of this excellent Inttitution find it necef- 
fary, on account of the fmallnefs of the 
temporary Lecture-room, to limit the ad- 
miffion to the Leétures for this Seffion to 
‘the Proprietors and other Subfcribers ; 
but they flatter themfelves that before the 
‘next feafon the new Leéture-room will be 
finifhed, which will afford accommodation 
to a much more numerous audience.
