ANNUAL EEPOET—1862. 269 
Societj^ is believed to be singular among all like societies in 
the United States. 
But, notwithstanding the healthy condition of the Society’s 
finances, it cannot venture to undertake the publication of its 
Transactions, without hazarding its success in the whole field 
of practical operations. Nor, on the other hand, can it ac¬ 
complish more than a part of the good work it has undertaken 
without the advantage of a regular publication of its Transac- 
ions. For these reason the officers of the Society feel it their 
duty to the interests they bave in trust to reiterate their oft- 
repeated petition that the State will re-establish its former ex¬ 
cellent rule of creditably printing and publishing the said 
Transactions from year to year. 
Eespectfully submitted, 
J. W. HOYT. Secretary.
