NOTE. 
It will readily be observed that the returns do not corn- 
prize more than one third of the counties in which cloth 
was exhibited. As this duty is not enforced by penalties 
on the clerks, the neglect of it is easily explained. 
By a resolution of the Society, samples of the various 
specimens of woollen cloth, which have received county 
premiums, are preserved in its archives. They are bound 
up in volumes, one for each year, and may be viewed at any 
time by the members.
