II. Resolved, — That the book in question be accepted, with thanks f 

 and deposited in the Library. 



Bead note from "W". A. D. Inglis, Esq., and Librarian's Memorandum 

 on the subject thereof. 



Mr. Inglis returns per bearer Evelina in 2 vols, and will thank the 

 Librarian to send " The Doctor by Southey" or " Niehol's Literary 

 Anecdotes of the 18th Century." Only 2 vols, of " Memoirs of Mrs. 

 Grant of Laggan" were received by Mr. Inglis and were returned by 

 him. Mr* I* is positive and certain of this as not having looked at the 

 Catalogue, to ascertain the proper number of volumes he supposed the 

 two vols- received were the only ones and was surprised at the appa- 

 rently abrupt conclusion of the work.

To 



Mr. Bantleman, Librarian Literary Society, 

 Memorandum. 



On the 13th October last the Memoirs of Mrs. Grant of Laggan Log 

 3 vols, were forwarded to W. A. D. Inglis, Esq., Chingleput, who ap- 

 plied for the same. A few days after a peon of the Society mentioned 

 to me that he was informed by a peon of A. W. Phillips, Esq., Chingle- 

 put, that one of the vols, sent to Mr. Inglis on the above date was 

 lost on the way. On the 21st November last Mr. Inglis returned to 

 the Library, with other books, the two first vols, of Mrs. Grant's Me- 

 moirs without making any mention about the 3d vol. In fact I should 

 have remained quiet under the impression that it was not yet finished 

 had I not previously heard of its loss — consequently I immediately 

 wrote to Mr. Inglis stating that the 3d vol- was not returned to which 

 he sent me tne accompanying answer. 



III. Resolved, — That Mr. Inglis, who seems clearly responsible for 

 the loss of the volume in question, be immediately called upon to re- 

 place, or pay for it.
