FORM E. 
FORM OF BEQUEST. 
I give and bequeath to the Trustees or Trustee for the time 
being of The Ytctoria Institute, or Philosophical Society 
OF Great Britain, to be applied by them or him for the 
purposes of the said Society, the sum of £ , 
such sum to be wholly paid out of such part of my personal 
estate as may be lawfully applied to the purposes of charity, 
and in priority to all other legacies. And I declare that the 
receipt of the Trustees or Trustee for the time being of the 
said Society shall be a good discharge to my Executors for the 
said legacy. 
The Journal is arranged so as to secure its special useful- 
ness to Country and Foreign Members and Associates (who 
form two-thirds of the Institute). 
The Journal contains the Papers read at the 
Meetings, and the Discussions thereon. 
Before they are published in the Journal, the papers themselves 
and the discussions, are revised and corrected by their Authors, and 
MS. comments and supplementary remarks are added, which have been 
sent in by those Home and Foreign Members to whom, as being specially 
qualified to pronounce an opinion upon the respective subjects, proof copies 
of the Papers have been submitted for consideration. These arrangements, 
which cannot but add to the value of the Journal, are carried out with 
a view to the advantage of all, especially Country and Foreign Members, 
v/ho thus find in the Journal much valuable matter, in addition to that 
which had come before those actually present at the Meetings.
