the Council, not only by making the Institute known in their 
respective localities whenever they considered opportunity 
offered, but also by communicating information, thus enabling 
the Society to better carry out its work, especially in regard 
to the general public, for whom the objects have a high 
importance, and for whom those papers which are published 
in the “ People’s Edition” are designed.
