20. Committees, &C. — The Society owes a constantly recurring debt to the 

 Members of the Standing and Special Committees, Chairmen, Judges, Writers 

 of Papers for the Journal, Compilers of Extracts, Reviewers, Lecturers, and the 

 several Examiners, who, during the past twelve months have done so much to 

 contribute to the Society's national usefulness and to help to maintain its high 

 standing among the practical and scientific institutions of the world. 



The Council desire to cordially acknowledge their obligations to their staff 

 and also to the Press for their invaluable assistance in reporting, and calling 

 attention to, the work of the Society.
