suggested to me." (Mr. Brown's letter, enclosed by 
Mr. Walker, was also read to the meeting.) 
The President said that in reference to this matter 
there had been some misapprehension with regard to the 
intention of the Society. It was felt by some members 
of the Society that the memorial of the late Mr. Camp- 
bell, which it was proposed to place in the Society's 
rooms, should be entirely provided for out of the funds 
of the Society. Such being the case, and not wish- 
ing that the society should be placed in debt, the 
Treasurer stated at a meeting or two ago, that 
the Society itself could not afford to give more than 
fifty guineas for such a memorial. The question was, 
whether the Society should alone undertake the work of 
the memorial to Mr. Campbell, or whether the Society 
should ask the assistance of members who were personal 
friends of the deceased, in placing a bust or portrait 
in the Society's rooms of greater value than could be 
afforded by the actual Society. It was for this meeting" 
to decide how it should be. For his own part, he 
thought that the right course to adopt would be, that 
the Society should give a certain sum, and that members 
of the Society alone should be permitted to add whatever 
sums they wished, to provide for the memorial in question. 
He hardly thought that the Society, with the small 
amount of money at its command, was alone able to 
provide a fitting memorial. 
Mr. Forshaw said that he was present at the meeting 
to-day from the fa6t that he had taken some interest in 
the question just stated to members by the President ; 
and at the outset he would state that any action he 
had taken in the matter was not due to any antagonism
