of the Institute by introducing new Members, and by making 
its objects known in their respective neighbourhoods. 
In conclusion, the Council cannot but express its thankful- 
ness for the success which continues to attend the Society’s 
exertions. The time when it was only known as a Society 
working in the United Kingdom has passed by, and it can 
now count its supporters in many a country throughout the 
world. The existence of such support greatly adds to the 
efficiency with which its objects are carried out, and should 
induce all to assist in extending its influence whilst oppor- 
tunity offers.
