Madras Literary Society and Auxiliary of the Royal Asiatic 

 Society, Thursday Evening, February 26, 1857. 

 Sir C. Rawlinson, Kt., President, in the Chair. 



This was the Annual General Meeting of the Members of the 

 Society. 



The President, on opening the Meeting brought to notice an 

 error that had crept into the Society's monthly Reports, of publish- 

 ing the Proceedings of the Managing Committee of the Madras 

 Literary Society as the Proceedings of the Madras Literary Society, 

 none of the Members of which, save the Managing Committee, 

 appear to have had an opportunity of attending, and it was resolved 

 accordingly that endeavours should be made to give all Members 

 the opportunity of attending any Literary or Scientific Meeting 

 which the Managing Committee might be able to arrange. 



The Secretary read to the Meeting the usual Report and State- 

 ment exhibiting the state of the Society's Funds up to the end 

 of the past year.
