calling this present meeting. 
Members and Associates . 
# 3. Your Committee have to express their regret that various 
circumstances prevented them from completing the organiza- 
tion of the Society sooner, and obliged them to postpone till to- 
day the First General Meeting of its Members and Associates. 
At the same time they would desire to recognize the kind 
forbearance of the earliest enrolled members of the Society, in 
making every allowance for this delay, arising from difficulties 
which are probably always attendant upon new undertakings. 
There has been a gratifying evidence among the members of 
a calm confidence in a good cause that would only gather 
strength by time, and which, therefore, need make no undue 
haste. If, however, our meetings commence some few months 
later than wa's originally expected, your Committee have the 
satisfaction of being able to congratulate the Society, that its 
proceedings now commence with, they believe, an unpre- 
cedented number of Members and Associates. 
4. On the 1st of this month 158 Members had joined, and 
21 Associates, making 179 in all, including one Yice-Patron, 
five Life Members, and one Second-Class Life Associate. 
Since that date 10 new Members and 3 Associates have 
joined, making a total of 192 Members and Associates.
