2. The Committee is glad to inform the meeting that the financial 
condition of the Institution is sound and satisfactory. 
3. Printing and Publication. —Vol. VII. of the " Proceedings ” has 
been completed, comprising the papers enumerated in the following 
list. 
The number of foreign military pamphlets (chiefly German), of great 
interest, of which translations have been offered for publication in the 
“ Proceedings,” has induced the Committee to publish them separately 
from the "Proceedings.” The interest and importance attached to 
these pamphlets render their publication indispensable, but their 
presence in the " Proceedings ” would tend very much to diminish the 
value of the latter as a collection of original articles. For many of 
these translations, the thanks of the Institution are due to Captain 
W. J. Brancker, R.A., and Lieuts. H. W. L. Hime, R.A., H. E. G. 
Craufurd, E.A., F. E. B. Loraine, E.H.A., and D. F. Jones, E.A. 
The entire absence from the “ Proceedings ” in future of translations 
will tend to diminish their usual bulk, and members are therefore in¬ 
vited to increase their exertions to obtain original papers on subjects 
of professional interest.
