ANNUAL REPORT 
AND 
ABSTRACT OF PROCEEDINGS OF A GENERAL MEETING OF THE ROYAL 
ARTILLERY INSTITUTION, HELD ON MAY 20, 1875. 
Colonel W. C. F. Gosling, R.H.A., in the Chain. 
1. The Committee of the It. A. Institution beg to present their 
Annual Report to the general meeting^ of the members. It contains a 
statement of what has been accomplished during the past year, a sum¬ 
mary of the present condition of the various branches, and some 
proposals which the Committee trust may meet with approval. 
2. Committee meetings have taken place once a month, and oftener 
when required. At these meetings many questions have been dis¬ 
cussed referring to the general management, the admission of honorary 
members, the exchange of “ Proceedings” with foreign powers, &c. &c. 
3. The Committee have complied, so far as possible, with a wish ex¬ 
pressed at the last general meeting to the effect that the “Proceedings” 
should appear at regular intervals : the issues have been made quarterly, 
and have contained the original papers named in Appendix “ A 33 • 
while the “Translations” in Appendix “B” have been brought out 
in a separate form but at the same dates. The Committee will endea¬ 
vour to continue the periodical issue, but wish to reserve the power 
of making such alteration as may be rendered desirable by an inequality 
in the supply of matter. 
4. The collection of coins in the possession of the R.A. Institution 
has been carefully arranged and placed in a suitable case by Lt.-Col. 
Gi. G. Pearse, R.A. The Committee consider that this officer is de¬ 
serving of special thanks for the services so rendered, and they hope 
that members possessing any coins of interest will assist the collection. 
5. A complete War Game, including maps of the country in the 
vicinity of Aldershot, Reading, Henley, and Knockholt, has been placed 
at the disposal of the members during the past year. The arrange¬ 
ments have been carried out by a Sub-Committee, and no expense has 
been incurred by the players. 
6. On list “ C ” in Appendix will be found particulars of the 
Lectures which have been given in the R.A. Institution during the
