36. In the report to the last General Meeting, mention was 
made of the intended preparation of a Text-Book which had been 
undertaken by the Society, in compliance with the many demands 
that had been addressed to it for an elementary work on agriculture 
adapted for use in rural and other schools aiid classes. The general 
scheme of the work was settled by a Sub-Committee appointed by 
the Council, and consisting of Lord Moreton (Chairman), Major 
Craigie, Mr. C. De L. Faunce De Laune, Mr. D. Pidgeon, Mr. 
Martin J. Sutton, and Mr. Charles Whitehead. The detailed pre- 
, paration of the Text-Book was placed in the capable hands of Dr. 
W. Fream, and the proof-shocts have been submitted to and revised 
by distinguished authorities in each branch of the subject. The 
book has now been completed, and will be published on the 1st 
I January next, under the authority of the Society, by Mr. John 
I Murray. It will consist of 4-50 pages, with 200 illustrations, and 
it is hoped that it will be found fitted to become a standard work 
on the subject of which it treats. With the object of making it as 
generally useful and available as possible, tlie Council have fixed 
the publishing price at half a crown, which, spreading the expense 
of production over a large number of copies, is as nearly as possible 
the cost price. 
By Order of the Council, 
Eknest Clarke, 
Secretary.
