ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING. 



V 



twelve months, and letters are constantly received from the most 

 distant and diverse sources testifying to the Fellows' appreciation 

 of this renewed branch of the Society's work. 



The Council wish to repeat verbatim one paragraph of their 

 last year's Eeport, which runs as follows : — 



" All these Conferences and Meetings, and especially the work 

 and maintenance of the Chiswick Gardens and the pLiblication 

 of the Journal, have involved the Society in a very large outlay, 

 and the Council take this opportunity of endeavouring to impress 

 upon Fellows the absolute necessity there is for them all in- 

 dividually (as many as have the Society's welfare at heart) to 

 endeavour to secure new Fellows to the Society, if its work is 

 not only to be continued at its present standard, but still more 

 so if the ever-opening and extended opportunities of usefulness 

 are to be embraced and accepted. The adoption of £1. Is. as 

 one rate of subscription was, no doubt, a popular movement, but 

 the Council desire to remind the Fellows that such a low rate of 

 Fellowship can only be self-supporting if it draws into the 

 Society a very large number (far larger than at present exists) of 

 additional Fellows. The Council therefore venture to express 

 the hope that every Fellow of the Society will make an endeavour 

 to obtain at least one new Fellow during the present year. A 

 statement of the privileges of Fellows and of the aims and 

 objects of the Society, together with a form of nomination to 

 Fellowship, is for this purpose enclosed with this Eeport." 



The following table will show the Society's progress in regard 

 to numerical strength during the past year : —
