ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING.

ings as a legislative body, and stand up while they addressed the 
meeting. 
Mr. Godwin (of Birmingham) moved that the Report just read, 
be received and entered on the minutes, and that the thanks of 
the meeting are due to the Council. 
Mr. Vines begged, before that motion was put, to say a few 
words on the subject. All that had been done had been praised. 
Now he quite disapproved of it, and he would contend that the 
general body of members who were distributed throughout the 
country were not fairly treated, by those who reside only within 
twenty miles of London having intimation of the Annual Meeting, 
and thereby a voice in the deliberations. 
Mr. Cherry , senior , observed, that it was the Charter which 
prevented them. 
Mr. Hunt seconded the adoption of the Report. 
Professor Dick said, as no other gentleman seemed desirous of 
remarking on the Report just read to the meeting, he would do so. 
He had observed that in the commencement of the Report read, the 
Council stated that they “ had limited their statements to a mere

fact stated in the Report was, that a Committee had set “ to con- 
sider the letters of Dr. Knox and Mr. Mather,” and yet those 
letters were not introduced into the Report, which they ought to 
have been. The third point to which he would allude was, as to 
the division into three schools. He had condemned that, and also 
the division this year. He also condemned the manner in which 
he had been treated by the Council and the deputation to Scotland, 
by whom he had been condemned unheard. He would not, how- 
ever, be condemned unheard. He had laboured hard and inces- 
santly night and day to benefit the profession, and yet he was to 
be condemned unheard, because he had done too much. Then the 
Report said he was to be admonished for this. For what, he would 
ask ? Not a word would be heard from him, but he was to be 
condemned. He would now come to the plan. Professor Dick 
then went on to say, that he had written to Dr. M'Gregor, disap-
