CIRCULAR. 



Complaints have reached the Committee from Members regard-

 and as it is beyond a doubt that Book of unusual interest do not 

 seldom, soon after receipt, find their way into the hands of Non- 

 subscribers to the first Class, and of persons not Members of the 

 Society, to the manifest loss of those who pay a large subscrip- 

 tion to obtain a benefit of which they are thus unfairly deprived, 

 the Committee call on all Members of the Society to aid them in 

 putting a stop to a practice which is most injurious to the Society 

 and most unfair to individuals.
