314 STAMFORD HILL HORTICULTURAL READING SOCIETY, 
of meeting in and containing a library, when the funds of the Society will 
permit. 
Committee of Management. —Mr. J. Curry, Mr. J. Cleverly, Mr. W. Watts, Mr. 
J. B. Shaw, Mr. J. Adamson, jun., Mr. J. Welch, Mr. F. Fraser, Mr. W. Adamson, 
jun., Mr. W. Wilson, Mr. C. Wharton, Mr. J. Clark, Mr. T. Gillan. 
The Committee of Management, in submitting the following Report, congratu¬ 
late the Society upon the progressing prosperity of its affairs. It is gratifying to 
them to be enabled to state, that the whole of the expenses incidental to the esta¬ 
blishment of the Library and Reading-Room, as contemplated at the institution of 
the Society, has been defrayed, (including the enlargement of the room, the pur¬ 
chase of book-case, books, &c.,) that there is not any outstanding demand upon 
the Society’s funds, and that the balance in the Treasurer’s hands is highly satis¬ 
factory, as will be seen by reference to the account. 
They solicit from all well-wishers to the Institution presents of books, as they 
will greatly facilitate its objects, and will be thankfully acknowledged : they hope 
for a continuance of the support of honorary members, and rely upon the exertions 
of the members generally to promote its welfare and usefulness.
