REPORT, 
PRESENTED TO THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE SOCIETY, 
February Qtk , 1827 . 
In the review of the Society’s proceedings during the past 
year, which it is the duty of the Council to lay before the 
Annual Meeting, they are led by the documents which they 
now produce, to remark, in the first place, upon the number 
and value of the acquisitions which the Society has made, 
compared with the expenditure of its funds. 
It will be remembered that, in the last report of the Trea¬ 
surer, there remained, on the general summary of the accounts, 
a balance of Eighty-one Pounds against the Society; 
and though, to meet this balance struck on the thirty-first 
of December, the subscriptions due in the following January 
were available, and the debt might so far be considered as 
little more than nominal, it yet appeared to the Council indis¬ 
pensably necessary to guard against any further anticipation 
of the Society’s resources.
