and the Council would be glad to be able to congratulate the 
Members and Associates on the possession of a Library-

14. It is satisfactory to be able to add, in conclusion, that 
many gratifying proofs exist that the substantial work already 
accomplished by the Victoria Institute in the publication of 
so many valuable Papers and Discussions, is becoming better 
known through the Press, and is beginning to be better 
appreciated both by the clergy and by the general public. 
The Council would suggest to the present Members and 
Associates that they might with advantage point out to their 
friends that while the Society is most anxious to have an 
accession of adherents who are connected with literature, 
science, and philosophy, the Institute also requires the sup- 
port of others as subscribers and as readers, in order to 
advance and extend its objects and operations. 
Signed on behalf of the Council, 
R. Thornton, D.D, Vice-President, 
Chairman.
