The Council having fully considered certain proposals 
and applications made by several Members engaged in 
furthering tlie special objects and studies of the Society, are 
desirous of urging the formation of a LiBiiAnr of various 
costly and useful scientific works, and hereby invite attention 
to the subject. 
A request of the Council has already been made, and 
kindly granted by the Co.nmittee of the Bristol Institution, 
to allow this proposed Library to be located in their 
building. 
It has been determined to obtain donations and to set 
on foot a voluntary subscription of not less than one 
shilling annually from each Subscriber. The Library will, 
however, be open to all Members of the Society, whether 
Subscribers or not. 
As the success of the Library will be proportionate to 
the interest manifested by the Members of the Society, and 
their active co-operation in the undertaking, the Council 
hojje that all Members will cordially respond to this appli- 
cation, and forward to the Hon. Secretary their assent. 
By Order of the Council, 
ADOLPH LEIPNEB,, 
Hon. Secretary.
