by letter of such payment, in order that the entry in the banker's book 

 may be at once identified, and the amount posted to the credit of the proper party. 

 No coin should be remitted by post. As local cheques on country hankers are not 

 -payable in London, and will not he received as cash by the Society's bankers, it 

 will be desirable that post office orders, payable in London, shoidd be sent in lieu 

 of them. 



Journal. — The Parts of the Society's Journal ai-e published half-yearly (the first 

 Part of each year making its appearance about the end of July or the beginning 

 of August) ; and (when the subscription is not in arrear) they are forwarded by 

 post to INIembers residing in the country, or are delivered personally, at the 

 Society's office, to IMembers, or to the bearer of their written order. They can 

 also be delivered free at any address in Town, excepting that of a London book- 

 seller: but although the arrangements of booksellers in many cases render such 

 channel of transmission an inconvenient one to all parties, the Journals will be 

 delivered at the Society's office to the collectors of booksellers, on their presenting 

 a Member's written order for the same. Should no special instruction be given by 

 a Member for the transmission of his Journal, the copies, as a matter of course, will 

 be transmitted to him by post, as published, to such address as may stand against 

 his name in the official list of the Society. As packets become liable to a renewal 

 of postage-stamps on re-direction from one place in the country to another, it is 

 important that all changes of address should be notified to the Secretary as 

 they occur. All the back numbers of the Journal are kept constantly on sale by 

 the publisher, John Murray, 50, Albemarle Street.
