300 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE 
number which have passed since the obtainment of the Charter 
is 402. The names on the register are 1736, and the authen¬ 
ticated deaths 408, thus leaving 1328 members at present either 
practising or reaping the advantage of having practised their 
profession. 
The financial report of the College will be found satisfactory, 
although extraordinary demands have again been made on its 
funds. These have arisen from the endeavours made to obtain 
an act of exemption and the new edition of the Register. A 
balance, however, of £304..17^..4cZ. is still in hand, all liabilities 
having been liquidated up to the present day. 
These statements, few and short, give the epitome of the 
labours of your Council for the year. Their object has been the 
improvement and well-doing of the profession, with the direction 
of the interests of which they have had the honour of being in¬ 
trusted. “ Few and far between” have been the exceptions to 
this, the Council had almost said, unanimous course of action. 
That it soon may become so, and that the result may be such as 
to be felt by every member of the profession, and so felt as to be 
gratefully acknowledged, is the earnest wish with which they 
close their Annual Report.
