Sir  Richard  Marcus  Brooke,  Bart.,  of  Norton  Priory,  Runcorn,  was  elected 
a Governor  ; 63  duly  nominated  candidates  were  admitted  into  the  Society 
as  Members  under  By-law  2,  and  one  Member  was  re-elected  under  By-law  11. 
Sir  Gilbert  Greenall,  in  occupying  the  Presidential  Chair  for  the  first 
time,  said  he  was  deeply  sensible  of  the  honour  which  had  been  conferred 
upon  him  by  the  Members  of  the  Society,  to  whom  he  desired  to  express 
his  gratitude.  He  was  fully  cognisant  that  he  was  following  a long  list  of 
illustrious  Presidents,  and  he  asked  for  the  kind  consideration  of  the  Council 
in  his  efforts  to  conduct  the  business  of  the  Society  in  the  manner  they 
would  expect  from  the  occupant  of  that  Chair.  They  had  been  so  kind  as  to 
allow  him  to  carry  on  his  duties  as  Honorary  Director  in  addition  to  the 
Presidency,  and  he  felt  sure  he  could  rely  upon  the  continuance  of  their 
support  and  indulgence  in  carrying  out  the  duties  of  his  offices  during  the 
present  year.
