REPORT OF THE SECRETARY. 
359 
I see no reason to fear that our finances will prove insufficient, 
a proper degree of economy being maintained. 
The hope expressed by the Secretary in his last report that 
the sale of the Proceedings would show an increase in the 
year just ended, has been amply realized, and it is gratifying 
to see so respectable an addition to our resources under this 
head; much of this is due to the sale. of our Proceedings in 
England, a publisher in London having undertaken the 
Agency there.
