PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
Wentworth Dilke, Bart., M.P., as the seventh, and the Trust-Deed has this 
day (May 5, 1868) been signed. 
The first purchase made by the Trustees is Dr. Lindley’s Botanical and 
Horticultural Library, at a cost of £600, and steps are being taken to make 
the Library available. As the Trustees are unanimously of opinion that the 
addition of such a Library to the Horticultural Society would be a great boon 
to students of Horticulture and Botany, and also materially promote the best 
interests of the Boyal Horticultural Society, and as the Trustees wish to make 
it as perfect as possible, they think it right to call upon the Bellows of the Boyal 
Horticultural Society to aid them with funds and presents of books, to extend 
the usefulness of the Library which has thus been commenced. 
v The Trustees have the gratification of being able to announce that Her 
Majesty the Queen has been graciously pleased to present to the Lindley 
Library a botanical work of the value of twenty-five guineas. 
The Trustees are also happy to be able to state that already several Bellows 
of the Society and other Gentlemen have promised valuable assistance; 
amongst them,
