and while they perceive that the Society yearly advances in 

 public estimation, they express their conviction that it has 

 only to persevere in the course hitherto pursued to render its 

 utility more universally known and distinguished.

Dr. Heaton moved " that the Report of the Council, 

 together with the Statement of the Accounts, be received 

 and printed." He congratulated the Society on the very 

 satisfactory Report which he had the pleasure of moving. 

 The statement of the financial affairs of the Society was 

 most gratifying, and clearly showed that the esteem in which 

 the Society was held was gradually increasing ; and, from the 

 nature of the knowledge which it purported to communicate, 

 he was sure that it deserved to rise higher and higher, and 

 he felt no doubt but that it would do so. He was glad that 

 their efficient Secretary, Mr. Thorp, would, in future, be 

 relieved from a great portion of his hitherto very laborious 

 duties ; and thus the efficiency and usefulness of the Society 

 would be preserved and increased. 



Phineas Beaumont, Esq., seconded the motion. 



* a deficiency is apparent in these amounts, which is occasioned by £l Us. 6d. having been 

 deducted by some Members for not receiving their Reports.
