Proposed by Walter EUiot, Esq., seconded by C. P. Brown, Esq., 

 that steps be taken to render the Society's Library more available than 

 it has hitherto been to the public at large, by throwing it open to a third

 work at a time, on lodging a small deposit with the Librarian, on terms 

 similar to those observed in the Public Libraries at Calcutta and the 

 Cape of Good Hope.
