REPORT. 
25 
Yorkshire, are disposed to unite in prosecuting their 
common objects; objects which may be in many respects 
materially advanced by mutual aid and friendly coopera¬ 
tion. 1 
Having thus given a general view of the proceedings and 
progress of the Society, and having laid before the meeting 
a full and explicit statement of its pecuniary affairs, the 
Council, in concluding, must express their conviction, that 
the success and the character of the Institution justify the 
expense of the arrangements which have been made for its 
accommodation; and that its future prospects would have 
been injured, if the general design had been narrower, or its 
execution less perfect. They venture to hope that the 
public favour which has prospered it so far, will be 
so much further extended, as not to leave it in an em¬ 
barrassed condition ; and they trust, when the Annual 
Meeting assembles again within the walls of the New 
Museum, it will be in their power to congratulate the 
Society on the enjoyment of all the advantages which it 
has acquired, unincumbered and complete. 
1 In addition to Mr. Phillips’s Lectures, announced in page 18, a liberal offer 
was made on the day of the Annual Meeting, by E. S. George, Esq. F.L.S. 
Curator of the Leeds Phil, and Lit. Society, to deliver a course of four 
experimental lectures on some of the most interesting subjects of Chemical 
Science ; the proceeds of the course to be applied to the establishment of the 
Society’s laboratory. These lectures will be given during the Autumn, in the 
Theatre of the New Museum.
